I found Google clicked our AD and charged us for that.

I was very upset when I found this. I hope there is some misunderstanding for this issue, since Google is a big famous company and I am none.

--------------------------------------------------------

Our AD link is a budurl link, so we can see the IP address from where people click our AD.

I started to use budurl link as AD link on Tuesday Oct 13.

On oct 13, on budurl, I found several IP address clicked that link, one is from us (I clicked on Google Adwords editing flatform), all other IP are

74.125.46.80
64.233.172.17
64.233.172.17
64.233.172.17
64.233.172.17
64.233.172.17
72.14.199.80

ALL ARE FROM GOOGLE

And on that day, Google Adwords charged us for TWO CLICKS, budurl showed all clicks except one test from us were from GOOGLE.

Since Goodle Adwords say the two clicks are from total content (which I have no idea what it is), I decided to wait for another a few days before I came to a conclusion.
---------------------------------------------------------
On Oct 14, budurl does not get any click. Google Adwords charged us for one click, and this click was from "Total Content".
-----------------------------------------------------
On Oct 15, budurl shows 5 clicks.
72.14.199.80
66.249.71.147
64.233.172.17
64.233.172.17
64.233.172.17
ALL ARE FROM GOOGLE

Google Adwords charged us for two clicks. One is from "Total Search", another is from "Total Content".

-----------------------------------------------------

Who can explain this for me? Should I stop using Google Adwords?

Are you sure you are recording the IP of the person who clicked? It sounds like you are recording the IP of the page in which the ad appeared.... like a google search page with ads on it.

Sounds interesting, probably that is the problem.

But If I post a budurl on Twitter, it tracks the IP from different people, not shows Twitter's IP.
