On top of this, click padding/click fraud throws the whole system off. The core
concept is based on a system that tracks, reports, and allows advertisers to
respond based on real interest. For instance, if I'm selling widgets and am
using click-thru based ads, I want to know what drives people's interest (free
offers? Product photos?), and what makes them actually click a banner, respond
to a page, then conduct a transaction (online purchase, email signup,
send-to-friend, whatever the metric).
This is why Google (and others) are so hardcore about the various forms of click
fraud. They absolutely will shut your account down, no matter how much money
it's earning for them or you if they catch you encouraging users to do it.

And it does cost money for those fake/quasi-fake clicks, especially with a
system like Google AdSense.
