Click Ads to Support Your Blog?

Filed in: Make Money Online, Weblog — August 2nd, 2007

I came across a poor blogger asking community members to visit his blog and click on the advertisements on his blog, especially the Advertlets and Nuffnang ads.

Here is his announcement with title “Please support my blog!”:

Please give me some support! If can every time you visit my blog please click on the advertisment! The advertlets and nuffnangs! I earn from every click I get from you guys! Thanks!

I am not sure how many kind people helped him by clicking the ads. Based on his visitor counter which read 704, I guess he probably get a few bucks but it is too little to be able to cash the money.

How I wish I could tell him that it just doesn’t work. None of the rich bloggers ask their readers to support them by clicking the ads. Furthermore, such act is disallowed by any Cost-Per-Click (CPC) program.

Google AdSense, the greatest CPC program in the world, is known to banning publishers who encourage clicks on CPC ads without mercy.

Recently, both Advertlets and Nuffnang introduced CPC ads. I am curious to know how effective they are to detect fraud clicks, and how strict they are to those “support-me” publishers.

Do you have friends playing the click-n-pay game? Do they get caught?

    Begging for clicks does such a disservice to your advertisers. They will not be impressed by just getting lots of click through traffic if none of them can be converted into buyers…

    It is a waste of effort, and illegal too.
