Searching Clicker v Click Bomber

I don't suppose we shall ever know the answer to this but how much/many determines too many clicks?

Once again yesterday I saw USD 10+ deducted because a US visitor was determined invalid. So how does Google "know" they were invalid? Simply because one visitor clicked on every ad? Does that make 10 clicks invalid especially when I can see which site and pages they've been on and from which IP they've come?

To me that's not click bombing, that could be a genuine visitor, maybe, just maybe they're searching for a supplier in their area and all the ads were way out of their region...no wonder my earnings are down.

I expect they have patterns they look for. I think ten clicks for one user would be pretty much stretching it. (Why aren't you selling those suppliers direct advertising?)

I haven't a clue who those advertisers are, they're in the US and I'm in the UK.

I agree 10 clicks are quite a few for one user however if they were searching for something local and all the ads were not then it's easy to see how it could happen.
