AdSense Fraud
When you really think about it, there is actually no
legal way to tell if web publishers such as Google
do get a fair share from the AdSense profit ratio.
Still, one cannot deny the fact that the Adsense
program is quite helpful in generating revenues both
for personal consumption and for online traffic.
The sad news, however, is that there are malicious
elements in the online world that see the highly
lucrative Adsense program as one big milking cow.
They make use of their rich knowledge about high
technology in order to 'put one over' the
unsuspecting advertiser and the trusting website
owner.
Indeed, there are people, as well as sites, who
subscribe to AdSense fraud for the sole objective of
sharing Adsense revenues the improper and illegal
way. They employ several technical methods like
using proxies or anonymous addresses before they
click on the targeted ads. The fraudulent techniques
also include the use of automated devices and
robots. In some instances, manual clicking is also
resorted to.
Nevertheless, not all Adsense frauds experience
success, especially for amateur fraudsters who
simply click on several Google ads relentlessly. In
such cases, they fail to take into account that
Google has a regular inspection period every 45
days. Once the website makes the standard
inspection, it will instantly notice numerous clicks
that originate mostly from one or two IP addresses.
When this happens, then the fraudster is unmasked,
and his expected cash sent back to the virtual
world.
Admittedly, AdSense fraud poses a serious threat on
the relationships existing among online advertisers,
publishers, and web users. Nevertheless, it is good
to know that sites like Google, as well as
individual online users, remain vigilant whenever
they encounter incidences implying AdSense fraud.
