The Cleverest’s Google Adsense Fraud

March 28, 2006 · Filed Under Contextual Advertising · 5 Comments 

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.
