POST (Pay-Per-Click Spam)

POST (Pay-Per-Click Spam) refers to the practice of intentionally creating fake or misleading online ads designed to appear legitimate, with the goal of tricking users into clicking. Advertisers involved in POST often generate these ads to generate revenue through pay-per-click models, where they earn money each time someone clicks on the ad. This spam can help malicious actors increase their page views, profit, or manipulate advertising metrics, often at the expense of users who encounter irrelevant or deceptive ads. The practice undermines the credibility of online advertising and can lead to wasted resources for legitimate advertisers.
