    Hello,I was wondering if someone could help me out alittle.
    I basically want to put a button on my site that when clicked will open a random ad.This will of course pay me.
    Now I am not trying to be underhanded or anything.I just don't want the actual ad on my page.This way I can have this button with a note above it saying something like:

    "Help this site by clicking the button"
    [button]
    "Will open Ad in new window"

    Is something like that ok to do?
    What ad company would support that?


    Thank you for your time.


    P.S. I hope I put this in the right place,very sorry if I did not

    that would be probably be a breach of most PayPerClick programs. You would quickly get banned.

    Advertisers don't advertise so your users can support your site. They do it to get customers. The only people who should click are those who are interested in the product/service being advertised (and may end up purchasing)

    This is considered to be click-fraud and you will quickly be identified as the no of clicks will equal your number of page throughs. Your CTR will be almost 100%.

    If you dont want ads on the page there are programs out there for popups and popup-unders. Alternatively put ads on your site and live with it.

    no problem. Glad to help.

    I tried to be as clear as possible to avoid ambiguity and for any other people reading it to.

    Our reasons are Advertisers get upset over clickfraud
    The majority of Publishers discourage it as much as they can, because in the end advertisers will stop advertising if they allowed it.
