Re: Illegal Click Fraud: Google Adsense Clicks being Sold Openly on US eBay site
Searching by description reveals several more boinkheads on eBay who are offering their Adsense fraud services to the highest bidder. :
![]() eBay should ban every one of these sellers. If it doesn't it is in effect condoning illegal activities on its site. In light of the legal pressure Google is currently under from AdWords advertisers who are concerned about click fraud, I would expect Google's legal department to take action against the sale of AdSense clicks on eBay. |

The eBay problem is minor compared to some websites that sell the same services in Eastern Europe and India.
Check out "click monkeys dot com" (I refuse to link to them). Click on their rates, specials, and about us pages.

Illegal Click Fraud: Google CEO's Solution "Let it Happen"
[quote author=landofsmiles link=topic=4368.msg17460#msg17460 date=1152632400]
You just did your good deed for the day, BBH. That's a public service. ![]() [/quote] Too bad eBay or Google don't do their good deeds for the advertisers who buy AdWords and are getting ripped off. The latest estimate is advertisers lost $800 million due to fraudulent clicks last year. Google CEO's Eric Schmidt thinks the best solution is to "let it happen" Google CEO Wrote:Eventually, the price that the advertiser is willing to pay for the conversion will decline, because the advertiser will realize that these are bad clicks, in other words, the value of the ad declines, so over some amount of time, the system is in-fact, self-correcting. In fact, there is a perfect economic solution which is to let it happen. full article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/micro-markets/index.php?p=219 |
