Comment on Discovered: Botnet Costing Display Advertisers over $6,000,000 per Monthparent

Comments

There is no guarantee against this, which is part of what keeps web advertising prices low. Fraud is essentially priced into the product. The title is misleading, as it assumes all cost is bared by the advertisers. In truth part of the cost is implicitly payed for by legitimate website owners/the ad network who must price impressions lower to offset this kind of fraud
