That's it... all of the sudden you get a shitload of traffic that doesn't convert.

Experienced the same thing with Kanoodle during 2 weeks, when they added their Content Network 2 months ago. Went from $2/day to $50/day... I contacted them in first place because I though it was hitbot traffic. They gave me a full refund of $900.00

I don't understand why they must play around with their advertisers. Without us, they would not do any money and so all those Adsense users with their garbage traffic. I hope this trend ends soon.

This is like paying $1 per CPM for a banner spot on an adult site and the owner add your banner in another spot at the bottom of an archive page without telling you... then charge you a few thousands more for his "great" extra traffic. Very unprofessional.
