Hi guys
I was just wondering about so called
"click fraud" on the iPhone
What's stopping people from clicking adds showing on their own app off of a friends iPhone in order to generate revenue?

Nothing...

Just like any other click-to-pay ad service, there is a large amount of algorithms to detect this type of behaviors, you can always slip a few "Fake" clicks but after a while the system will catch up.

Thanks, I thought as much

Clicks should also originate from unique IP addresses. Click fraud can also come from IP rotators using proxies, but it's much more difficult to detect.
