I don't understand this story. If he promised you his Corvette to drive it, why he didnt actually let you drive it?
Well this can be true because there are some plugins which are meant for adsense and they are all open and anyone can analyse the code to find some loop holes its that easy friends come on take this serious. I have seen many sites which have shell access and you can make changes as you wish. So this may be true!
May be True things are basically false. Because there is not May be in front of the word false, but there is in front of the word True.
I my self feel the same why tricky people earn a lot i work on googleadsense in a fair way and was not able to achieve some decent earning on other hand i have a friend he uses some trick and he is making abt 1k that is handy money for a person living in my country anyways he was doing it well enough and he made me impress.But i am still curious why people earn those play with publishers.
OMg, nice inspirations for us. He just show us that without being fulltime IM, he still grab thousand from adsense monthly.
Why ask for proof? He obviously can't provide it. Whether the story is true or not the concept is sound. There are tons of vulnerabilities in CMS packages, and if you don't stay up to date you'll get stung. $65k a month is totally doable, cheating or not.
Very often, if I'm logged in one of my wordpress sites and I'm looking at the source pages of my site, I see there my pub-id. But if I'm logged out and I'm looking at sources of my pages, I see there another unknown pub-id. It could be possible to be the pub-id of your friend? It could be possible your friend bought his Corvette with my money ? I don't know, but I will report right now to Google that unknown pub-id. I don't gave too much attention to this fact until now because I'm not interested by financial returns, only my visitors satisfaction really matters for me, but now I will report that thief. These next days, when your "super smart" friend will go to the jail, you can drive finally his Corvette and even know closer his wife..
Actually the OP is not that far away anyway, at the early stages he was raking money from scraping content. Its just that Google solved that problem first before going to this next problem. Can you share that PUB ID? With the PUB ID we can easily track and see if its true that its a hacker's pub id.
