Many scammers spend sleepless nights thinking of new ways to cheat adsense and unfortunately a handful are able to succeed at this.
Here are 7 ways Google Adsense catches scammers and fraudsters, if you have ever entertained the thought then the following reasons will make you realise that its not worth it. It is better to concentrate on consistently posting quality content.
1. When the IP address of the clicker matches the IP address of the publisher then this is sheer stupididy, the TOS of Google Adsense prohibits this and if this is the best plan you have come up with then dont give up your day job!
2. When the CTR which is the click through rate is higher than 10% this flags the publisher for a potential audit. Seldom does the CTR get above 10% even for the best websites. When this happens Google may close your account down.
3. Cookies are tracked by Google Adsense too, if you log into your google adsense account and then start clicking on your ads from different computers then this is asking for trouble. Google employs some of the best hackers to find ways to hack google so any lame ideas will not measure up.
4. When the ads being clicked for a split second before going to the next ad shows google that you are disinterested in the actual site, this rings alarm bells at the adsense HQ and when it is determined that no site ever loaded properly its time to ban your account.
5. Google sees and hears everything, it can track all the impression it gets and the location of all the clicks. If most of your traffic comes from America and all your clicks come from the UK then this just shows that you are in fact cheating the system. Its just not that worth it.
6. When the traffic source is poor yet you still get high views on your sites then this must mean that you are artificially creating searches that find your site rather than using natural searches. When Google sees that the Traffic to your site is nonsense then it will slap you with a ban.
7. Requesting people to visit your sponsors link is the most absurdest thing you can do, not only is it against the TOS but it also highlights how desperate you are, when google find out you will become even more desperate.
So now that we how the cheats are caught, but we also know that some cheaters get away with it - This begs the question "How do they do it?". All I can say is its not worth it.
