    Google Ad Sense is when a web site owner opens an account with Google to place advertisement on their web site. When a person clicks this advertisement, the web site owner gets an average commission of .45 cents. A web site that gets a lot of traffic, they can easily make $150,000 per month.

    There are message boards claiming to be informing the public about scams being done by companies or individuals. These web sites have individuals working for them for the sole purpose of targeting companies or individuals in order to generate traffic to the web site. This method is artificially generating traffic to the web site, this is FRAUD as outlined by Google. The higher the traffic, the higher the percentage of individuals that will click onto the Google advertisements.

    Additionally, Individuals post copy right information about a company on these types of web sites; this is against the policy of the Google Ad Sense program.

    If you believe that you are being targeted by individuals on a particular web site; simply click the Ads by Google in the bottom right hand corner of the advertisement on the web site. You will be taken to a Google page, click onto: Report a policy violation regarding the site or ads you just saw

    File a report and the Google Fraud Department will investigate

    Where did you get this information. That average sounds much too high - many people are getting only pennies a click.
    Sure, all you need is hundreds of thousands of visitors a day!

    (At 45 cents per click, you would need 333,333 clicks per month to earn $150,000. That's on the order of 11,000 clicks per day. At a click through rate of 10% (which is on the high side), that's 110,000 visitors per day. At what I think are more reasonable numbers - average 25 cents per click and a 5% click through rate - you would need 400,000 visitors per day. Whether that's "easy" or not is arguable.)
    No, I don't think it usually works that way. As the traffic increases, the total number of clicks should increase, but the click through rate shouldn't go up significantly.

    I'm not totally understanding what you mean by being "targeted by individuals on a web site", but if you see a page with Adsense ads that are breaking the program policies you can indeed report them. Google probably wont do anything if it's just that the site is saying mean things about you, though.

    If a user is blocking the ads, how can he click on them?
