To Click or Not to Click

Google Adsense Click Fraud


If you're using Adwords or Adsense you must have heard about an emerging practice in the underworld of computing called "click fraud". But what exactly is click fraud and how is it accomplished?

Well Google Adsense uses a payment mechanism that awards a certain amount of money to a publisher (someone who holds an Adsense banner on their page) every time someone clicks on the banner or ad. So click fraud is the attempt to have people clicking the ads just so that they can earn a greater income.

As you can imagine there are people setting up sites for the sole purpose of fraudulently generating revenue through Google's Adsense program. These users achieve an incredible number of clicks through many different methods, some complex and sophisticated and some rudimentary and simple.

One of the most complex methods is through the use of so called "hitbots". These are automated programs who emulate clicking the links in Adsense banners (there are some that actually click the banners as well). Google's Adsense protection scheme is by no means perfect and nearly anyone can find the details of surmounting the protection mechanism, ironically just by doing a Google search.

Another perhaps more rudimentary method is to hire a lot of people in a poor country to click the links on your site. This means these people will actually sit all day and just click links so you can earn a fortune. They come from very poor countries like India, and they're prepared to do so for just $0.50 an hour.

Of course there's a problem with using this type of mechanism. Once Google receives a large number of clicks from a single address, the address and the site that had the Adsense banner will be banned, and the illicit behavior might even get the fraudster sued. So be warned!

If you fancy a website of your own all set up for Google Adsense and known to bring in a very good income, then check out http://tinyurl.com/adsensetoday where you can see exactly what it looks like.

Get the most from Google Adsense

Some Tips for using the Google Adsense Program


Google Adsense is a fun and easy way to make extra money. It’s important to follow the rules though as Google is serious about the integrity of this program. Not following the rules could result in your Google Adsense account being terminated. Here are a few pointers that will help when using the program.


1 Read the Terms and Conditions and Program Policies thoroughly.

2 Read everything you can about Google Adsense. Learn from others’ experiences and mistakes.

3 Learn how to optimize your site for the most enjoyable and profitable Google Adsense experience.

4 Realize it does take some time and hard work. That’s why it’s so important that you write about something you care about. Hard work is even harder if you don’t like what you’re doing.


5 Visit other sites that are benefiting from Google Adsense. Click on the ads only if you are truly interested in the product or service being advertised.

6 Read other people’s blogs and comment on them. Only offer a comment though if it is truly sincere.

Hopefully, these helpful tips will ease you into using the program and help you avoid mistakes that could possibly cost you a lot of time or money.
