Click fraudsters need to remain undetected and in order to do that they must simulate genuine human visitor behavior. Click fraudsters know that the IP address, the number of pageviews and the amount of time spent on site are going to be the first things evaluated by fraud detection software. So click fraudsters develop automated tools and conduct their attacks from networks of anonymous proxy servers mimicking legitimate traffic patterns in every way they can.

Spoofing an IP address is the difficult part for fraudsters. Mike Bradley's Google Clique used a technique where the software connects to an XMTP device, not a proxy, establishes a tunnel through it and then connects to the destination IP.  The destination IP thinks the source IP is the XMTP server. Obviously Google Clique did all the other things like generate new referrers etc.etc., and for all practical purposes appeared as a random human visitor.

The last I heard Mike Bradley was out on $50k bail waiting for a trial date on wire fraud charges.
