Abusing AdSense
Before we can delve into the deeper parts of AdSense and explore how to best make money, we need to first go over some simple ground rules. Whenever a legit money-making program, such as AdSense, is created, there are always people who pop up looking to make the most money possible as fast as possible. In the case of Google’s program, people often do this by creating copied sites that offer no new content and having friends and family click on their banners repeatedly.
In the short-term, it might be frustrating to see three zeros, or another small amount, in your AdSense account. As mentioned in the first post of this blog, AdSense is not a program that should be expected to make small sites a lot of money. But enticing close friends to click on banners is just not a good idea. Google has a responsibility to the advertisers who pay them to bring in legit business.
And Google guarantees the validity of its business by allowing their clients to personally view the IP addresses and locations of those who click on their ads. If one site’s clicks have all come from the same locations or same people, Google will not pay for the work and will most likely ban the cheating AdSense user. Any large amount of money made by one website is sure to be investigated for fraud. This means that any sort of AdSense abuse will, at best, result in a small net worth gain.
Now ask yourself if it is worth a hypothetical small amount of money, say twenty-five dollars, to get banned forever from the best money-making program on the internet. Hopefully your answer is “no.” Have some patience in your work and some faith in your website. Read over their policies and make sure that you can adhere to them before signing up. If you put the work in to make it interesting and get it high in the search results, people will come.
Don’t resort to abusing the system. You won’t succeed.
