Is AdBrite a scam?

Discussion in 'Google' started by JinAdSales, Aug 7, 2008.

    I ask this in the Google forum because I know a lot of us use it to trump Google's eCPM. I've suspected for a while (since seeing that this sketchy 'play video' ad of a hot girl in the best ad spot on my site was apparently not getting any clicks) that their reporting was not accurate. I had my brother who lives across the country click it a few times to see if it would register with them, and sure enough.. no. AdBrite is telling me I've had 1 click in the 3 weeks I've been with them, when I now know for a fact that there have been more. What's the deal?

    I got one of there scam checks for 300 bucks, they pay like clock work. I think adbrite is a good company to work with.

    Adbrite updates slow ( around 4 Hours )
    You can make better with Adbrite than Adsense.

    So... a good company that lies about clicks? Cool sounds like a company I want to work with.

    Sure if that's the logic you want to go with, go with it.

    I once received their cheques from their referral programs, and I have no problem in cashing it.

    Many people are using Adbrite ads in theirs sites and they are getting paid without any problems. I think adbrite is a legit company.

    Well the fact that they're not tracking clicks on my site and the fact that there are a couple other issues listed in the similar threads below leads me to think I'm onto something.

    whats in is using adbrite, bidvertiser or adster networks together. Atleast one ad network will pay well
