Q: How are my impressions calculated?
A: If a user goes to your web page where one of our banners are displayed, you will be credited for that impression. If that user refreshes the page constantly, you will not be given credit for those impressions being refreshed. If that user skips back and forth through your pages very quickly then of course our ads are not being seen and thus you will not get credit for those impressions. We have arrived at a formula that takes into account fraud, user refreshes and other factors to determine what qualifies as a valid user impression. It is private of course to prevent publishers from fraudulently elevating their impression levels. This procedure is NECESSARY for the protection of our advertisers and our credibility. For example, in the month of February there was a publisher that had banners refreshing into the millions per week. Their web page traffic was no more than 500 users per week. They have since been removed and charged.
