Primarily by your computer's IP address.
Every computer has a unique ID or IP address.
Google can detect if the clicks are coming from your computer.
There are other things that can also red flag your account such as multiple clicks coming from the same IP address but not necessarily your own.

That information is kept confidential. Nobody actually knows all of the methods used to detect click-through fraud. We do know some of it is based upon one's IP and the frequency and number of clicks. Of course, there's many other factors they use too. If you use either Yahoo's Overture, Google's Adwords or MSN PPC advertising programs, it's very important to monitor your website statistics using their various analytic tools that they generally offer for free to any advertiser. This can help you to detect click-through fraud.
