If you don't log ip address, time, and referring URL for every single click of paid traffic you need to go back to being an employee. There is fraudulent traffic on Adbrite, there is fraudulent traffic on Yahoo, and nearly every other company I have purchased from. All data must be logged and questionable clicks must be forwarded to the provider for a refund. Most credible companies will credit your account within a few days.
So is AVNAds and Adbrite sending fake traffic? You bet. Traffic fraud is a massive problem across every ad network, the only company I've never had problems with is Google. But that doesn't mean you can't get a refund. The top tier networks are very much interested in clearing the scammers out of their systems.
