Font size:

A report by Click Forensics links a growing amount of click fraud to botnets. The increase in botnet-related activity follows an overall upsurge in click fraud in the third quarter of 2009.

New research from Click Forensics shows botnets are playing a growing role in the spread of click fraud.

Click fraud is a scheme when a person, automated script or
computer program mimicks a legitimate user clicking on an online ad in
order to profit from a pay-per-click arrangement.
