Actually, one of you code warriors simply needs to write a program that does that automatically. We simply enter the website addy in a large list of “good” sites, and the bot auto-selects ads to up the click-through and dwell, then drops out and moves to the next site on the list.

That isn't a good thing. The advertisers are paying to try to get real hits. Advertising helps to keep the internet flowing (at least it pays for good, fresh content and development). It is very capitalistic. 😊 When people spam ad clicks or over abuse the format in other ways, it diminishes the process and hurts the long term model. I believe in supporting sites that I like by visiting their sponsors when I have time. Sometimes I find things I really like. I also respect the sponsors by not clicking on ads that I really am not interested in. Just my 2 cents
