Gym Jordan has been begging for cash on Yahoo lately. I've clicked on that slime ball's link over two hundred times. I was watching football yesterday. Had my tablet in my hand and clicked on Gym's ad dozens of times during every commercial.

Has been running tv ads here in central Ohio. Can’t stand to see his ugly ignorant face or hear that grating voice of his. Why is he not in jail for aiding and abetting sexual abuse at Ohio state? I’m hoping that his opponent is doing well-maybe that’s why the ads? I hope he loses. I hope he’s humiliated. He deserves that and so much more.

It also screws with their data mining.

FYI: from the same IP address once every 24hrs works

A VPN creates a private network from a public internet connection. It masks your IP address and creates encrypted connections--essentially making your internet activity much more private and secure.

Unless you are grabbing unique VPN IPs on each connect, spoof your machine CPU ID & OS and purge cookies, you're only going to be counted once per ad campaign per day. This prevents people from running up the clock and draining out someone's ad budget.

So, if you hit a yahoo ad, a Facebook ad, a Google ad, etc., they should all be treated as separate clicks.

If you click on 10 Google ads that are part of the same campaign bucket, it will resolve to just one per home/workstation.
