Adbrite is cheating?

    Ok in the dashboard section it says i got 2 clicks today and thats the only place where the money are counted for each clicks but in the info & Stats tab it says i got 3 clicks today. And i removed the "your ads here" so is not possible that they click on that because i only have one ads thats displaying on my site right now. Any idea people?

    I have always found adbrite reports confusing, perhaps they do that on purpose

    Clicks and impressions are updating seperatelly (as I noticed). There were some situation, that there are 2 clicks and 0 impressions :)

    Talking about just clicks statistics, I am working with adbrite more than 3 month, but I still can't normaly figure it out. I don't think the support will help in this point. I really think they know what they are doing :) Maybe they have same purpose as publishers - more & more money :)

    If you have any cpm banners or direct ads they wont show those clicks. They are NOT cheating on you. There is a conversation abnout this going on here.

    :D

    if you don't understand something,try clicking on the question mark.:rolleyes:

    btw,it is very possible that you can get clicks on 'ads by adbrite' when there is no ad to be displayed and those will show on 'info & stats'.if you look at the click report it will show just clicks on network or direct ads.

    AdBrite reporting is very limited and confusing, I got a response from their support asking why none of the numbers match up anywhere in their system and this was the response:

    Hope that helps.

    Probably just a confusing UI.

    There's some quote: never suspect malicious intent when simple incompetence is likely the cause!
