Click Fraud People On This Forum!!!

    Oh my god, just after my last post asking what I should do to try and stop clickfraud e.t.c I get a private message from a member saying they want to 'help me' in return for a link!! Of course I said NO WAY - are they stupid or something - it's against TOS and it can get my account banned that's not helping me.

    What is wrong with people? What should I do about this - email google?
    So annoying

    They're offering to assist you in resolving your issue, in exchange for a link from your site?

    I see no TOS violation..

    I'm not sure I understand. What do links and CF have to do with one another?

    I'm sorry I didn't explain myself properly - basically he was offering to click on my adsense in exchange for a link on my site - Which is click Fraud!

    I don't see how requesting a link in exchange for help is against the TOS.

    Edit: Nevermind, we posted at almost the same time. By the time I had my reply typed and sent, yours popped up when I refreshed. Sorry. :(

    In that case, you must be the pope. Offering help, may mean he is willing to review your ad placement and suggest a better overall ad position.

    The safest thing would be to email Google and I also want to encourage you to out him here.

    That doesn't make any sense. You requested help for click fraud in a previous thread before even receiving that PM.

    Was about to make that point...something isn't jiving here, almost an HOUR difference. There is no CLEAR case of click fraud from the PM, though people could read that into it if they chose. I haven't looked at your site...do you post your earnings there? How does he know they are steady at $7?

    Yes I requested help for something like adlogger to prevent this. Then he sent me a message and visited my blog cause I can see him on mybloglog.

    I don't know maybe I am being paranoid and have this all wrong - but I have had very little visitors today and if you saw the stats on my adsense from the 10 minutes after that you would be paranoid about your account being banned.

    How can somebody know the adsense earning of a site?
    Can somebody tell me here how much I do with adsense if I give him my site's URL?

    No. Odds are she put her earnings somewhere in another thread.


    EDIT: she replied before I refreshed the page :)

    On the blog, which appears in the profile, one of the posts mentioned that they are averaging $7.

    What it looks like to me, is just someone offering assistance to escalate these figures legitimately. I also find it strange though, that you request help for adlogger and then within seconds are a victim of click fraud.
