they probably have their own websites with ads on it, then use a program that clicks on their own ads, which in turn generates revenue for them

The way microsoft is losing money is that nobody is actually clicking on these ads (a program is doing it). Nobody is really getting advertised to meaning they are throwing money into the toilet. Say for example microsoft expects 10% of those people who click on the ad to purchase a product from them which they would profit from. In this situation, no actual humans are clicking on those ads making them simply throw money away in ineffective advertising.

distributed computing systems with automated scripts.. they have a website with ad's on it.. and a clicker script...
hence... diff IP's clicking on ad's make it seem like it's working.. but microsoft found out they're paying advertising for nothing...
o btw.. whoever said All-Advantage.... FTW!!! lol

you have any idea how many gordon lams exist on facebook? hahah.. i seriously doubt he spent the time to narrow down the photos to this ONE guy. there are probably tons of gordon lams in richmond alone.
