This thought just came to my mind.. What if Google Adsense banned Digitalpoint? Do they have any other source of income from this forum?
you forgot forum is just an addon to main page and products page http://www.digitalpoint.com/products/
the good reasoning behind a member with such evil mind that what if the click bomb was accidentally targetted on his/her own adsense ID since DP is doing revenue share? or the good reasoning behind the wicked person mind that what if DP is banned from adsense and stop operating, then there will be no forum to join freely for him/her to scam/spam
The thing about that though, is that some people people don't care for Digital Point, and just want to ruin it for everyone else. Besides, on the homepage of the forums, the Revenue sharing is disabled (Only happens in your threads)
I don't think a member can accidently click on his own Adsense because your adsense will not display on the forum when you are viewing it, only other people's adsense will.
trust me even the scammers and spammers do not want to ruin DP so no one one in right mind would want to true but try hiring a network of people or a software to click bomb DP
Don't you people know that DP has a "Google Ban Shield" in place for this very reason. Because of knuckleheads like Believe created bogus threads and possibly click-bombing for hate purposes.
I think the only one who wouldbe affected is Shawn coz he will lost all of his income. Other members still will come but maybe nobody will go and look at the thread "how to avoid being banned from google" XD the worst case, Shawn will implement membership fee when you regist to be the user. XD if he did that sure the members will go away lol.
if dp got banned with adsense this forum will come to end as alternatives wont be able to make that much money and this website needs a lot of server space which costs huge
it won't happen as Google knows DP is a big customer and Google thinks twice before banning such customers...
