Faking your reports

    I've always been curious as to why people bother faking their reports? :confused:

    They aren't actually earning that much... They are wasting time making a post about it too. In the time they plan a faked earning report, they could just as easily be optimizing their site to earn more money!

    Some reports seem legitimate though, I'm not saying all are fake.

    Also, a side question, why do some people say "10,00" instead of "10.00"?

    On topic of Adsense, what are your REAL daily earnings?

    In English-speaking countries, the decimal point (decimal marker)
    is the period. In continental Europe and most other places, the
    decimal marker is the comma. ... Since the comma often means a
    decimal point, the International System (SI) requires that large
    numbers, like the billions above, be represented as groups of
    three digits separated by narrow spaces, not by commas.

    Either they are just sad and desperate for attention, or they are eventually going to try to sell you an ebook about how to be rich like them.

    That's how decimals are written in most of continental Europe. Now ask why Indians write one million as 10,00,000 and call it "ten lakh".

    a lot of people fake reports to gain social kudos, money for a site that doesn't actually make any money and/or to scam someone.

    Some people do it because they think there is more chance readers of there thread will click there link to see how they make such earnings to look at there niche,layouts and such.. Many times these types of threads are very popular on DP especially the more BS they are.

    1. To sell their product (ebooks)
    2. To get attention
    3. Make themselves feel good

    Probably to gain attention and a few hope that a few people visit their site.
    I would rather spend time marketing the site instead of faking stats
