A google engineer usually visit digitalpoint forums at some interval of time... Goodluck!!! and hope you receive your adsense earnings. Better prepare and transfer to Adbrite instead.
Not a good thing to do since adsense does keep track of I P address if they see clicks coming from the same I P day after day week after week it won't be long before you get banned. They are a lot smarter than you.
A dollar a day is fantastic if your starting off, I remember struggling to get 0.50$! But now I have improved my skills and I earn much more now.
As other forum members, I am sure if you get clicks from same area then it will be identifiable as a foot print and google will ban you for sure. You have to do some thing if you really want to work with adsense on long term basis. They dont seem to tolerate such activity and believe me if they banned you, no matter how you try to convince them, you wont get you account back in this case
I fully understand your situation because I am currently struggling to make that $0.50 per day. But I am quite confident that with the improvement of my traffic, I am sure I will be able to make at least $1 on a daily basis.
Avoid telling your friends about your Adsense ads and how you need them to click on it. You're account will be banned in no time.
I don't need them to click anything, I just put them up in effort to get some revenue from it. To the people who keep saying im going to get banned. I get well over 2k unique hits a day, I don't know whos clicking my ads. I just know I earn $1+ a day from a few clicks from people.
Well nice going and nice idea. In my case I tell my buddies not to click on my ads Since i run a lot of sites with adsense its too much a risk to ask someone to click my ads. If your content is good and people are coming to your site money will come automatically Best of luck !
GOOGLE will notice a pattern, I agree with his post. Ban may come. Also, you indirectly told them clicks are needed, what did you think would happen?? I don't think what you're doing is 100 percent ethical unless you tell people to buy stuff through your source.. but not click on the source unless they are genuinely interested... Only forty members, giving constant daily clicks,,,, yep, it will throw a flag I believe. ?
Great article. Just one point here phpbb3 is good but the loading speed is slow, if you really want to make your forum better, use VB
