I've recently realized that a lot of people could make a lot of money by using google adsense. I propose a network of adsense users could be formed with the rule "click on mine and I'll click on yours." If this idea is legal, I'd like to move ahead with it.

Be careful man. Google have powerful algorithm for adsense. They will ban you at the last moment before payment. Insted of wasting your time on this, try to concentrate to develope good content site. Then automatically visitors comes.

Everyone in the "network" will get banned. Even if you did it in some "secret" fashion, Google will be able to see a click pattern using IP addresses.
It is totally illegal to force up some one to click your ad campaigns! both through content & link directions
Forget about it right now, imagine yourself as the advertiser, imagine your ad budget being wasted, imagine losing your account for good.
