I spent some time on this topic 3-4 years ago with a startup and with one of the big three SEs and concluded that the ad networks are perfectly happy with the status quo and want nothing to do with anti-CF solution providers. If you search only for posts from 2004 you will notice the same three or four company heads who were clamouring for attention, month after month. I think they have all moved on to pursue something more lucrative, or have given up looking for free publicity.

Like MB hinted, watch out for the next buzz about click fraud in the usual newsletters -- it will have originated from one of these solution peddlers.
