An invalid click is when you

1. When you click knowingly on Adsense ads on your website or blog
2. When you click on a ad by accident
3. When you use illegal software to click automtically on your ads

[web67]

invalid clicks are those which are out of the way of normal click sequence

[clearwriter]

All clicks that are done just for the purpose of increasing hits and earning some profit, only are invalid or illegal.

The list is long,

Like clicking your own ads, like google ads.
Asking your friends to click on your ads.
hiring some company to click ...................

I think its clear.

Thanks.

Very first i would like to tell you that the ppc is when you get paid if the link is clicked by someone.. And if you yourself click that again and again to get paid then that is considered as invalid clicks. And there are some sites which can track from which IP the ad has been clicked and all sought of details. For example google analytics and statcounter.
You can register and check there..

Clicks from different proxies are invalid at all. Install some site analytical tools to your site and that way you can identify them, block that list.
