This will become a major problem for interactive marketers. It's great that the major players are taking action. More: http://domusinc.blogspot.com/2009/06/click-fraud-and-ppc-marketing.html

What kind of a family would help hand in hand in scamming other people just to get money? Didn't even anyone of them were in the right mind to stop this? Anyway, I did my own research. I found a wow gold selling review site where the author was lucky enough to deal with WoWMine. The chat transcripts and review was hilarious. Maybe other search engines should also do their own investigation about these guys. http://www.wowgoldfacts.com/2009/06/17/an-open-letter-to-googlecom%E2%80%99s-matt-cutts/

As an active advertiser with Adwords and Live Center I’m glad “someone” is doing something in regards to click fraud, it’s just a joke these days that conversion rates go down while the click costs go up. A+ Microsoft!
