In an extreme attempt to inflate their numbers, adbrite, inc. Somehow managed to even out advertise Google last month. My google ad campaign has a $150 month ad cap and I did not reach it, however Adbright had a $8 per day cap and managed to max it almost every day that I had the campaign active. For a service that is extremely local in nature (I offer a rental housing listing service for a specific location). I find it very odd that they managed to get more people to click on the ad running than google did - the #1 search engine site.
Their response to me was "we're a very large company and were able to fill the ad slots". Wow. Google is large as well and they rarely hit $8 a day at almost twice the per click fee I was paying adbrite, Inc.
Not only am I flabbergasted but I'm amazed! Adbrite, Inc. Should be buying out google in my opinion.
After reading several results that came up regarding their company in similar situations using "bots" and other methods to inflate advertising numbers I felt it only right that I too mention the strong possibility that this is still going on - even 2 years later from the first complaint that I found.
I can say that as of this time all of my campaigns are halted and I will be removing my ad accounts from their company. With all those clicks, it sure would have been nice to have received some 'revenue' from them to pay for the ad campaign.
