Adsense has become the medium for earning for plenty of spammers. I could see millions of websites being built just to get adsense revenue. I tried some very good business keywords and I see the result websites are not relavent but they are full of adsense. I have also seen that fraud clicks are putting the advertisers money all in vein. In that case, is this really a workable concept? It surely gives good sense to google but is it good to invest in adwords seeing all above issues.
True, this is the reason why google have tighten up the requirement to be the member of adsense, those "spammer" will soon be kicked by google.
Alas, by the time spammer is banned or kicked out of the system, a lot of good advertiser money has already been lost and the guy would return under some other identity. You have raised a very valid point there @ monishka. Lot of sites are built around adsense, and for those who are doing it right - do earn in the right fashion, those who try blackhat often loose all money they may have accumulated after all the efforts put in by them!!
You give a very nice title adsense or non sense but do u know i am fan of GOOGLE So let me clear google are kicking many people but many MFA are taking place on daily base. Its only GOOGLE who can set policy for displaying ads and qualifying website requirement.
Monishka Your point would have been very valid a year ago but Adsense have dropped like a ton of bricks on the MFA sites and have closed many. Of course you still get thses sites as you have discovered but Adsense are gradually closing them down , especially when they reach the $100 mark. The big problem was that many inferior sites were accepted for Adsense but just look at the forums now, full of people complaining that their site was not accepted. Google have made mistakes but it looks like they are trying to correct them. Fraud clicks are just that and most of the time are picked up by Adsense so are not charged. Compared to its competition Adsense are still making a better job of it and can only get better (We hope)
It is because of these spammers and click frauds that genuine people like us are getting affected.I think it is better to report such people !
AdSense pays generally more than other network because there is more competition. You should expect to pay more in your AdWords. The ROI is generally lower. If you have a product with tiny margin of profit, you might not really make money. One big advantage is that you have a very large population in many fields. It is relatively easy to show your ads because of the large number of publishers. Someone told me that what was working the best is the ads in Google searches and not the AdSense shown on the publishers pages. May be because of the click fraud, but may be because Google searches are more targeted than AdSense on pages.
It's not a fact of people getting away with this kind of activity. Because the reality is, Google will only pay out to those customers that provide a worthwhile website. Anyone could sign up and put adsense wherever they like - and for that period, we'd see it. However when it got to paycheck time, they'd simply limit the account, and not send payment. Hence, advertisers get their clicks refunded. You will rarely, if ever, see a long term site that is clearly just MFA, with completely usless information on.
How would google know if same person uses dynamic IP or difference cybercafes in his area to do this activities, earn $100 and walk away to make new site. ?
