Noticed some pretty bad complaints from customers on Techcrunch seemingly alleging click (or in this case play) fraud. Do you have anything yet in place to prevent play-fraud?
"Tried running some videos with Virool. Couple of things I didn't expect:
1. Even with very precise targeting, my entire $100 ad budget was eaten up right away. We're talking seconds - minutes.
2. I was charged for views after just a few seconds of starting the campaign, even though the video is several minutes long. Clearly they are not restricting charging to actual completed views. "
- arbuge 14y agoGood point. Google's reputation in part is based on the exhaustive mechanisms they have in place to combat click fraud and assure advertisers they're getting billed for quality. I remember once bringing their wrath down on me because of accidentally clicking on one of my own AdSense ads. Took me 9 months of grovelling to get my AdSense account unsuspended after that.
