Google Adsesne Hacked - Earned $5000 by small script

    Yes this is true, one person literally hacked adsense and literally made some good amount of money from that. He had done this twice and think of the publishers who had lost good amount of money in that.

    Tried to provide the overview of the script on my blog

    wow this is sorta BS/garbage. It's called click-fraud, and sending out 1000 emails telling them to click on your ads won't do anything - unless all 1000 are your close friends willing to do it. A few people receiving such e-mails will report it to Adsense, and adsense would probably ban you if they find it accurate (too many clicks in a short time amount of time).

    Click fraud does happen but not through bulk e-mails.

    First this is spam, second this is against Adsense TOS. Sooner or later he will lose his adsense account.

    They should also have their small fuzzy ones cut off and put into a jar.

    Nothing new here in this type of approach - they'll get banned. Simple.

    LOL!! Hmmm... maybe - if you go and click on my adsense ads, I will put you in touch with my dying uncle... apparently he is being poisoned by he maid - who wants access to his 50 gazillion dollars. If you click my ads, I will tell him that you are to be trusted and he will add your name to his will :D

    Well,

    If he asks them to click in the ads by email, just simply any one can forward the email to adsense and report him also they will somehow catch that person and get there account banned as well as credit the advertisers for this.

    As simple as that.

    maybe you guys did not read the article properly.

    it is not about getting visitors by spam.

    the article says - send visitors to a site like you tube. when they click ads on that site, you get paid.

    People pay Adsense to attract more visitors to their website who'll hopefully buy/join so that they can earn revenue from it. A script like this is nothing more than stealing money from hardworking people. Why should they have the right to earn money stealing others while other people have to work hard for it?

    Edit.. sorry forgot to read that it wasn't you but someone else. Then this post goes out to the person behind it :)

    I just spit my orange juice all over my keyboard! I think google owes me enough - they have enough money to just give me whatever I want - it doesn't matter who the money comes from!
