Is Facebook engaged in Click Fraud?

Forbes has written an interesting report on the possibility that Facebook is engaged in some major click fraud. Eric Jackson is referencing other articles he found regarding what is basically click fraud. Companies are being charged for clicks that are not real visitors, but instead bots. In the articles, the response from Facebook is comical.

Why am I giving a Facebook such a hard time? Well, their stock was manipulated by the bankers selling it. It just seems that the valuation and power they supposedly have is all artificial. To top it all off, the Ad Revenue could potentially be fraudulent. It’s turning into a smoke and mirrors play.

The bad news in all of this is we may be experiencing the social media bubble that some have predicted.

Here are the articles referenced by Eric Jackson:
