I'm not sure I understand. Is it -
They create a crappy site with blog spam.
Pay someone else to get people to visit.
Then the people who have been directed to the site by someone else click on their ads, which = $
But they just found out the people who visit are really bots.
But currently everyone is getting paid. So the only loser is the advertisers at this stage.
------------------
> 8M * $0.80 CPM = $6400 revenue
> 8M * $0.25 CPM = $2000 expenses
> Profit = $4400?
> i_am_rich_AF : yes this is per site per month
- CodesInChaos 6y ago> the only loser is the advertisers In the short run yes. In the long run the cost per ad view/click drops and legitimate sites suffer from reduced ad revenue.
- krageon 6y agoIn that case everyone wins, because they'll be positively stimulated to not be funded by ads.
