My friend was telling me about how you can get someone's AdSense account banned if you keep repeatedly clicking their AdSense ads, like a couple thousand times. I thought it was BS. Figured I would ask though.
Why would you want to do that? It is possible that it could get the owner of the site banned if Google suspects that the owner of the site is responsible for it.
yeah, first it's stealing. so if you want to steal you could just go to the grocery store and shoplift. second, anytime one person clicks a thouand (woah) times?! That would attract attention.
Ok this is a gud question, but there must be some solution for that problem. Any 1 knows how to prevent their Adsense account to be get banned by the above method???
Google is not going to ban a site because a visitor clicked on an ad a thousand times, but they will discount that click. In other words, the webmaster will not get paid for the click.
what visitor would click a thousand times? I don't think anyone clicks on the same link a thousand times regardless. I have heard of people being banned for click fraud, but I dont' know what their parameters are to measure such an issue.
don't underestimate the power of revenge. i can think of people i've met in my life who would click a link a thousand times if they thought they could screw someone they hate. that's spite for you.
