Hi i am contemplating using adlogger. I have been told not to though. What are the benefits and the negatives? Please inform me thanks.
Well it was to help prevent click fraud. It would record all the clicks and impressions. It's been proven to be inaccurate though so there really is no point in using it.
lol Did you read what I just put? There's no point in using it on your site. If you still want to though, go here: http://www.instantinternetstartups.com/adlogger/AdLogger-install.zip
I've been wondering why people are still using AdLogger and recommending it to others as well. The creator on http://www.adlogger.org/ clearly states the software in its current state is inaccurate and useless. What is the reason for people to still use it if it doesn't work properly? Will it still prevent click fraud properly? I heard it wont detect clicks from IE properly (over 70% of all internetters :/), if so it is indeed useless. Any other script to avoid click fraud in a proper way?
Jerlene; you're apparently invisible .. It's true - Adlogger is gone, because according to the guy that created it, it's not accurate enough to be useful. The author recommends using ClickAider - but i have not tried it. I use a script called BadBehavior. It wont track clicks, but it will help prevent automated click-bombs..
One of the purposes of these kind of scripts are to actually not get you banned (clickfraud protection). As long as they comply to Google's policy there is no problem.
