Short 0 second visits, is this a hoax?

Hi All,

 

My main advertising campiagn at present is Google adwords, i seem to be getting alot of traffic also from thos 'parked domains', u know where you type a page that doesn't exist and u get a domain listing similar stores or something, although i'm not sure how.

 

Howvever, i notice alot of vistitors basically click through and then leave? Now i haven't got any other ppc campaigns in progress, so it wouldnt be one of thos where people get paid to click but their not actually targetted vistors so leave straight away. So i was concerned as to why so many 0 second visitors, and whether people may be getting paid to click your adwords links and hence cost you money?

 

The clixks aren't excessive, but starting to cause me concern.

According to my stats 76.6% of vistors are on my site for less than 5 seconds?

 

Any suggestions? Is this normal?

 

Best Regards

 

Donna

I'd hate to think that it was click fraud (i.e. those 'parked domains' sending fake traffic through their site).

I cancelled my ppc ads after spending too much money and almost no sales, had it running for about 8 months.

Google got the money and I got the fraudulent klicks.
