Maybe someday your super sophisticated fraud detection software could be made to check and see if someone got slashdotted.
I understand this would involve knowing the content of billions of websites and figuring out which ones link to each other.
Who could possibly be expected to keep track of all that information?
So keep your pants on everyone. The scope of this problem is insurmountable especially since there are only thirty days in the month (or six) before you get paid for your clicks and impressions to discover fraud.
- bricestacey 17y agoI can't tell if your comment is sarcastic, but I imagine Google, the masters of search, keep track of all that information already. And checking major aggregate news sites is far from "super sophisticated". I wouldn't be surprised if most false-positive frauds were attributed to sudden spikes attributed to slashdot, digg, or HN.
