Click Fraud
Click fraud is the practice of generating illegitimate clicks on pay-per-click ads, by bots or competitors, to waste an advertiser's budget or distort data.
It can quietly drain spend without producing real customers. For example, a competitor repeatedly clicking your ads can exhaust your daily budget before genuine buyers see it. Detection tools and click-fraud protection help block invalid traffic and reclaim wasted spend.
