Hello to all, have a look at the image below which states a Facebook application who wants to earn money by begging for clicks to us. Waiting for your comments on it. What should AdSense do to detect and stop those sites?
They've got a little link on the ads where you can report the publisher, there's not a great deal more they can do. Notice the plea for clicking is an IMAGE so a bot won't be able to just parse the text and ping them for violation, which is pretty smart on the part of the publisher.
Ironically, it's "atrocious". On topic: The best you can do is report the link. Regardless of how 'clever' it may be, it's still against the TOS and he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Google has plenty of apps that can 'read' images (Google goggles, for example) taken by a phone, so I have a feeling they can also read images on web pages as well.
i think this was a smart move but its ilegal by the tersms of google basicly he made a fund raiser like ptc but insted he is not paing for the click. very smatr move but i think he is caught alredy or gona get soon
You are right, reporting is the only way. But we only know about a publisher who is doing this. In this world there might be thousands of publishers doing this. What about the advertisers of Adwords
People are very lazy nowadays. They can't just be millionaire overnight. What a way to earn money through Google adsense through asking people to click the ads to help the webmaster. Might as well have this guy reported and have his website banned by Google. People like these make honest publishers loose money or opportunity to earn more in the future.
