Hi Alex,

Here's a second thought....

Even if the ad agencies were fooled by fake stats files, they'd probably figure it out in the end since (if they're any good) they'll be analyzing the click-through rates.... And they'll wonder when click-through rates from your site are way below click-through rates from other sites, which are *supposed* to have similar page-views....

So, the strategy cannot work in the long-term, and the ad agencies who are "fooled" at first will eventually probably find out, and will stay away for the future too....

Those are my thoughts anyhow!

Best to be honest and deliver what you promise.... :)
