Getting hitbotted on adwords

What if we have suspicions about getting hitbotted?

funny how i would spend the same for 2 months then a new competitor sets in and the number of impressions and clicks double from that day on, for one keyword in particular.

The traffic isn't productive either

I'm starting to suspect foul play

Anyone ever experienced that before? What have you done?

Google AdWords is very productive for me, 2:1-3:1 return on investment.

Thats just part of the game... No doubt your competitors will always click your link if you're the top bidder.

Thats one of PPC's weaknesses.

yes, please buy my stock on the nasdaq

LPSN ticker

Humanclick will alow you to see visitors in your website, where they came from, how they got there, and in your case, how many times they have come before... when their last visit was. very useful when trying to figure out of you're getting hit botted from adwords.

remember LPSN on nasdaq cuz im spammin

It happens all the time. Gather up your facts, send them to google in as clear and concise a manner as possible and they will probably credit you for the bogus clicks.

Yep, just happened to me the past few days. Had a campaign jump to 40% ctr past few days and cost me all kinds of money with fuck all in conversions.
