I just got a warning from Google that I was getting improper clicks from auto surf programs. But I don't use them. What is going on? They threatened to Ban me.
Lucky for you that you actually got a warning. Most people don't. Take it on the chin and be sure you follow the letter of the law in future. I know you've done nothing wrong this time but next time you'll probably not be so lucky. Edit: Another debt consolidation blog? I can't imagine why they're picking on you!
and what actually you did to get this letter? did you participate in autosurf program? Or were you the advertiser for the autosurf program whereby ur site get displayed in surfer's eyes?
i got the same warning a few days ago. I am not using such programs and i am trying to figure out what's going on. Not even know in which of my sites they were talking about, so i could remove the ads for some time
You should track where you traffic is coming from.... first find the auto surfing program and then contact them to get your site removed..
I hate those autosurfs scams. You should contact them if you find which autosurf program is about, But as Prilep says you better remove ads for a while…
that happened to me. i got a warning for fraud clicks and they threatened to ban me. But i really didn't do anything wrong and i told them that. They would not give me any info (they never do). But i have not had any problems since....
Take your site offline for a little while if you can afford to. Then make sure NOTHing on your site is drawing in that type of traffic. Trust me, its worth it!
Did you recently pay for one of the scams that offers to send you 1,000,000 unique visitors? I had a friend who did that and he got banned with no warning...he was just trying to get a site started and thought he was doing a good marketing thing...turned out the people he hired used a program to hit his site and it was caught by Google.. Google is God...don't enrage it !!
Hi, It is good that u got a warning.. G doesn't warn many people they just BAN them.. It is better to remove ads for time being from the site and contact G. Regards,
May I ask why you hate autosurf? When I was in autosurf I made just under £10k of profit in 6 months, i was staking and staking and then i just cashed out and got out of the game. (12dp, DND and alien mostly). I've heard about others who made much more than me. The program owners of the top sites must have been rolling sixes, either that or us lot were just lucky to get in at the top of the line (or should i say....ponzi pyramid). The autosurf scheme wasn't as scammy as some make out because people got paid, lots of people. Those who didn't understand the dynamics of ponzi schemes are the ones that got burnt.
I also made about 10K from 12DP (member from the begining) and about 500$ from alien, I was just start to earn 6K from 12DP when it colapse. Not doing hyips and autosurfs for about a year now. Adsense and CJ is honest way of making money. I hate the idea of scaming people.
I always promoted them as pozi schemes (scams) and people still signed up. Therefore I beleive my time spent in that field was completely ethical. If you say to someone "hi, im a scam artist, do you want to join my autosurf, there's a chance we could run off with your money. But don't worry, if it all goes pete tong, you'll still have your dignitity, and your bank overdraft." If I say this and they still join, it's their own fault. lol
Track your competitors as well and report to Google if you think any of your competitor is ambigious.
