Hi all,

Ive been running banners for other sites quite a bit lately and am finding it to be a very nice source of revenue. I make sure that every advertiser gets a page that will give them clicks, if it does not get clicks, I do not charge. I feel I have built a good reputation in this respect but feel that I am not getting treated the same. Recently I purchased 6000 impressions but did not get a single click, and I had a very nice and catchy targeted banner. Now we have all seen these sites that will give you X amount of hits for X amount of dollars. Well I tried them once and found it to be a complete waste of money as the visits lasted less than three seconds. A new fear has come into play. What if a webmaster buys bulk untargeted traffic and sends it to a page where my banner is advertising? My banner stats show 6000 views, but I got no clicks. I think this is terrible and I can only hope this is not happening. Has anyone had any experiences with this? What can I do to make sure the traffic is not "fake"?

Thanks in advance,

Eric
