I completely agree. I wouldn't do it though, unless someone tried to click my ads repeatedly. :|

Definitely not worth my time.

She already got all the money. Chances are she doesn't have her own site and if she does she wouldn't be dumb enough to use the same IP.

I read that there are actually Indian companies which offer these types of services and they have special ways of clicking on your ads so that the clicks appear to be coming from different IP addresses and networks.
