I think to make $20.000 successfull by click froud is at last 10 times more difficult than to make $20.000 by creating a good site with good content.

There are to many different statistics to detect it.

Strange, test ad X has normal only 20% of the usual CTR, but at the suspicious site, test ad X has the same CTR as the other ads.
