    Hello, some people may find this unethical but since I have a strong user base on a forum and my members highly respect me, I'm looking for an ad network that will allow encouraged (not incentive) clicks of maybe like 10 - 20 a day on a financial site, where most ads pay at least $1 per click.

    It is my understanding that Google doesn't allow this though obviously that is what I'd prefer, does anyone have any experience with this? If they don't know I'm encouraging clicks would they still can me if it seemed that way? Or do they just wait and see if any advertisers complain about it? I do not have ads on the forum so basicly I just direct my users to another site and tell them to click. If not Google does anyone know any other decent networks that actually allow encouraged clicks?

    Why on earth would any publisher want fake clicks?

    If you can answer that then I'm sure you'll be able to find the program.

    Why do some ad networks let you offer incentive programs to get people to click?

    You make it sound alot more unusual than it really is. Plus the fact they are not fake clicks they are real clicks they are just not real leads, and who am I to say they won't turn into real leads? :p

    Please don't get me wrong here I thought i made myself pretty clear.

    I work very hard on an adult natured forum that I can't easily put ads on, I want to tell people other places where they can click ads if they want to contribute instead of sending cash, because I can't use paypal etc and ads are easier anyway. The forum has been growing and it's been holding me down and i'm tired of it. I have been thinking about taking it offline for weeks now but members keep pushing me to keep it up. I said the only way that's happening at this point in my life is if i am getting some $$$ out of it which currently I am not.

    So sorry about that but at least I'm not a spammer and still better than the crap alot of people do. Please don't talk down to me like I'm stupid because I'm not. Some advertisers will pay for impressions alone so yeah, just whatever man. Some advertisers will pay you just to put the ad on your site before anyone clicks and regardless of whether they do or not. I'm not talking millions here like a few bucks a day if even that.

    Sorry if I offended. The thing is that even the pay per lead sites probably still won't allow you to have "click my ads" type statements. They're not going to expect every lead to convert but they'll be watching to see if you meet their averages.

    General advertisers are going to pay per impression so they'll be watching the IP range etc to ensure you haven't got a bot boosting your traffic.

    There will be advertisers for your site, you might just need to see what the other sites are using and you may even need to make direct contact. The OpenX ad management system is great, btw, if you do end up selling ads directly.

    And btw, this is not something I currently do or have ever tried.

    I asked because I've heard of these incentive programs and all these nifty little ways different networks let you advertise, so i thought it could be possible that one of the networks might actually allow it. Whats the difference between encouraged clicks and incentive programs besides the fact that with incentive programs you offer people something for the "fake clicks" ????

    I understand, sorry I'm kind of on edge right now it's been a long day. I'm not trying to scam anything or screw advertisers really bad or anything like that.

    There is no big plans here it's just what i mentioned above, and I think i'll move on from this anyway. Really I already had.

    You were just being honest and straight forward and as I said I'm a bit on edge. But I'm alright, so no biggie.
