Adsense Trick in Software Download Sites
Filed in: Adsense Tips, Google, Make Money Online, Web — January 8th, 2006
Recently, I found that many China download websites are using an illegal Adsense trick.
Translation:
Note
1. Please click on the blue link in the above ads
2. Click the back button to refresh this page
3. Click the download linkFriend, please click the ads once thank you.
The messages ask visitors to click on their Adsense ads, which is against the Google Adsense Program Policies.
My two cents
The trick should work very well. Visitors might think that they are required to click on the ads before they’re able to download anything, but it is a bad trick! So bad that it can cause the author’s Adsense account to get banned.
When I explained to my friends about how I get paid by Google Adsense, they always asked the same question — “If you click on the ads many times, can you earn a lot?”. I think many new Adsense publishers thought about it too, but the fact is that you will get banned sooner or later if you cheat.
You don’t see anyone getting big money from Google by asking others to click on ads, do you?
Be honest if you want to play the game.

I totally agree with you Liew, getting visitors and revenue with Adsense is hard, but when you start getting paid and know you’ve earned it honestly, it’s rewarding.

it’s not just china, many malaysian webmasters had done this, and now they have been banned.
Got to play the fair game, you’ll feel the pain especially if you’ve advertise
via adwords before.

This is not a trick. This is a way to be banned from AdSense.

Easy money never lasts. Play by the rules and I bet they didn’t read the TOS.

Is Google mandarin adsense good enough, or it still showing PSA most of the time?
January 10th, 2006 at 4:08 pm
@Gazard: the number of chinese adsense ads have increased a lot compared to year 2005. But it is still quiet frequent to get PSA.

Hi,
regarding the link “http://www.noodleware.com/adsense/”
As i know one of the term of the google is you must be the owner of the websites to do adsense program.
He is trying to do a reselling program and hope to earn from adsense thru his client websites. This is completely wrong.
Another thing they do it wrongly is he or his programmer do click on the ad themself to do the testing. This is very inapporiate because they trying to earn while they testing. There is a tool called adsense preview tool where he can view thier competitor websites without click on the real adsense link. But they choose to test from the real adsense link which i think is a big mistake.
For the moment i have receive my 4th pay check, even it is a small amount. every check hit usd 100. but i dun have any problem with google.
You must be honest to making the business happen.
This is my personal opinion
No offences just share the experience.
Regards,
mr.eric
