    AVNADS Sending Fake Hits/Signups???

    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...

                      This info was posted in a different thread.

                      Other thread

                      Are you the guy the other thread was referring to? Besides, it shouldn't be a shock that most bought traffic is fake or crap.

                                          Here is my reply to your email.

                                          Jeroen,



                                          Thanks for the quick reply.



                                          That was a pretty scathing post to post before contacting support.



                                          Looking at what you have written there are some pretty glaring issues…



                                          #1 Our tracking is based on a pixel that YOU place on a page YOU consider to be a conversion, often advertisers place that on to many pages and get extra conversions.



                                          #2 Adding a security code OFTEN decreases the number of signups, especially if it isn’t tested properly. I have run into CAPCHA’s that I cannot get past. Please look into the CAPTCHA in more details.



                                          #3 Use some more substantial data than “less signups” Do you have analytics in place to see what IP’s they originate from, how long are people on your site etc…



                                          This is in no way enough date to issue a refund, and please contact me directly in the future before posting something like this on the boards!



                                          Thank you,

                                                  One thing that you should know, is that if you bought 75,000 Interstitial ads, you bought 75,000 VIEWS on your ad. Not 75k clicks. That's probably why you didn't see a change in Alexa.

                                                  I'm just a newbie.
