Is Bing Selling Fake Clicks?

[Lunareclipse]

No, read more carefully.

If you send bot clicks to drive up ad costs for your competitors, where google/bing/fb or whoever is making money, they'll let it slide and give advertisers a hard time about getting a refund.

If you send bot clicks to adsense or the bing equivalent hoping to benefit yourself, they'll move to shut you down quickly.

Gotcha

So let's say I send bot clicks to bing they'll pay me and not ban my account?

That's correct and is an open secret in the ppc industry

Bing don't even check if you're using selenium

Most click fraud is from website owners who use bots to click on their ads

so sad, we cannot do anything to prevent it

if you detect the fake clicks you can then block the websites sending you the fake clicks

so let's imagine scam.com is click on your ads

if you detect the fake click, you then know scam.com is a click fraud website

within bing ads you can ban this website from showing your ad

that's about the best you can do

What about websites like Trafficarmor? Can't help?

that's based on IP address blocking which doesn't work

if you're going to use a tool, ignore any based on ip address blocking and instead use one of the real click fraud blocking companies like human security and polygraph

Why not to reverse it to your own benefit?

1. Run ads on your website
2. Build a bot farm
3. Collect cash

some ppl do it. if youre running ppc and got new competitor, set up campaign to drain their daily budget with fraud clicks.
you won't get cash directly but you take away the opportunity of other people getting your traffic.

Maybe there is some misunderstanding here. I am talking about running (for example) display ads on YOUR OWN website and then direct bot traffic to it. Ads will be shown to the bot and you will be paid for it.

I think that with intelligent bot and right funnel you can earn yourself in such way.

Note: Please don’t get me wrong but this is black hat forum and I would like to hear BH approach to this matter. Also, I don’t want to go into details here but just start hypothetical conversation and possibilities of such approach.

its possible. you can 100% find threads outlining that method here.
personally i don't think there's much $ made there.
what's adf1y pay....$5 per 1k hits. likely have anti-fraud detection there too to contend with. or your payment halted while they "investigate your traffic".
send 1k hits to a regular cpa offer you can get that same $5 with 1 or 2 email submits.

That‘s what i was talking about. It is probably possible but one must count on other stuff like network’s bot detection, add some twist, run multiple funnels/approaches, invest into proxies/VPSs, etc.

How much one can earn from it is just another topic.

I know of one person making millions per month doing click fraud.

Literally sends bots to his website to click on the ads thousands of times per day.

This is on bing ads and they don't care.

It's illegal though.

This is a fascinating read: https://polygraph.net/articles/the-anatomy-of-a-click-fraud-gang.html

[strontium]

What kind of bot? Is he using proxies?

Even the small networks see it but they are not doing this is really surprising
