Hey,

Quick question on Adwords....

I use Adwords to advertise my site.

What is to stop my competitors from simply continuously clikcing on my ads and draining my daily budget?

Anything?

Thanks in advance.

Google uses techniques (they won't say specifically) that stops that from happening. They track the IP addresses of the users who are clicking and look at other factors when determining whether a click is valid or not.

If you're concerned about click fraud, then you might want to employ the services of a click fraud company to track the data and your clicks; there are several companies that will do that for you. There are also software packages like Clicktracks that will help you identify click fraud, too.
