Click fraud or pay-per-click fraud is the fraudulent practice of generating fake or artificial clicks on online advertisements. It involves intentionally clicking on ads to inflate the number of clicks or impressions, thereby generating illegitimate revenue for the perpetrator or increasing the visibility and ranking of their advertisement.

Click fraud may be committed by individuals or robotic software programs, or "bots." There are various reasons for click fraud. Competitors may occasionally commit click fraud to deplete a rival company's advertising budget or to boost their exposure. Publishers or website owners may also engage in click fraud by exaggerating the number of clicks or impressions on their site to increase ad revenue.
