Click Fraud and The Presedential Race

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I am seeing a lot of chatter on the net about how click fraud may be used as a tool in the upcoming presedential campaign.

Internet marketing techniques will play a big part in the upcoming campaign, and the ability to deplete a candidate’s ad budget is being seen as a way to support your own candidate.

I have seen a number of Facebook groups advocating this approach, and the following story fell into my RSS reader today:

NOTE: As a UK citizen I don’t have a say in this contest, both sides are attacking each other, I have no biase one way or the other.
