The article describes how click fraud works:
Web sites practice click fraud by showing ads, soliciting fraudulent clicks on those ads, receiving payments from advertisers for the clicks, and then kicking some money back to the clickers.
Paul Pellman, the chief executive of Click Forensics, attributes the rise to the increased use of botnets.
