No doubt statcounter is one of the best and free tool to counter clickfraud. I have been using their service since 2002. Havent tested google analytics yet, but will do so.

StatCounter is definitely my favorite to use along side Google Analytics. Google Analytics seems to break down massive amounts of visitors better than the free Stat Counter. BUT, when used together, you get the mass breakdown of data from GA, and a PER VISIT BREAKDOWN from StatCounter. That way you get the macro and the micro. StatCounter has a pay version too, which I’m sure is also really awesome.

i never thought that such a tool exists for free. even if i had to pay it, i would pay. it’ a fantastic realtime service. i just love it. and it beats up google analitics, which is not realtime. shame …

Statcounter is the best free tool available! Thank you so much for Statcounter.

We are using it now for one year.

Identify IP from unwanted visitors is easy and useful to add them to our IP deny manager
Also one of many reasons we keep statcounter in our site is it does not make it slow to load the page

Only one thing we couldn’t figure out: What is this about the 0 Second visitors?

@DFAL –

Yes, Google is under legal responsibility to refund click fraud charges. It is part of the agreement they make with their AdWords Advertisers. They even give tools to request credit for questionable clicks.

When I looked into PPC advertising, the minimum cost for me was $0.10 per click. The cost could add up very quickly from click fraud. It was nice that Google agreed to refund the cost incurred as a result of the click fraud. I don’t think they are under any legal responsibility to do so, though, are they?

By way of an update to Neil’s original post, click fraud was confirmed by Google and they responded positively and promptly with a refund for our client in addition to those clicks that their own systems had detected.
