It's all about organic. Not to sound one sided as an SEO, it' just makes more sense to develop content that is closer to home (as far as relevance) and you just don't see a site about automobiles ranking for fashion design. Organic SEO by it's very fabric forces relevance from the core of the content. Higher click through traffic and higher relevance equal higher natural conversion. Loren:

As for me, that's from where I got most of it at this moment. They are not using anything fancy yet, just playing with IP's. Easy to hunt. Maybe in 2010 we will see Italy as well, it's growing at this moment. Not yet noticable, but they are doing something more fancy. Russians got really good tools for click fraud, hard to hunt if you are not very well experienced. Chinese and USA "webmasters" loves to use hidden iframe codes, so once user visits site, "he/she clicks" on add without knowing that. Funny that click fraud is isn't well controlled and sad that advertisers, especially new ones are losing their hard earned money...

This may be the only way to stem the tide. It is just going to get worse. PayPerImpression for those who just do not want to take a chance.
