Read a great article by a guy who was questioned as to why the company's advertising spend wasn't resulting in sales. He had the IT chops to dig in, found 77% of "clicks" were bots. He laid out his testing and results very nicely.

I am amazed that companies keep throwing money at internet advertising.
