    Hi,
    i made this (it is about a hypothetical ad clicker - hope ot will not be used against google!) :
    d3straffic.d3snetwork.com to attract people searching for automatic clicking.
    do you thing i will have any kind of problem from google?
    I am just a programmer and thought that this would attract cheaters that can possibly click on the adsense ads , i do not care what they do or if they use the code, i just had an idea and i am perfectly legit.
    what do you think about it? I donot want to get into trouble:)

    Whether it's technically legal or not, it's immoral, IMHO.

    My guess is that Google can & will get you, though.

    it is not immoral, it is an exploit made for scientific pruproses, i am not providing a software, just some ideas and some source code, also i am not selling anything.

    can someone just tell me if i am violating any TOS ? (in their opinion)
    Also I am not trying to provoke anyone here:)

    IMHO you would get banned if you placed adsense on that page. Why? I couldn't tell you, but I'm sure one of the thousands of high priced google lawyers could come up with something.

    But, remember, this is only my opinion.

    It's legal if you mean, law wise.

    But it breaks the Adsense TOS.

    Yo moron, yes, you, the stupid moron who wants to help cheaters. It's invalid clicks stupid. Try using that tiny pea sized brain of yours and you'll see that invalid clicks are against the rules.

    And the moron admits right on the page that it's not legal and the moron comes here trying to get us to say it's legal. What a stupid moron.

    **Reports the page to Google.**

    why do you call me a moron?
    i do not help cheaters, i am just showing a weakness of google ! maybe google can see the page and take measures against it.
    the clicks are not invalid!, there is no way you can tell if a click is valid or not in adsense. even if my dog clicked an ad, they cannot decide if he was interested or not:)

    in the page i say it is not legal for the people bound by the TOS, of course it would not be legal to construct a program using simple code snipets i created in combination with adsense, but it is perfectly legal to express my opinion or provide code snippets or ideas.
    i am not a company, i am not selling anything.

    anyway I will rephrase the text in the website for those people that are feeling threated.

    ok, done, the page does not mention google or adsense any more, the code snipets can be used to click any link contained in an IFRAME, what do you think now?
