A huge portion of the web advertising eco-system is based on fraud, according to Spider.io, a company that analyzes web traffic. The company tells AdExchanger that it has detected a massive botnet — a network of computers controlled by malware — that drives bogus traffic and clicks to a group of about 202 web sites:
The team at web traffic analytics site spider.io released a cool diagram that sheds light on the mostly invisible (and illegal) world of hidden display ad exchanges.

This boosts impressions (number of times legit ads are served) without humans ever even seeing the ads.

Increased investment within the online display space in particular has had a significant impact on the overall growth in this spend, not least because of the exciting innovations emerging within the industry – including the roll-out of new advertising formats from the Internet Advertising Bureau, in a bid to advance the sector’s mobile capabilities.

Steve Hassett submits:Advertisers are not seeking impressions as much as the opportunity to get a slice of audience time to communicate their message. Resolving the inefficiency of paying per impression while seeking time would provide upside to premium online publishers.
