How To Stop ClickFraud & Fake Clicks On Google Ads

Описание: In This Video We Share Our Strategy To Stop Fake Clicks & Click Fraud On Google Ads

Click fraud is a huge issue when you're running Google Ads particularly in competitive markets. In some markets we have customers paying $20, $30, $50 and in rare cases $100 per click so even a small amount of click fraud and fake clicks can be costly.

In this video we break down the main types of click fraud I see in real Google Ads accounts, what actually helps ✅ and what doesn’t ❌

Types of fake or wasted clicks we cover:
• Random ad-hoc clicking from competitors 👀
• Automated tools and click fraud software 🤖
• Bots, crawlers, and scrapers loading ads 🕷️
• Real users clicking ads instead of organic results 🔁

Click fraud protection tools – what they really do:
We use Clickcease - https://www.wpspeedfix.com/clickcease/
• Blocking countries outside your target market 🌍
• Blocking VPN and proxy traffic 🔐
• Auto-blocking after multiple clicks in a short window ⏱️
• Why these tools are imperfect but still better than nothing 👍

Google Ads setup changes that reduce click fraud:
• Use “Presence” targeting only, not “Presence or interest” 🎯
• Why Google discourages maximize clicks and click-based bidding ⚠️
• How regular negative keyword mining protects your budget 💸
• Why running brand ads actually helps 🏷️
• The role of a properly optimized Google Maps listing 📍

Tracking and technical signals that matter:
• Why the Google Ads pixel must be present and firing correctly 📊
• How broken or paused JavaScript can hurt invalid-click detection 🧠

Cloudflare as an extra layer of defence:
• Country-level filtering 🛡️
• Making your site a harder target 🚧
• Helping Google better classify invalid traffic 🔍
