I've noticed a growing number of companies that sell scripts that will supposedly prevent click fraud, but are those scripts really necessary?

As a publisher, I reduce the risk of people 'click bombing' me by limiting ads to only appearing to specific countries, and preventing a user from seeing an ad again after they have clicked it once.

As an advertiser, I limit my daily budget strictly, so that if someone does fraudulently click my ads, the amount lost is low. I also carefully track the statistics of places I have purchased advertising from. So far, I've only had a few problems and they've been nipped in the bud quite quickly.

Does anyone else have any strategies / precautions they can recommend?

Dont use such scripts. Try logging tools which your hosting company provides or go for subscriptions. They are more effective than these scripts.

These scrits are fine if they are from trusted source. They only track the users coming to your site nothing fishy they do.

Sometimes your competitors clickbomb you to get your account into trouble. Thats why it is wise idea to use AdLogger if you are adsense publisher. It will monitor the invalid clicks for you.

I think these scripts are good for nothing if they are taken from any stranger source . I recommend you to avail these from a well known source only.
