Disable adsense revenue sharing in buy, sell, trade forums

    A few guys including this guy banra create fake auctions just to get shared adsense commission from thread views. At the end of the day, they just say the sites are sold to private bids. They've sold a few sites, but why their iTrade is still 0?

    banra again created a thread in Adsense forum today claiming he made 800 bucks today from DP. I went there only to find out the screenshot he provided is photoshopped. This guy wants to make money off DP by using these dirty tricks.

    These scammers are deserved to be banned first place. And then please disable revenue sharing in all buy, sell, and trade forums to prevent further exploitation. We waste hours to bid on these ghost auctions.

    I never realized this before, but that is definatley a dirty tactic. Perhaps ban the member and not the system.

    This was another way of getting more impressions and earning a few cents by impressions :
    918 impressions for this thread opened by him http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=131469

    If at all he is trying to prove himself correct, Shawn might be knowing this as the same amount goes to Shawn i.e. due to Adsense sharing :D :D

    Based on the earnings reported as income from DP threads from long time/very active members, I can't see this being a success anyway.

    Do you know any admins that actually click adsense ads?

    I would venture a guess that ads are clicked for the sake of supporting the site, if at all by members.
