Christopher, the simple fact that Adwords (who feeds AskJeeves ads) is billing me AFTER the click means that AskJeeves is intentionally encouraging people to MAKE ME donate to the red cross.

And NO, not with money they have already collected from me but by simply charging my credit card AFTER they have generated fraudulent clicks.

Short of making a charge back, the only option I have is to pause my Adwords account (which I did) to limit casualties.

Geez, this is exactly the kind of thing that backfires on the reputation of ANY PPC advertising.

How about changing the term of PPC to CFF (Click For Fraud) PTRs (pay to read) are bad enough but this path is bringing PPC down the banner way.

Makes you wonder if AskJeeves has its own team of clickers...

Advertisers will simply pull out of PPC...
