If a publisher was to use this to click their own ads, it would be fraudulent clicks. If they're charging on a cpc basis it would be defrauding the advertiser.

- jacquesm 11y agoAh, you mean the instance where a publisher would install this plug-in. I see, well that would be supremely dumb of such a publisher, but I don't think this plug-in is aimed at publishers to commit click-fraud. I thought you meant fraud on behalf of an ordinary user, your comment made no mention of publishers.
- jsonne 11y agoWell I mean in addition, if you work for a competitors company, if you yourself are an advertiser in any capacity etc. There's many scenarios where you could find yourself in trouble.
- Mz 11y agoSo, make sure you don't use it when viewing your own sites. Not saying I approve, but it is illegal for me to click my own ads already. At best, this is a "proviso" that should be put out, of "Hey, if you are using this AND a publisher who is also trying to make money on ads, be mindful of this issue." Though I have some trouble wrapping my brain around someone both trying to support their own work with ads while also using a product like Ad Nauseum. However, hey, serial killers also exist and I can't wrap my brain around their twisted shit either. (shrug)
