They removed that facebook page... obviously. I did read it before they took it down though. We did some testing this week, 54% of clicks are not genuine. Maybe I shouldn't say that in public, but we have all the logs if they want to challenge me on it.

Click to expand...

How do you determine when clicks are fake?

Look at you analytics, bad conversion, high bounce rate, probably JS deactivated

Of course, many customers harmed if this is true.

The greed that fb is showing recently since going public wouldn't suprise me if 9 in 10 clicks are bots. My experience with fb advertising has been disappointing to say they least...

Its big brothers version of clicking their own adsense ad's

That makes sense .. I ran a campaign for about $50 on there and I know its one that CONVERTS because its converting with organic traffic and other paid traffic sources. Facebook got me zero conversions -- now I don't know if its bots or not, but in either case, the traffic quality is very low.
