| If you applied for adsense
account with intention to cheat and earn fast bucks,
I hope by now you have understood that you shouldn't.
Why? You say. Google is so rich, losing some
pennies won't hurt.
Well. Probably. But when I say you shouldn't, trust
me. You really shouldn't. These are just some reasons:
1. You can't cheat Google
Every once in while, someone will comes out with
ingenious idea to get more money from adsense in less
than honorable ways. He will announce to the whole world,
posting in every forum and tell people how smart he
is. His idea is always untraceable by google, it is
always original, and it always gives easy money.
What he doesn't know is, few months after that,
he will get caught by Google, always. And his adsense
account will be disabled. Always. And he is banned from
ever applying for adsense account again. Always.
Google is a giant, with 2005 revenue of almost US$
10 billions, and profits of more than US$ 1 billion.
A large chunk of this comes from Adwords / Adsense advertisements.
More click fraud means less trust, less advertisers
and less money, to the extent that if unsolved it will
bring collapse to pay-per-click advertisement business.
Now. Do you think Google will let you jeopardize their
billion dollar business model?
They have money and ability to bring together many
of the the smartest and brightest engineers and scientists
on earth, has been doing that and will continue to do
so. How smart do you think you are that you can outsmart
collaborative effort of the brightest brains?
You might be able to pull through for two or three
months, but eventually the fraud detection algorithm
will catch up and you are caught.
2. Cheating = stealing
No matter how you want to justify, face it, cheating
is stealing. You are not only stealing from Google,
but also from Adwords publishers.Majority of these are
are not big companies, but small webmasters depending
on Internet to make a living.
Moreover, even if your morality (or lack thereof)
permits stealing from your own fellow, bear in mind
that stealing is illegal. Regardless of whether it is
done offline or online, a crime is a crime. You might
get jailed for that.
In fact, Google has started to bring adsense fraudsters
to court a few months ago. Some were jailed, and some
others were fined heavily.
3. It is just too easy to earn more, legally
Let's say you managed to cheat adsense undetected.
You don't use clickbot or proxy or click-ring or paid
clickers. You managed to somehow get the clicks from
distributed IP. You don't use pop-ups, spyware, adware.
You are careful that your CTR does not exceed 10%. Still,
your earning is limited. There is a cap you can't cross,
else you will invite unwanted attention to your account.
With so much effort to cover your traces, actually
you will get better result if you concentrate your effort
to improve the website.
Write more contents, submit articles, improve on
your search engine optimisation, improve adsense placement,
and you can get the same earning or even more. Sure
it will take some time, but this is legitimate.
