Would it be Possible?

I was sitting here for the past few days reading posts made by others and not saying anything. I did, however, come across a comment that was made -- and I must admit, it had me thinking..

While this may be true, would we be at all possible for us to all get on each others sites, and click on an ad? That way, everyone in these massive forums could help contribute to each others success? If we know exactly how these ads work, then why don't we help each other out?

 

I think this is against g adsense rules but if you want to try you can click ads at http://milazzoblog.co.cc and i will tell you if i get banned

 

that would be stealing money from not only google but anyone who advertises their site or product through google and is a dumb idea, great way to get banned.

I hope you are ready to get some negative feedback, because I promise you, you will get plenty on this idea.

make money the honest way, stop looking to cheat the system...google isn't stupid.

 

That's not a good idea at all. We all work hard on our blogs and sites with quality content that brings in ad revenue. There's no need to cheapen and cheat the process by clicking on each other's ads. It wouldn't work anyway.

 

That is a tempting idea, I have to admit. But doing this way would jeopardize the interest of the advertisers, then the adwords, finally us. Without those advertisers, we can not make money from adsense. So it is not a good idea at all.

 

Oh, well I didn't think that it would be illegal, or "cheating" at all. I was moreso wondering if people did such things like that and questioning 'why not?'

I'm glad I posted this, because had I not, I, very well could have attempted to do the wrong thing.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone.

 

Terrible idea.

1. If Google found out about this, it could get the Adsense accounts of you and everyone else involved banned.

2. It could get Digital Point in trouble with Google, and likely have their own Adsense account banned, since the idea would have originated here in the forums.

3. It would cost the advertisers money every time a click is made, harming their profits (you're literally stealing money directly out of their advertising piggy-bank).

4. It would harm Google, since those advertisers would be more likely to switch to other advertising methods, due to a loss in conversion rates.

5. You wouldn't steal money from a cash register, a bank, or your mom's purse. Don't steal it from other people who are trying to make a living at Internet Marketing.

6. Things like that are what give Internet Marketing a bad name, or a "sleezy", "dishonest" or "spammy" reputation.

 

Is it really so hard to play by the rules?
When you checked that box "I agree to these terms," it meant you had read the Adsense rules. You clearly haven't.

In fact, you probably just had many DP users lose respect for you. A lot of us are advertisers. Frauding one of us is frauding all of us in a sense.

Hard work pays off. Finding shortcuts will only get you burned.

 

This is against adsense TOS and adwords member call this as cheating

 

in may not be illegal in the sense of legal action taken against you, but it is no different than going to up any of the people here using adwords and taking the money out of their pockets.

 

its people like that is why i quit advertising on adwords..

 

Dude, relax. I don't know what got you irritated so much.. I was asking a fucking question.. Never did I say that I've tried such a thing, or that I was soon making the attempt. I don't know what your deal is, but you seriously need to get a grip. Why not just remove yourself from the forums, if you don't have any idea how to socialize with newcomers. There seems to be quite an abundance of rules revolving around all these things, and I'm still reading through them. I have not yet finished. If anyone lost respect for me asking an honest question, then I probably wouldn't care much to have their respect in the first place. If you lost respect for me, then cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

Someone close the topic. My question was answered long ago.

 

Hello mate ,your question in theory is not bad but with practice does not work , first of all forgive me if my english is not perfect but i'm not from usa-or uk .

If every blogger from this forum click on other bloggers ads, prolly google will never notice but , if you were an adwertiser you prolly would be very bored by this . becuase you will pay for every click that people generate on your ads "hoping" they will click just because they really wana see your website, but if the clciks are just for help someone or for money , the advertiser will not get any review from this , will just pay and with time prolly suspend the adword and it mean less money for pubblisher.

best regards

 

Yes, I understand that, and I appreciate the way you said that. You're English is awesome and comforting, and eventhough your message is very similar to some of the previous posters, you didn't sound like a complete A-Hole. See, the thing that got me thinking about this so much in the first place is that I knew Google would see it, but I really didn't think they'd care, which I see now that they would.

I see that people are trying to make a successful living online, which is why I'm here as well, and I understand that longevity is pretty much going to be the way of success. By doing something like this, you'd end up cutting a chunk of reputation out of the good name of "Adsense", thus cutting a chunk of profits from the people who depend on Google's Adsense service, which is unfair.

At the same time, there are others who are not as compassionate as I, and who might seriously feel offended by the way certain people attack the ones with simple and honest questions. Questions don't violate TOS, but actions do. I say people should watch how they conduct themselves, and we'd all get along very well. I am kind, but not weak. I do care, but like everyone else, I have that special "boiling point".

Anyway, curse, your message was helpful. Thanks. ^_^

 

Creak - I have not mentioned anything that common sense should have already told you. You could have equally asked, "Can I steal money from a bank for a living?" The way you carry yourself and use vulgarities makes me question how much integrity you can truly hold.

I'm not sure why my disdain for your question surprised you.

CLS1321 - It's actually very illegal. The news recently showed a skit on how one family that was click-frauding their competition was heavily fined to the tune of $750,000. And their records showed that they made about a third of that. So they ended up losing half a million dollars over the ordeal.

templates - Last I read click fraud was about 10% on Google's network. Did you have any other networks you used? I realize it's hard to gauge click fraud percentage; it's a rough estimate I remember reading.

 

It's not a matter of 'did it or did it not suprise me?' It's just something I didn't look at as stealing, or else I would have called it that. If you wish to speak in key words, I did use the word "help". I thought it could be something where we all just help support each other. I did not, at the time look at it for what it really is, otherwise I wouldn't have asked.

You know nothing of how I carry myself, so please halt the false accusations, as they are meaningless. As for that skit that was on the news, I didn't see it. I probably would have discovered the answer to my question had I seen it. No, I've never used any other network such as this, which is also a reason I could have been asking that. You're weird. I'm done debating this nothingness with you.
