AdClickMedia Click Fraud Flaw

April 4, 2009

I subscribed as a publisher with AdClickMedia a few months back to publish their ads on my other blogs. And since I embedded their ads script in the far corner of my blog, the click rate is very low. AdClickMedia will also email their Daily Publisher Report which show that my other blogs produce a few hundred ads impression a day. But no ads click. No click means no money.

Everyday the report show hundreds of impression and zero click and zero revenue. This has been going on for weeks. I don't even bother to open the email also because I know it will say zero click, zero revenue. Then, yesterday AdClickMedia email me saying that my other blog was DENIED due to Click Fraud. How can there be a Click Fraud when I did not click on their ads and furthermore, the click rate is always zero.




To appeal, you are required to call their fixed line phone or furnish the detail through their Customer Support ticket page. You cannot reply to the email because it is an automated mail.

To submit a ticket to their Customer Support, you have to register with their parent company/site called MultiMediaStream hosted at msmedianetwork.com What a big hassle.

I won't bother calling the fixed line either for two reasons, I am residing outside the US and my revenue earned through AdClickMedia is very slow. No point crying over a tiny spill of milk.

As I see it, their system in detecting a Click Fraud is definitely flaw or buggy. With that, I removing their ads scripts from my other blogs and reserved that space for other better things.

    I was involved into AdClickMedia.

    I earned $70 in 3 days with interstial pages. After this they disabled ALL my websites into the account because an advertiser screamed regarding my earnings (because clicks were without conversions). Is not my problem!

    After some disscutions they told me that websites were disabled due to incorrect clicks. I have never gave an incorrect click. Never.

    They courtesy, as they said, paid me. I was lucky, but if you earn more money without conversion you are a click fraud man.

    Go back to AdSense!

    AdclickMedia is working fine for me. The Interstitial and banner ads are doing good.
