I have heard people doing click fraud are caught and their adsense accounts suspended very neatly these days. Is that true? Anybody who still manages to stay below the radar?
 


just a tip: if adsense suspends your account. Then your last (possibly first) check may not get mailed at all...
 
I can usually get away with 3-5 clicks a day. What method you using? The extra $2.50 a day helps in the long run!

I'd rather stick to 1 or 2, but I agree. $2 a day seems small, but that's an extra $60 a month, which is good enough to buy some linkwheels or SEnuke blasts from BST :)
 
Click fraud isn't worth it unless you're operating an international ring of click fraud focused on search feeds, third-tier engines, and random ad networks. Those guys push an amazing amount of fraud, it's unbelievable. I was investigating $xx,xxx of click fraud a few years ago at the same time that I accidentally removed password protection from my personal US proxy server for 48 hours - my proxy was getting tens of thousands of hits per hours from Russian & Chinese IPs. The traffic was going to all sorts of random legitimate and illegitimate ad providers... including the campaign that I was investigating the fraud on.

In the end, I got a list of sites to block & enough evidence for the company I was working for to win a lawsuit re:nonpayment for the fraud traffic. Adsense click fraud isn't worth shit & unless you plan on getting in with Russian criminal gangs, don't even try.

That being said, if you do want to get in with the Russian criminal gangs... well, the feds will probably be knocking on your door sooner or later.
 
there's a click fraud ring going around on 4chan lately. a little how to guide where everyone makes a blog and signs up for adsense, and click each others' ads.

it would really suck if you were running on content and a bunch of people decided to make those sites around something you're targetting.
 
I have known people who earn upto 15K $ a month doing click fraud. I never tried it myself because I think white hat is the right hat. Why should we cheat google when google does so much for us? I mean sends us traffic provides us free email and stuff. I just don't want to break their trust.
 
Here's my take on the argument:

Can you make a quick buck with Clickfraud? Sure.

Can you make a sustainable, long-term, stable business that has value and get super rich off of it? No.

You are at the whims of the platform you're defrauding and one change in their algorithm could potentially destroy your "business."
 
I have got 8 checks so far by asking peopel to click on it. But I am not too much greedy I am earning slowly. It take 2 months to reach 100 buts its ok for me.

This is like just a bad joke right? You can't possibly be serious.

I'll have to contact your Aunt Flo and Granny and put a stop to this right away. Which trailer park are you in again?

Anybody who is even remotely doing anything to do with Click Frauds are the scums of the the worst kinds.. Bottom crawlers who eats shit for breakfast. They are not defrauding Google. Google stills gets a cut MOFOs. It is legitimate people doing PPC who are being skimmed. They should all die ghastly deaths. Burn in hell.. and their penis should fall off and all that... I spend a whole day teaching a guy how to set up a site, how to find keywords, optimize the pages, where to find source for article ideas, the basics of link building.. well everything to get him started.. He spend the night writing 10 articles on one of his old sites that he has access to. Added Adsense.

Few days later he came later with a Big smile. He sad it works.. He made 10 bucks. he asked a few of his friends to click and he got money... I flew off the handle. Called him a bottom feeder.. and all that... not sure why I flew off the handle.. but then I realize it is not the organize criminals but also this million people who signs up and clicks to see if it works...
 
Opening a thread about click-frauds in a forum full of PPC marketers?

GTFO!
