Man Tries To Extort Google...

I read this earlier today and couldn't stop laughing. He's got to be one of the biggest morons out there.

 

he probably could have done ok with that software using it here or there and selling small quanities of it, but he was openly advertising it in google groups AND actually went to their office...what was he thinking

 

Ya, I remember reading his post a while back and thinking, what an IDIOT, he's going to get slammed ... now looks like he is going to the slammer! ;-)

alek

 

The strange thing about all this and the press coverage is that nobody seems to understand how AdSense works. Google really didn't stand to lose anything. All the false click that this guy would have generated would have been charged back to the advertisers.

Now you can argue that if it was carried to an extreme It would have cost Google business, but essentially the guy was trying to extort the wrong victim.

If all the people in this forum setup a system of random reciprocal AdSense clicking -- I click your sites, you click mine -- the only person(s) who will be hurt financially are the advertisers. Google will simply invoice the advertisers for each click. At least until somebody figures out the scam and catches us.

 

It still amazes me that people can be so naive to believe that they can get away with this stuff.

 

Yep, and ultimately this would be bad for Google too. No one will continue to pay for clicks for very long that aren't generating any business or leads.

 

Doesn't CTR take care of cases like reciprocal clicking
