The Cleverest’s Google Adsense Fraud
↓ Sponsored Links
Sounds like a joke to me, the publish of the blog – The Cleverest made a video of himself asking the visitors to click on the ads on his blog. His video just begged for publicity. His message: Click the Google ads. No, really. Now. Now again. Now again…
Hi everyone – I’d like to try a little experiment. Right now, I want you to click over there on the Google-sponsored link (it’s up and to the right – directly underneath the “Help the economy” header). No excuses – if you’re reading this now you’re obligated to click, or there’ll be big trouble. (And of course, because I’m under legal obligation to say so, please seriously consider purchasing the product or service that you are directed to.) I’m curious to try this because even after my diatribe requesting that people click the link (see previous entry), I’ve only received 5 clicks. I’ll post the results of this experiment in a few days, and any profit I receive (it’s only a few cents per click) will go directly toward getting YOU drunk the next time we hang out.
Now, the problem is that he didn’t click on the ads, what if your enemies wanted to sabotage you and click on your ads for few thousand times, trigger an alert in Googleplex to disable your account for a mistake that is not yours. Sounds scary.

Why anybody would want to cut off the simplest form of website revenue is beyond me, though?

March 28th, 2006Why did I do it? For the one thing that’s more valuable than currency. Irony.
Glad you had a laugh,

November 4th, 2008Hi,
I have had a clear case of revenue being stolen/going missing from the ads I posted on my free e-guides site.
Google Adsense is a con and so are many of the others and I think the US law enforcement agencies should look into this and lock-up the culprits.
It is so damaging to my business plan, that it is likely I will shut the web site with the e-guides down or move it to another e-commerce model which will certainly not involve online ads.
Google have made billions doing this and when you look at it from the legal perspective, it is simple fraud, which I do believe is against the law…
