Adsense click fraud...The real beneficiary...

[paranoid87]

well i know that Adsense is a great income source for some people and that some people pay their utility bills and all that from just their adsense incomes..what i dont get is this.

ok now one of my freinds got recently banned out of adsense stating that his website was generating a lot of invalid clicks..i do know what you guys might think..that he was clicking on his won ads..well that wasnt the situation..

ok now before this he was having around 89$ in adsense,around 18th of the month,so he didnt recieve the pay check yet..

what he got an email saying that his adense account was disabled and that the money will be returned to the advertisers!!!!!!

I know google is not a small time company which could dump that amount into their account, but lets face it..how can we tell that they have actually refunded that much amount back to the advertisers???

even if they return half of it and keep the other half..say 40$...at any time google has around millions of publishers....and publishers get banned daily..thanks to google..

no doubt..googles stocks are rising daily!

what do you guys think?

I agree, put it this way, the advertiser has been charged for the click and they dont know if its invalid or not, so when google bans someone i think they just keep the money and the advertiser is kept in the dark about it.

No one gets rich being honest these days

yeah true..and no wonder google has not even stopped small time publishers from joining into the program..

some other PPC and CPM sites will let you sign up only if you have huge amount of traffic and stuff like that...google is just so kind on newbies! makes me wonder why...

[bon300187]

Well how google sees it, say the cost of the click gets split 50-50 between the publisher and google.

The publisher doesnt get paid until they reach $100 so by that time google has made $100 off of you, then they look a your account, if you have been doing fishy stuff they ban you, keep the money so they have made $200 from you and not done a thing.

Google is in a win win situation because they charge the advertiser in the first place, then take half of the publishers revenue then more then likely keep it if the publisher gets banned.

So clever how it works

Hi.

I agree with you. That's a fraud you are right. I found a disturbing weakness about the google AdSense program. I discovered that a stranger can close your account. To find out how you account could be closed by a stranger, see my post on this website

The trouble is that until somebody comes up with something better we are all stuck with it, however, they are so big now it will take a real genius to do it.
