    Yes,and that is alright.
    But who knows is there any click on your unit when you see nothing.Google TOS is all about that.
    And no really support.Why???Why all kind of mistery about that.

    Like I said before Google Adsense program is the best program for publishers and adwords for advertising.

    There is no any program better than google in market,today.
    Kontera is second one for my opinion.
    But,like I said before there is a problem with bad customer support for publishers and some restrictions.
    Big kiss for all google adsense funs :)

    i'll say as in the gambling player newer wins always the casino wins, always all advertiser network provider make some cheats, but some may cheat less than other. i think google cheats less than other networks like yahoo and other small ones connected to yahoo and google.

    adsense doesn't cheat, but I have experiences with adwords that all the clicks get me paying, no clicks there were invalid, unlike adsense sometimes you will see 6 clicks at the end of the day that cost nothing

    You do not get clicks for "some reason" but that some reason should not be Google Adsense cheating unless you have valid proof right?

    If you're not satisfied with Google's way of dealing with their business then you're free to choose another service.

    sounds like you are too concerned about money and not enough about just the love of making a website

    that is what the internet was meant to be, and if you do what you like and know well, then some money will come :p

    dont' rely on adsense alone, i saw many innocent people got fried before they get paid.....

    never rely on single sources of income, i do my blog for my own pleasure and maybe if i get paid a little, i won't be sad.

    Google can easily lie that you had false (or fraud) clicks.

    Example:

    Total earnings from adsense this month: 759,16
    False clicks (google's opinion): 167,44
    Total pay-out: 591,72

    When google wants to make more profit, they just tell you you had false clicks.
    They wont and cant explain you how they detect, when they detect, how you can protect against clickfraud, etcetera, so in my opinion this is a fraudulent company.
    google just steal money from their partners.

    Plus they keep all the money made from the advertisers after they ban publishers (for whatever arbitrary reason they come up with at the time). That part certainly isn't fair. They should at least pay the publisher what they earned until that point OR give the money back to the advertisers!

    It's the old bait and switch.

    Initially they show you how much you can earn. Then when you start to optimize your site for Adsense, they'll accuse you of click fraud so they don't have to pay you.

    Yes, it's deliberate. They say it's in the name of protecting their advertisers, but really it's done so they can make their quarterly numbers for Wall Street.

    Yes, I certainly don't like that part. Just say Google ban 1000 publishers with average $80 in their account every month. You can calculate it yourself, how much does Google earn from its advertiser :rolleyes:

    What I liked about this poll is that the results (so far) are very close !!!

    Interesting to know that so many people think Google is cheating !

    Well and also consider the fact that your "friend" may not have clicked the sweet-spot in the ad. Just clicking in the ad-rectangle does not necessarily count as a click. It has to be on the hot-spot. Clicking in the vicinity of the text will get you nowhere.

    The ones thinking google is cheating probably have some darkness in their past...why would you think Google is cheating unless you're aware of a click that wasn't counted...and if you're aware then you may be related to it.

    There should have been a few other choices in the poll, not the least of which is:

    "Have you ever tried cheating Adsense?"

    Can't find a good reason for Google to cheat, they have such a big revenue, why fuc* that up? because some cents? they pay more then fair, and no one really can compete them.
