Fraud is only a problem for advertisements based on CPM/CPC. Time-based advertisements (pay X to have your ad displayed here for Y time) tracked by overall purchases (using an unique link) don't have a "fraud" problem given that the only way to boost the ad's effectiveness is to literally buy the product multiple times and pay for it.
