Companies don’t usually publish their definitions, but they also have to make an effort to exclude fake users or risk being held accountable by their investors.

Sure, but if I accidentally click on one of their links in google image search I'm "using" the website and not "fake", but $0.80 would be quite a bad deal ;) Whereas its registered users actively doing something on the site, not as terrible.
