I started an experiment two months before on adsense. I used some methods and clicked on my ads 4-6 times a day. I didn't have any intention to get money from this method. I was just experimenting it. In two months, this account reached 121.45$ . I knew it would surely get blocked before the payout. What happened today is I opened my account and I was surprised to see that 'Payment issued' in my payment history section. What the hell? Why Google wasn't able to detect all my invalid clicks?
That should not be the case... but good for you it happened and bad for google because if google adwords advertisers reading this - they would probably shy to place ads on to it...
Yes I feel sorry for the advertisers. I m going to cancel my account and will not do this any further
actually... on the other hand... you should continue testing it... and let update this thread from time to time that what's the result... so that all come to know google is actually tracking or not... isnt it!
This kind of post should not be here, infact you deserve to be banned from this forum, I wish I will get your ID and report this to Google for immediate action. People like you make Google to have a rethink on adsense. Shawn Please remove and Barr this cheap, petty criminal from this forum.
Uchenna Iheagwu he was conducting a test, if anything Google will start looking closer into there system because of this thread. Google should be able to catch him, but they didn't, that's something they should focus more on doing.
That's interesting, but I'm glad you're stopping. Not only because it's dishonest for advertisers, but I'm sure the ban would be coming sooner or later.
Its not a good idea at all, don't think of trying it. It is not ethical, and will get you banned sooner or later.
Invalid click are not detected immediately, and that's why you can see the earning is used "estimate earning" which means adsense have right to pull back the money anytime once they found that there are any invalid click On the other hand, not matter what is the reason, you are not allowed to click on the ads, adsense have right to ban you due to this kind of activities
Your account has probably been flagged by Google and it will be removed once someone has got round to manually checking it. A BIG clue for Google is if you click from the same IP adress as you log into adsense - then they will know it is you. From different IP adresses you might be able to get away with the odd click or 2, but its hardly a way to earn a lot of cash. Focus your energies on doing things the right way and you'll get good long term earnings.
