You have to make sure you have a way to do detailed tracking on your end. Tracking at least on the level of what many TGP trade scripts show. Countries, Languages, referrers, productivity, IP addresses, all need to be there. You can set up a duplicate of your tour page with a version specifically configured to track every click. That's one way to do it anyway. Then you'll get all sorts of info and you'll be able to see better if they are sending you a bunch of Chinese visitors or hit bots.

Yes very very true, about tracking, I learned the importance of it very early upon my entrance into this game.
And yes I have tracked these hits from this recent ad, and they all appear to be hit bots, and not real clicks, but I suspected that, and thats why I purchased just to see if there was an outside chance that there was some integrity restored to the arena of ad buying.
If I am totally honest about my experiences in buying ads, or traffic, and I have tried just about everybody out there, when a broker is advertising 60% usa traffic, then you go to alexa, the same day and see 10% USa traffic, 90% vietnam traffic its like ok not only was I born at night, but It really must have been last night as well!
Then to add insult to injury, you think you are paying 4-5 cents a click, then after your campaign starts you get the....."oh well that was the price at time of purchase but click prices are subject to change without notice, therefore your price per click was 4-5 cents before your campaign was activated, now 24 hours later your price is 50 cents per click" Sorry thats just the biz...LOL
I don't know I suppose they have a right to exist and sell junk just like we have a right to exist and sell adult
