Does anyone have any information on which countries most of the invalid clicks come from?

I'm just wondering that if they are significantly coming from a specific country that I could just stop the ads for that country.

If there isnt such information, I'm thinking maybe running separate campaigns for different countries as to gather some data on this.

you could argue that poorer countries might be more likely to commit click fraud. Quite a number of places for instance prefer not to deal with nigeria.

I don't know if it's fair to publicly debate the click fraud reputation of an entire country. Webmasterworld is home to honest and hardworking people from all over the world. It would be a shame to insult those people just because other people from their country don't operate legit. Best advice would be to try seperate campaigns per country and draw your own conclusions. Perhaps there are other indicators for click fraud too, like the niches you're in.
