What is this adv-adserver.com???

[NitaCharis]

Our tracking suddenly sky rocketed and the top searcher is this Adv-adserver.com link.

Can anyone explain what this is - we are unable to back track it anyone or anything specific. Is it just click spam or something?

Any help will be greatly appreciated here!
Thanks a million.

They are more than likely referrer spamming you. I did a quick Google and it appears on a lot of stats pages and a few other forums asking the same type of question.

adv-adserver.com seems a pop-under system coz I see a lot of pop run through there.

Yes, this is probably why. There are a number of networks which use a pop-under system. My feeling is that those who click the pop-unders themselves don't really get registered in GA for example. All the traffic that I get from adv-adserver.com has really low 'health indicators' -- 1 page/view, 100% bounce rate, 00:00 time on site etc.

So I guess that either this is just bogus or it's actually working - just that GA (in my case) just register that one first click but the visitors may still keep browsing via the pop-under screen.

I guess this was a question. Can anyone confirm that this is legitimate traffic? I'm trying a small campaign from endlessvisitors.com and since I noticed this behaviour in GA I thought I'd do a search and then I landed here.

adv-adserver.com is the ad server of adversal.com

If you are familiar with ineedhits.com, they use adv-adserver.com to deliver ad campaigns. It is a pop up server.

I have also signed up with iNeedhits, and it uses adv-adserver.com to deliver ad campaigns, my daily visits are now high, however they have a bounce rate of almost 100%, so they're
pretty useless.
