Adengage reports that they serve about 15 BILLION ads a month. If only 5% of those result in clicks we are talking about 750,000,000 clicks and if only 1% are from these deceptive methods (my research shows 90%, but let's be conservative) we are talking about 7.5 million bad clicks. That comes out to just under $500k a month in potential advertiser dollars down the tubes.

I think that the possibility of advertisers losing that much money warrants concern, don't you?
