As an advertiser on Facebook, I can attest to the fact that Facebook's recent increase in click fraud has become UNBEARABLE.<p>What started with 1-2% of clicks being fraudulent, has progressed to some ad campaigns recieving 10 real clicks to 90 fake clicks.<p>And this is over 10,000s of clicks.<p>FUCK Facebook because they do nothing about it, simply providing a boilerplate email.<p>EVEN an IP exclusion tool would help, but Facebook doesn't have that.<p>But what the fuck do you expect? They treat their customers like shit. They have "Ad reps" on their platform who serve only one purpose: to increase your daily budget on their platform. Ask them anything else and they are totally fucking clueless.<p>Also, apologies for the recurring vulgarity but this has been an issue for me for the past month. It's money.
Once again, history repeats itself. Facebook users fell for it. Facebook advertisers fell for it. Facebook investors fell for it...<p>It's a terrible situation for everyone involved. It's the great lie of the internet. MySpace laid off 30%. Seriously, why does anyone think Facebook is immune?<p>It doesn't work people. It just doesn't work.
Is it possible that it's not fraud, but instead users accidentally clicking advertisements (which then register on facebook's end) but the user quickly realized their mistake and closes the browser (so it doesn't get registered on the owner's end)?
