Earning more by cheating AdSense or Yahoo! Publisher?

donot cheat adsense-get fooled.

First keep in mind you can't cheat google adsenese.

First I ask: why do people keep asking me how to cheat an advertising program to earn more?

This night I received an e-mail from a Chinese IP. I have nothing at all with any people, if you are from this country please don’t feel offended. But that’s the truth, period.
Basically, the sender wanted to hire me to write a script, in a language chosen by me, which can fool AdSense.

The beginnings

Take John Doe, a randomly chosen guy from the street of any city. He just started to explore the internet. The other day he found an article which describes how cool and awesome the AdSense program is. He rapidly types in the Google search bar: “apply for an adsense account”, clicks the top result, fills in the registration form, then waits for approval. In the approval e-mail the Google AdSense team clearly ask the new publisher to read the AdSense TOS, which is ignored by most of the publishers. This is the situation with Mr. Doe, too.
He accesses his account, and in the bottom of the page he sees a link to the AdSense blog, where he learns one two things about how to start earning money with AdSense, then he finds a post: an Australian man’s success with AdSense. “WOW”, he thinks.
He is one step away to receive some fat checks, what he only needs is a website. Which is not a problem nowadays. He rapidly creates a Blogger account and starts creating, adding AdSense ads to the content, adding an AdSense search bar and publishing, and publishing, and publishing until it hurts.

The waiting

Mr. John Doe, our new friend, published 20 articles in a matter of a few hours. He is very satisfied with his performance and he thinks about the wealth AdSense will bring him.
He checks his AdSense earning every 30 minutes. But the report shows no earning yet.
The next day he checks his account again, but still no luck. And this goes this way for days. After a few weeks he gets very disappointed, he thinks he was fooled and the whole AdSense program is not good for anything.

The Idea

He rapidly realizes that there is no earning because no user clicked the ads yet. So why not help a bit? He decides to click some of the ads on his own site. 3 clicks only, just to see if it functions.
After a few hours he checks his account and even though he sees some clicks, they list no earning. “Oops”, he thinks.
But as a good webmaster, he doesn’t give up! He thinks about new methods.
A quick check in his messenger results an extremely good idea: he asks his friends to click the ads on his blog. Everybody reports back the click, there were friends who clicked more than once, what are the friends for if not to help each other?

A few hours later, he checks his Adsense account and realizes that the ice has been broken: 100 click in the matter of the few minutes made him $10.
The next day he asks again his friends, the next day again, and again, and this goes this way for a week.
After that week, in the morning he opens up his mail client and there’s a mail whom the AdSense team:

Hello John Doe,

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

A publisher’s site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including but not limited to clicks generated by:

- a publisher on his own web pages
- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
- automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US
https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

The final word

There is a very good reason Google wrote the adsense program policies and the reason is not that they wanted to bore the hell out of the publishers.
Google AdSense can exist because AdWords exist. Basically, when you see an AdSense ad, that’s an AdWords advertiser’s ad, and if somebody clicks on an ad, the AdWord advertiser will have to pay for that ad.
If you are involved in a fraudulent click, basically you stolen money from an advertiser. Robbing others is not acceptable in any society.

Google tries to improve its services. For them a better service means more money. If they disabled an AdSense account, they did so for a very good reason. The easiest practices to earn the most with AdSense was covered in many articles and the basic idea behind them is to have good and a lot of text content. If a website or a blog has a lot of quality content, it will have visitors too, it’s just a matter of time this happens and when happens, the AdSense account will not show only zeros.
