Adwords Campaign has gone crazy!

I have run a google adwords campaign for over 2 yrs and have 3 online monitors to determine if the PPC traffic I receive is legitimate.

Of the 3 I am using... I put the code of the most reliable at the top of my website. I have always known I was paying for extra PPC traffic but accepted it as the cost of doing business.

Now however, it has gotten way out of hand and I am actually being charged for more PPC visits than I am actually getting to my websites. I use 2 sites with the campaign.

Google Click Fraud Team continues to deny there is a problem. They want raw weblog files as proof.

I don't have the expertise to provide this info and I'm sure Google uses this strategy to discourage and divert "webmasters" like myself who have very limited knowledge in this area.

My question is:

Can someone provide me with a audit service who will audit my files for a percentage of the savings? I am not looking for a service to add code to my website and monitor from this poing forward.

I want an audit of past performance.

I have spent over $70,000 since 1/1/06 which is how far I'd like to go back. I'm certain there is a good amount of money to be earned by the right service.

Joybro ... if they are looking for your log files (actual transaction data on your Web server) contact whoever operates your Web server.

If you can get them however, it's hard to say how far back they will go. No sure about an audit service. Maybe someone else has info on that.

I have done this for my own use using code I wrote. However, the input to the analysis is the raw log files. One of the outputs is extracted log file records.

In my experience, they will deny there is a problem even if you have the log file records and supply excerpts in the initial contact. OTOH, the charges have not shown up on my credit card yet so the issue may be resolved.
