    hmm... what are the chances that Google gets permission to supervise messenger conversations...?

    i´d say: 0

    But they will notice if your clickers are directed by a link, and not from a search engine...

    You should tell your friend that by doing this, he is hurting us all.

    or from a another site that links to you.

    That would raise a flag and eventually ban you when they check on your account.

    If you're planning to do this. Don't!

    People forget that Google has access to huge amounts of data. They can predict exactly what a certain type of site should be earning, the amount of clicks etc. They will quickly be able to dectect people creating fraudelent clicks in this way based on the usage statistics for that site.

    In most likelihood - both. If you have a site that has Adsense on it and that's been running for a while Google should have a nice profile of how that account is doing and what should be normal for that account.

    Now if you take it on a site basis. Google has millions of publishers and the data for different kinds of site. By this time they should have an extremely accurate profile of what the baseline CTR/impressions/earnings for a site should be. If your site varies extremely from that baseline they are bound to investigate.

    *Please note. The above is speculation on my part. I'm taking an educated guess. Google will of course also allow for some sites being more successful/better optimized etc. The point I'm trying to make is that they have lots of data to extrapolate and make conclusions from.

    I think Google's solution will be that your $ per click will drop down to eventually nothing. Advertisers will complain that they pour dollars in to ads on your site, and the clickers never go any further than the main page/never order anything/never participate.

    So, if you have hundreds and hundreds of friends, and none of them will turn you in, you could probably make yourself a cool $1-$2 per day for like....maybe 2 hours work.

    You'll probably lose all the friends after about a week of that crap, though.

    Exactly. I'm sure Google wouldn't notice a relatively normal site that has normal traffic and link referrers and then suddenly gets tons of random traffic from IM clients :rolleyes:

    The risk is not worth those $5 which you will earn in that way
