partnership with &lt;a href="http://www.adwatcher.com"&gt;AdWatcher&lt;/a&gt;, a 3rd party 
service for tracking online ad campaigns. Advertisers in the ABCSearch network 
receive feedback on the quality and conversion of the traffic to their sites. 
Adwatcher will monitor traffic quality for the ABCSearch network in an effort to 
improve campaign conversion rates and provide greater transparency. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As click fraud continues to remain a concern for advertisers at networks large 
and small, ABCSearch should be lauded for taking the issue seriously just as 
Yahoo should for partnering with Click Forensics. What is most interesting about 
these two developments, is that both AdWatcher and ClickForensics (in addition 
to ClickFacts) were called out by Google for &lt;b&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2006/08/08/google_blasts_click_fraud_estimates.aspx"&gt;
inflating click fraud numbers back in August of 2006&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, claiming these 
enterprises independent studies are &amp;quot;either based on guesswork or they are 
tracking too many fictitious clicks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
