Adbrite Click Fraud Scamming Webmasters.. again!
It never fails — Adbrite’s click fraud continues to find new and innovative ways to scam publishers out of their hard earned money. Adbrite is overflowwing with click fraud and they don’t seem to even care to do anything about it. For example, on my campaign, I find that the vast majority of my clicks come from adbrite fraud sites that have sent me less then 10 impressions — and in fact — some say they have shown my ad TWICE and clicked on it up to 7 times!
What is Adbrite’s scam policy on this? Too bad, so sad, love dad. They won’t even return emails. I have been doing business with them for YEARS and have sent them at least a HUNDRED referrals and then they go and pull something like this. Its clearly adbrite click fraud at its best when 80% of the traffic is coming from sites that have only shown the text ad and handful of times and already getting clicks. The better sites with decent reputation are sending up to 5,000 impressions before getting a hit — ‘business as usual results’.
So to all webmasters out there thinking about using Adbrite — take into consideration what the rest of us have learned — adbrite click fraud is all over Adbrite and expect to be pruning your campaigns for weeks or longer before getting some of it out. I would suggest only buying ads from known sites and never using their network wide ads or otherwise be prepared for more Adbrite fraud visitors.

One day with Adbrite was enough to convine me of massive fraud, CTRs at one hundred times the rate of yahoo or google! Give me a break – this is insitutionalized fraud.
