Hmm, you lost me here. How does the cache busting by the content site affect the counting of ads sent by the ad network site? >I can't see network sites trusting the content sites to report accurate >impression counts, Then we have a different opinion. I can easily see this level of trust happening. Anyway, I think that the value of ad rotation and user profiling is vastly overrated. Of course, it is in the best interest of ad networks to overrate the added value of these things: they are currently the ones who get paid for adding this value. >Rob Hartill Internet Movie Database (Ltd) Koen.
