With most other ad companies (AdMob, Mobclix, Google, etc.) they have the more traditional approach of you only get paid for clicks. Payout per click and, with Greystripe, depends on many factors including how many ads did it show before a user clicked, cost of the ad campaign, etc. No ad company will ever go into the details of this. > What measures are in place to avoid "bots" from simulating users looking at > ads? > > Again, no ad company will divulge the details of how to trick the system. But, they do have mechanisms in place to find this and in most cases suspend your account if fraud is found. Best case is to play nice and to never, never, never, never you yourself click on ads in your own applications.
