Are these fraud clickings?

Jimmy Lee · 05-08-2009, 01:13 AM

I am using Affiliate Prophet for my PPC campaigns tracking.

Lately, I noticed there is a higher CTR on some of my keywords. Upon checking the data captured by AP, it seems that a lot of these clicks were referred from a source as below.

search.mywebsearch.com/mywebsearch/AJmain.jhtml?qid=582F7D5509850C92CDCC6A0747C30417& pg=AJmain&ord=2&action=click&p=AJmain&tpr=

* the portion starting from qid=xxxxxx are different among the clicks.

Also, the Search Keyword captured = ajmain

Appreciate any comments on how to tell if these are indeed fraud clickings and what is the best way to pervent them from taking place.

Many thanks in advance
Jimmy
