ADOTAS – Click fraud is not a new threat to advertisers, but it’s proliferated enough that the industry is circling the wagons. eBay, in particular, is fortifying the defenses.
To prove it’s in tip-top shape, ebay’s AdCommerce platform — which offers sellers the option of buying pay-per-click ads on eBay.com or a partner site — received the equivalent of a physical from ImServices Group.

Pulse 360 became the first ad network to pass the IAB’s rigorous standards last week — clean clicks are what all the kids are into these days.
