I can't believe that Google doesn't track this nonsense and boot these people. You would think they would simply have that term set aside somewhere with someone watching it daily and booting these people with a simple click. If they did it would make advertising on the sites that deserve it more effective, since people like me who do use adwords wouldn't have our budgets blown up by the people who don't do it the right way. I don't mind paying out money to sites that convert. It's these "click the google ads" idiots that really make it aggravating Ian
can any one visit this site xxhttp://www.musicsianfriends.com/contents/complete02.php?k=Lost+Credit+Cards&left_category=0&Left_Category= and tell me how they are able to hide the "Ads by Gooooooogle" tag? Oh yeah talking about "Click on my ads"... yesterday I visited a site which was about how to "nail your neighbour's barking dog".. the article was awsome and I liked it very much.. I was about to bookmark it but then I saw a line.."If you by any chance found this article usefull then for my dog's sake Please Please click on my Google ads". Since I liked the article very much so I clicked on the ads. only 5,345 time/10 Minutes for full 1 hour <J/K>
That page is 'parked' by a parking service which have premium adsense and a custom engine to show sponsored links.
What's even more interesting is when I did a search for 'click google ads' and Google's AdWords came up! See for yourself! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q="click+google+ads"&btnG=Search
Money Folk, could this be what you were talking about? http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=133554 Imagine actually paying for an Ebook that had this advice in it :/
It was actually on a Saving Money/Budgeting Forum. The pages in question were all blogs. I don't know if bloggers tend to be more abusive????. I know alot of fine people here are bloggers...just asking.
I think, abuser are using blogs because blogs is easy to use but powerful tool. But serious bloggers (like me) are not abusers....
One blogger actually took an article that i wrote and put it on his website. Not only did he remove all my hyperlinks - he manually edited my byline so that you would think he wrote the article. I posted a message for him to remove the article. I can't access his website anymore. I think he blocked my IP address ???? Oh well, this is a different subject - but it's vexing when some people try to cheat for a buck! People don't want to work for their money. I put so much work into my site constantly revising it and trying to make it better so that I can be proud of it. Speaking of that I'm not making any money on the index page so a major update is around the corner...back to more work for me.
