Now I don't want to play chicken-little, but in response to all the self-proclaimed innocent people being banned from AS for fraudulent clicks, what about here? I realized I was violating my own policy of keeping my sites low keyed, meaning I don't post URLs here, or ask for public reviews, both can result in fraud. Admit it we know the boobs who say, "Wow nice site, I'll click a few ads". How I was violating my own policy is I've shared me AS id in my user account, which I'm correcting now. I've only received a very-very-very little amount form my AS here, so I don't think it's worth the risk at this time, am I over cautious? Or just a nut? tom
Is this forum safe? I don't know. But I do know there's nothing wrong with sharing your adsense id. I mean, all you've gotta do is view page source and you can grab anyone's adsense id. No TOS violations there.
I'm guessing from both replies, the point wasn't sharing any id's (that only goes against my policy of preventing click fraud). I dont' think anyone has been banned from AS because of this either, and such an issue of a banning was never brought up. The AS banning topic has been click-fraud for weeks now, check the recent posts about AS Banning. What protects us from boobs that don't understand the what click fraud is and starts clicking around on this forum, and creating click fraud on you account? Hope this clarifies my question, tom
Same thing that prevents people from doing it on your own site. As long as it's not YOU committing click fraud (or asking others to do it), you would be fine. IMO there really is no point in worrying about it... Just let Google do their job and detect it on their end (which they are good at) and take the appropriate action.
ZuraX, You have to be one of the most observant, money grubbing, opportunistic weirdos that has replied to this thread. I like YOU. As long as it's not against any rules, PM me your id and create a channel for it, and pm me that channel code too. I can use yours till a better idea comes along. Good luck, Tom
