How many of you actually experienced click fraud that severely affected your campaigns? How were you able to detect it? Were you able to report it and receive a refund?

Let's make this thread about all the ways to detect, report, and survive click fraud.

I'm sure that the click fraud you are speaking of does occur, but I think where it occurs most often is groups of people intentionally clicking ads to get paid. Basically they are doing it to earn money for other people, giving no leads in return to the advertiser.

the real problem is not click fraud but 2000 different ad networks each hiring some guy to sit there and click on fucking ads all day

shit pissed me off so bad.

I have a huge ban list of IP's if anyone wants them (from networks clicking ads)

Will, I'll take a look at em if you'll give em out, mind PMing me them?

 

[Mike90]

Will may I have them as well?

 

[DonDadda]

Yeah it can be a problem. I had a problem with YSM but they refunded me all my money back. They seem pretty vigilant about that stuff.

Toss them this way Big Will

Out of curiosity, why would a network want to click your ad?

To call you sell their crappy non exclusive low paying offers. To check your ads. To copy your campaigns. The list goes on and on.

BigWill,

I'd love those IPs please.

Cheers

 

[AdHustler]

if you could hook me up with those IP's it would also be appreciated

 

[acemenace]

Bigwill - can you send them my way please. Thanks.

 

[Jardini]

BigWill -

How were you able to determine those are IPs from the ad network?

Can I get a copy of the IPs too please ~~

 

[jelf]

Same haha

 

[Kyle]

Yeah IP list here too please Will.

 

[redmonkey]

Let me have it as well. Why don't you post it somewhere and let us download it, instead of PMing ppl?

 

[inspire187]

Yeah this looks like a DP thread with all the "send it here" bullshit.

 

[BrandontheGreat]

Right hurr, Will

 

[circa]

Can I get a review copy?

BigWill, I'd appreciate a copy of that list, as well. Thanks!
