When I open a local web page in my computer, like file:///C:/temp/2008/index.html, I can see the ads. My question is Google will pay the click in local machine? If many people click the ads in the local web page, Will Google ban this adsense account? I don't think it's cheating, just different people click ads in the same computer. This computer could be public, many people would use it. What do you think?
Yeah, you can get banned very easily from this. The thing is, why would so many people form the same machine be visiting your site and find interest in your ads. The only reason I can think of for multiple users to be interested in ads on the same site is if you are the admin of an extremely popular site such as myspace (or google itself.) Thus, the traffic around the world would match that of one local machine and generally wouldn't lead to suspicion. But if you're on DP and asking this question, I can guess that this would easily get you banned.
i didnt mean to be mean or offend you either, for which i apologize if i did but yea you will get banned as you are not making google money and more importantly the advertisers i think basic economics should be a must for every publisher why do people think money grows on trees when it comes to adsense? they are either dumb or deluding themselves being an advertiser as well im appalled by some of the publishers . Google should really crack down on idiots who are costing me money
Sorry to all above replies, My wrong expression make you guys misunderstand. of course, I won't click ads by myself, i'm not a fool ;-) what I mean is that will Google punish the publisher if many Different people (exclude the publisher) click the ads in a local machine, they are not wasting anyone's money, because they are really attracted by the ads, not click by idiots. Wish you can catch what I mean, thanks.
Ok, this is different I don't think that this thing can be very common. People do favourites and do not download the sites. But it is a good point to think about it as a potential danger.
they will pay you if it makes them money but you are walking a very dangerous path there so dont be suprised if the account gets banned do you really want to take a risk over few cents?
I'm interested to know the answer. I know clicking your ads is wrong and that's not what I'm talkingabout. What if you sent someone like an index.html file or what ever and they loaded it into firefox or ie an they clicked the ads? I don't mean in a cheating/scamming way just what if. Would that click count as a click or would they just dismiss it? Just to make a few things clear, I'm not going to try this nor would I ever cheat the system but I'm just interested to know. =)
Yes, I don't want to try this too. Just want to know the response of Google. If they ban this, why? because no cheating, the conclusion is their technology is not good enough to detect this kind of situation. They are sucks. If not ban, what I want to say is Google is the best.
how is it not "cheating" ?? where the F@!? do you think the money to pay you comes from? if it doesn't make google and the advertiser money why the hell should they pay you anything? or even better if you are nothing but a liability why keep your account open for long if the clicks are not converting into money for themselves and value for the advertisers then flags are raised, its that simple
Well it could be done in such a way where it's not cheating. For example you go to a ver commonly used computer maybe like a library or something like that. You then place the file on the desktop and call it something catchy. When a user sits down on the computer an they are interested in it they will open it up. If you have content on the page and everything abides by google's tos and a user finds the ads interesting and clicks on them, I don't see how that is nessiceraly cheating? It's technically no different then if someone accessed your site found your ads interesting and clicked them. I mean 99% of the time if you have a click from a local machine and not a server it's more then likely A) a webmaster who is working on their site and accidentally click on them B) A fraudulent click I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who may be thinking about this now lol. It's probably a sure fire way to get you banned.
