if one where to look at it this way they would probably be violating tos for automating scrolling ala clickfarms, also the ads being served and impressions counted when its bots is probably also a problem.


Who, AdObserver? I thought they wanted real data from non-robots, Thats why they went through so much trouble to have the browser extension.
