Hey Guys, I purchased some major traffic recently, my stats to a new site I was launching just didn't add up : 11000 uniques : 92% left within 30 seconds. 10800 only visited one page OK so seems like a proxy hit or similar. So I examined this guys site, where my ad's should be, took me 5 minutes of looking at the page and then I found the ad's : Now ad's should have Text, Description and an image, this shifty bugger had the text within a very dark page border, just the title text, some how he stripped away the description and images and then placed what was left into the dark background. So he was still being registered as having code and in turn his Alexa, Page Views etc. were all measured and very impressive, to top it off this bugger held the number one spot on the ad' network - right on top of everyone else. Really pi55ed me off, 3 days down the drain in a large advertising campaign. So I have reported him to the network and demanded a refund - what else should I be entitled to ? I reckon there should be a reward and some compensation for my wasted time. I guess the bugger will now loose his earnings for the month and face a ban, that doesn't help me though or anyone else he ripped off. I wont go revealing him or where the ad network is because, he may come and hunt me down LoL. Grrrrr Jason
He got what he deserved. It's only a matter of time before a rip off artist gets caught and loses it all. But I wouldn't hold your breathe on the Award you should get. It's almost certian you'll get your refund and be brushed under the carpet.
Nah I wont be rewarded, but this scum bag is number one on a list out of about 60 000 publishers - because of his sites performance and rating of the ad' spot - it's BS a system can be so easily cheated and exploited. Even worse that such a large company doesn't notice it, kind of makes me think twice about using them again - especially when they stress that they have HIGH fraud protection and sh1t hot team of investigators to investigate click fraud.
