some questions I asked my traffic source salesman

[schleprock]

I was hoping you guys could tell me about this too.
Here are the questions I asked on Skype:

I blocked my campaign because I had 233 clicks and the Google Analytics says that the average person stayed on the page 00:00:15 seconds. My page loads in just under 1 second, so they could not have even seen the page. Is there a way to block traffic sources so I can get some real traffic. 34 dollars for this traffic is not a good idea for me​

then I added:

So 233 clicks and Google only says 139 visitors is something I would like explained to.​

here is my source data:

Yup, you need to block these sources/zones that's the whole idea of paid traffic; optimizing by removing the bad zones. That's also why you need quite a big budget until you can make a profit, because you have to:
Buy Traffic > Optimize > Buy Traffic > Optimize > Buy Traffic > Optimize etc etc etc.
Inorder to find out what zones/sources aren't working out for you, you need to use a tracker. You can find plenty of them on the forum, however if you do not have the funds to go for a tracker, you can also use the dashboard of the affiliate network that you're already working with.
Just send the zone_id or source_id from your traffic source to S2,S3,S4,S5,S6 etc on your affiliate network, then you'll see in the statistics if they've converted or not.

70K impressions? banners or native ads?
Seems a lot of over-priced junk or fraud clicks.

The MGID guy just said it was some bad widget placements and standard blacklisting was needed. I asked him if that is something I needed to do or if he already did it.
I did not see how to do it from my dashboard but. I am new, so it may well be there and I am just not smart enough to know it.

So why doesn't this add up?
Legitimate question ...
I have server logs and statistics proving the same thing schleprock is saying -- the numbers don't add up.
Assuming your server is fast to adequate -- ?
