    12 percent Click Fraud from Google = $1.5 billion, claim your Refund NOW

    Google's offer is $4.50 refund on every $1,000 spent

    thats not the 12 percent Click Fraud Google. Google made $1.5 billion off click fraud.

    If enough advertisers balk, it might derail the deal. Google has the right to nullify the settlement if advertisers that supplied more than 5 percent of its revenue since 2001 reject the agreement.

    The index's initial findings, released in late April, estimated Google and Yahoo suffered a click fraud rate of 12 percent, translating to more than $1.5 billion of Google's ad revenue.


    Attorneys suing Google in the California case say they will do everything possible to persuade advertisers to reject the Arkansas settlement.

    "Google's motto is 'do no evil,' but it's not following its own advice by entering into this kind of settlement," lawyer Brian Kabateck said.


    Given those findings, the settlement amount in the Arkansas class action "was very surprising to us," said Tom Cuthbert, Click Forensics' chief executive. "If I were an advertiser, I would take great care in studying that settlement."

                      i wonder if they are counting the accidental clicks as part of that fraud which is very much fraud on googles part.
                      .
                      you know how you might highlight text on a google add (sometimes i do this to see text clearly.. (it auto clicks that links)

                      or the super long bars on forum websites and other sites where you accidently click on the white space of the ad and suck up teh advertisers money...

                      should be illegal to have the white space click the link

                                        Google will end up telling those people to fuck off, and lower rates a bit, and replace thier bog buyers. Or the people will see it as an expense, and use it on thier taxes
