SERPS CHART - Rank Keyword Tracker SET! SEPT 12 (DAY1) Keyword Google Rank SwapClix: 70 Costa Dedes: 6
swapclix [swapclix] "swapclix" has been added to my PSA ad! It looks like it's starting to show up some where, it's got one impression. I would make a PSA for click monkeys, except it has 4,150,000 results!!
I found this part interesting- Click Monkeys!!â„¢ is a Ukrainian company and is not subject to United States law. That would make Costa Dedes proud, it seems
From a forum: I emailed them and asked if they could tell me more about it and how it works and I got the following response... "Hi Shannon thanks for the email. My method of generating income is very simple. It uses two widely known services provided by Google. The first is Google adwords, this drives traffic to your site. The second is Google Adsense, this service pays you for clicks. The software I include generates webpages that will provide a 30%+ clickthrough rate, which is very high. Most webmasters struggle to get a 1% click through rate. There is no need for a website, although you will need some type of webhosting where you can upload HTML files. Thank You, Costa Dedes" Here's the thread: http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4968&sid=0384e327c6cb9eb9cb860ad166dbb5f0 Code (markup):
You know, reading Costa's sites and articles, I think he's a likable character. The name 'Click Monkeys' - come on, it's funny shit. I don't condone what he's doing, but I think him as a person don't take life too seriously at all. Cool guy. Pete
First of all I did not send those emails. The program is a top selling product on Clickbank. I have hundreds of affiliates. One of my affiliates spammed tons of email addreses. I actually had Clickbank shut down his affiliate account about three months ago because of this. I received one complaint from a company saying they got spammed that message 5 times over the course of three days, so I had them forward the email to me. I found the affiliates ID in the link and contacted Clickbank. Clickbank then shut down the affiliates ID so he could no longer spam and earn money. Also, there is no fraud involved. If you want to see Adsense fraud visit this site www . GooglePex . com There they encourage users to CLICK each others ads. The only thing I do is show users how to setup Adsense to be profitable and actually make money with it. So before you think everything is a scam, or I am a spammer I would appreciate you contact myself first. Thank You, Costa Dedes
I am sure there are lots of topics each of us are individually tired of.. but it is on topic for this forum. But regardless.. where in the world is Costa Dedes
No, the program does not break the TOS. If you say that then Frontpage, Dreamweaver, and any HTML editor breaks Googles TOS. It is just an very easy to use HTML editor for people who do not have experience with web page design.
It isn't the program itself, its the way its being marketed. THat you can basically get an AdSense account, throw it into your program which creates lots of crap pages. It is a classic "Built for AdSense" program (Judging by the site and by the email printed here) which violates the TOS
Actually it was originally developed to promote affiliate products. By adding a few lines of code into the program I was able to insert Adsense into the affiliate landing page. Now when you advertise an affiliate program you have additional streams of possible income. The user comes to your site, they look at the affiliate programs you are offering, if they do not like what they see, they tend to click on a Google Adsense link. Now how is that any different from Google Adsense being on this site? You come to this site, reading what you want to read, then you see something that interests you and click a Google Adsense link.
Lol...Heres the difference..Its not content for contents sake. It is a service site which requires hours upon hours of manpower a day. It is also unique in many ways. You are telling people with no experience and no time spent they can make their forutne using AdSense. Basically you are creating wither random or recycled pages which the person did absolutely nothing to create. What value is that to visitors?? How about providing a few links to sites built using your system?
