Ive been trying AVNADS on a few different websites, and i've chosen their Interstitials option to advertise.

They deliver a vast amount of hits in a very short time span, and their visitors seem to like my sign up pages a lot.

But what I discovered is that 90% of the signups do not actually use their accounts. They result in 0 user views per account.

Then I decided to build a CODE protection where people have to enter a certain code given on an image to prove they aren?t a computer signing up. The signups dropped with 90%, and all users who did sign up, also used their account. EVERY signup that has 0 views comes from either @YAHOO or @HOTMAIL. And EVERY signup is totally lowercase. This has to be automated software at work.

I have had this on two different websites now... I personally think they have some kind of hitbot sending the hits.
Also Alexa didn?t show ANY changes when I received 75.000 extra hits per to my websites. Which is basically DOUBLE of what I have normally!

note: i have posted this same question on IQ69.com, another webmaster forum. There a lot of people have experienced similar shady results from AVN.

note 2: i have asked for an explanation from avnads on this question, but they do not write back...
