"I clicked your ads, will you return the favor?"

    This guy is annoying. I have a bunch of blogs at blogspot that are very popular and bring a hefty profit legitimately. This guy finds my blogs by clicking "next blog" on the blogger banner. He happened to land on a bunch of them, and clicked on my ads, then leaves a comment saying that he clicked the ads and wants me to return the favor. On top of that his site makes refrences to clicking on the ads.

    This is his site if you want to see what I'm talking about.

    I sent this letter to Google:

    that is just click fraud, report him and thats all, or first tell him that its illegal, mabe he does not know that he is ripping advertisers off.

    Her name is Kaylee, and she has Adsense on multiple sites. Too bad for her!

    Kaylee is the person who is commenting on your blog and clicking your ads.

    I think you did the right thing by reporting it to Google.

    Can't blame him, it is the American Dream and america is still dreaming.

    Let's all do a big favor for this blogger and start clicking on their ads. Please keep the clicks to less than 100 per hour, we don't want to set off any alarms at google :rolleyes:

    Get clicks or die tryin.

    His blog is gone now, someone must have eliminated him. I would hi jack it except for the fact that he has comments on everyones blogs saying click my ads, then google would think its my fault.

    That sort of stuff will always go on but in the long term it benefits no-one as conversion rates would go down and in turn the ad-clicks would become worthless. :( Don't even think about syndicating such behavior!

    mostoften the message was created by a robot but the visitor doesn't actually click your ads.

    to detect it, You can disable the autocomment made by robots by activating the security character for comments or mederating the comments. After doing that and you never receive similar comments like what you said, then that was created by robots. But if you still receive such messages then it's not a robot anymore but a real man.

    Mister Tut, is your avatar the costume of the people who would tend to the black plague victims?
    If so, it's awesome.

    Agree with Skinny, don't risk your account, just report Google about the user with necessary proofs.

    Instead of making money by fraud ways, I would prefer being a poor person.
