OK dude. So yesterday I received 35 clicks via a dodgy adsense website. Each visit was labelled as 0 seconds. So these do not count and Google wont charge me for?

Prince – the content network is far more likely to give you these types of problems compared to search advertising, (see “click fraud: anecdotes from the front line” on the googlebusiness youtube channel). If you must use the content network I’d suggest moving to a CPA model, that way you’ll only pay for actual results from the content network.

if he doesn’t work for google, he has a few of his own made-for-ads sites and is profiting from arbitrage himself. oh, and it’s UH-BOWT, not uh-boot.

This guy is 100% on the money.
There is a big difference between invalid clicks and click fraud, which is a problem because the industry cannot understand this.
Click fraud makes up less than a percentage of all clicks. Invalid clicks are automatically filtered out by Google and Yahoo.
Don’t believe companies like Clickforensics or other third-party auditing firms. They are strictly based on invalid clicks which is not fraud.
