Oh it's much worse than that, google's been caught fudging the numbers several times and that has led to this.

Look I hate corporations more than most of you but if Google has a stipulation in their ad contract that x% are real human eyes and then count 1px embedded ads as 'human eyes', then Google is in violation of their ad contract. On TOP of that they lied about it as well.
