If the definition is being skewed by the proponents of a certain phrase my sensors go up. So look up the definition of the word fraud and you will realize the fraud is being perpetrated by the people claiming "click fraud" By the way we are running lots of Pay Per Click ads right now since it is the back to school season and students are busy buying lots of textbooks through our site <a href="http://www.directtextbook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.directtextbook.com</a> I am happy to report the ads are doing great.

I know quite a few people who refrain from clicking on text ads and instead click on search results, so (oh, the absurdity) that they won't cost the advertising company money because they clicked on their ad. I, on the other hand, prefer to click on the ads because in many cases clicking on the ads brings you price discounts (GoDaddy.com is such an example). You’re right – a lot of people do this.
