Question About Digital Point?

Hey guys, I wondered, is it ok for us to click the google adsense ads in our own threads? You see I understand you shouldnt do this on your website as the ip. is traced but what about Digital Point?

 

That's fine if you're interested in the ad. If you participate in the revenue sharing you are never displayed your own ads anyway.

 

Yes - the system is set up , to NOT show your ad code to yourself....

Unless you are logged out.......

But when logged in, you won't be served your own ads

Hope that helps

 

Ah right, thank you for clearing that up for me. I wonder why then people are not taking full advantage of this feature?

 

I don't participate on revenue sharing here at DP because the posibility of getting fraudulent clicks from other DP members.
IMO it's a high risk for only a few pennies.

 

I thought the system here at DP is not violating any adsense rules?

If so tell me and I'm out of here.

 

What do you mean by "taking full advantage of this"?

 

The system here isn't violating any AdSense rules.

If a member is participating in the revenue sharing then their ads are shown for 50% of the pageviews of their threads. It therefore follows that if someone doesn't like Member X they could, in theory, get click happy on the ads of Member X's threads and successfully generate invalid clicks on Member X's ads 50% of the time. Theoretically possible.

 

What I mean is, why arnt we all clicking each others adds to create revenue for everyone, I know some do but not everyone and certainly not all the time.

Anyways this is not the issue here, is DP violating adsense?

 

Thank you for clearing that up, but could'nt anyone go on our sites and do that, how could we be held accountable for someone else actions?

 

In a fair world you can't be held accountable for someone else's actions. This isn't fair though - this is AdSense. There is a risk.

 

I participate and in the last 10 months I made maybe 40cents.
Just not going in my favor..... You can try it for a month to see if you do better than me.

 

Just 40cents? I have made $9 from this in two weeks. Not great but better than nothing.

So adsense may block your account if someone else clicks your adds all the time? That is terrible.

 

I'm curious, if a member could get banned due too this invalid clicks, why does DP adsense account never got banned

 

Are you being serious? Clicking on ads for the sake of benefiting your fellow members (and eventually yourself) is unethical and unfair to the advertisers.

 

Wow, that good. I'm selling my Id adsense account for 2$ per month if anybody dare to give it a try.

 

I see what you mean ReadyToGo but google isnt too ethical either giving people such low cpm whilst they are taking the majority and being mega rich!

Yes if thats the case, why hasnt DP account been blocked.

 

Well i smell cheating hope is not the case

 

Time to get some real business going...

 

All I'm saying is it's theoretically possible that someone could exploit the system to generate invalid clicks on another member. In practice the amount of 'good' clicks on a forum like DP far outweigh the 'bad' clicks, which are almost insignificant by comparison. DP ads also bring in considerable revenue for Google and, much more importantly, Google wouldn't want to attract negative publicity by making things difficult for such a large webmaster community.
