The question is not whether or not you have bad traffic here and there. You do. The question is "Are you one of the assholes that will let a lot of it slide at advertisers expense so you can make money".
I just audited my accounts and see i've bought just over $475,000.00 USD worth of RON traffic from Jay/JuicyAds and have historical data on 70% of sites that have ever ran ads there - and that helps me find them in other networks like exoclick.
I noticed early that not all ad networks are not so active in banning blatant cheaters and that usually, the worst offenders find long term homes. At least Jay refunds immediately and bans them from juicy ads. There are VERY few others that can say the same.
And here is a timeless truth about traffic.
Bad traffic is easy to find and hard to sell.
Good traffic is hard to get because it's already bought.
No one with good quality traffic needs to go to a message board to sell it.

All true - I never said it wasn't. Bot traffic exists everywhere - the secret is to find those sources that quickly shut down bot accounts. We do that, and we refund advertisers that got bot traffic. That's just smart, long term business strategy.
My original post was more directed as some people who think that ALL adnetwork traffic is bots. It was starting to piss me off.
