Analytics are different from ads. When you're running analytics on your own site, you can trust your own logs. But when you are displaying adverts, the ad buyers will likely want better proof that their ad was displayed 'n' times.

They should crawl the website x-times a day (sample) to check if you ate displaying their ads. Or release a binary blob so that you can host their ads on your server (which reports back to their ad network once per hour)

Do you really think this is a feasible solution?

Honestly, I'm tired of pointing to people how superficial their understanding of certain topics is and how ridiculous their "solutions" sound.
