Click rate doubled - transactions gone to zero.

[Quantam Goose]

Related to the ourageous PPC raises, I have raised a lot of kwds when requested, only to find that the ctr rate has doubled along with my cost, and the business results have gone to near zero in the last 45 days. Have tried using/un-using search network, content network, etc. all to no avail. Any suggestions?

I have even created a landing page telling them to either proceed to correct business entry, or I offered a $5.00 reward (paypal)if they will send me an email identifying themselves and specifying a code to be found on that particular landing page that can only be reached via adwords.

Guess what no takers! But I got 35 CT.

Something is fishy...

from general experience search network does give better results, you are targeting searchers rather than browsers

Quantam Goose I firmly believe it is competitor click fraud. I want to know more about how Google identifies competitor click fraud and attempts to prevent it.

Perhaps AWA can shed some light. I will be asking a Adwords supervisor directly though.

I am 99% sure what you are seeing is competitor click fraud.
