Doesn't Google track the IP of the people who click on an ad? If I click an adsense ad 10 times, does it charge the advertiser for 10 clicks?

One thing is for sure... when it comes to class action suits, most of the time the only winners are the lawyers. Of course there are cases of socially beneficial suits (mass torts against jacked up bank billing, etc) but these are often outweighed by crap suits.

Those pesky lawyers ;)

The fear of lawsuits probably helps keep companies honest?

What a load of shit.. I mean the click fraud I can understand people getting pissed about.. But overcharging? Give me a fucking break, these people need to be piled up onto a ship and flown to the sun..
Firstly Google can charge however much money it wants to charge, they own the site and no one can tell them how much they can or cannot charge for advertising..
Secondly the amount that the advertising costs isn't set by google it is set by the competitors
Thirdly, where else in the world can a small business do a multi-national advertising campaign that reaches potentially millions on a budget of a few grand?

These whiney little bitches are just pissed off that they can't make money online so they are doing what unsuccesfull american businesses do best, which is to sue people they think are responsible for their own failures..
