well, it’s not like making money online would end if PPC ended, it may be a little harder sure, but there will be something else to take its place.

That’s interesting what you say about how google doesn’t talk alot about click fraud… because they could very well be participants eh?

Better idea — smart pricing. For all I know Google may already be doing this. IPs that are clicking lots but never convert get discounted to zero.

Google doesn’t talk alot about click fraud for good reason.

There are websites starting to pop up that are “Adsense Exchanges”, where you view websites and click the adsense, and in return they send people to your site to click the adsense. Fortunatly this method will be very easy for ad empires to detect, but still there are people out there always looking for a way to rip other people off..

That’s also probably one reason people get the dreaded “Your adsense account has been cancelled” email. >:-(

I’m getting error on that link, (tried it without referer as well).

“The page that you requested was not found
( or maybe we decided to not let you have it… ”

It’s a pity there is so much fraud with adult sponsors ripping affiliates off

I’d prefer the poor in the world to gain through fraud than rich pricks getting even richer by ripping off poor people.
