Whenever I wisit a good site with wonderful and helpful contents, I see google ads. It doesn't matter how well they blend it, it clearly comes as it is an ad ( to me that is). After thinking the conten and the help by the sites owner I think of clicking the ads so that he continues to give more content and as a guesture of thanx. Am I doing right or shall i leave this work to others. Wat do u say?
Its no good my man, you gotta think of all those adwords advertisers that have to pay for that. If you want to help a webmaster out give him a backlink.
Please do not click on ads as a gesture of thanks. I know you mean well, but it won't be seen that way by the adword account holders who you are, in effect, de-frauding.
if the conversion rate of the adsense advertiser is too low, he will lower his bids or stop his adwords campaign.
If you don't, no one will and then no one will make money. Of course you should, it is the least you could do. Peace,
That's outrageous! Why should an advertiser pay because YOU like a site. Why don't you just send the web owner money out of YOUR pocket? Unbelievable.
Yet another reason why I only advertise in Search. Too many nitwits "thanking" each other by pocketing my money.
Leave the "work" to those who are truly interested in the ads. Don't click to THANK the webmaster. Advertisers don't like that, and a good webmaster doesn't appreciate it, either. Edited: Funny, seven responses and only one of those thinks it's a good idea.
That's up there, with all the cases of publishers asking for clicks. If we all did that, the adword users would leave, thus adsense being fuxored, thus we being fuxored. No, not right.
Forget about thanks and content and publishers and encouragement.... If the ads interest you click them, otherwise don't!
I'd click the Ad if the Ad truly intrested me. More than once, I got to reading Ads on my website, and ending up to accidentally clicking them, because it seemed appealing. If his content is good, he'll have more legal clicks, and if his content sucks, your one click wont pay his rent anyway.
You should NEVER click on ads that you are not interested!!! Think all those advertisers. If they dont earn money throught their campaign they will think that ppc marketing is not working. Then they will stop advertising.... No Ads running => No Ads to click => No Money for Adsense publishers! On the other hand if you REALLY are interested on that ad offer then you can click the ad. At the end you might sign up or buy the advertisers product. Now we are ALL happy. Happy surfers with their new purchase Happy Publishers for their new checks and finally Happy Advertisers for their new customer!
Or send him a cheque. Why do you think, you are doing a favor by clicking an advrt and the actual payer is someone else?
