Reasons Why You Should not Rely on Invalid Clicks
If you’re into
making money online,
then you’ve probably been introduced to Google AdSense, one of the
easiest ways to make money online. But of course, you should know the
basic fact that to
make money online with AdSense; you will need to generate a good amount of traffic and quality.
But what do some people ask when introduced to Google AdSense?
Here are two of the questions asked by new AdSense users:
- “Can I make money online by clicking my own ads?”
- “Is making money online by clicking my own ads from different computers and IP addresses possible?”
Well,
the answer to those questions is the same and it’s “no”. It only takes
commons sense that a big company like Google is not so stupid to allow
you to start making money online if you play around with their program.
Though it may be true that many will try and do this and probably earn
money from it for a few days, they won’t be able to continue doing so in
a long term. If invalid clicking goes on, then sooner or later, Google
will detect them, and once Google catches you, you won’t be able to
make money with AdSense any time in the future. Why would you risk you Google
AdSense account for a limited time of earning a little amount of money?
Click Fraud
Here are some guidelines to avoid invalid clicks and AdSense bans:
Read their Terms and Conditions
Most
applicants for AdSense will ignore this part because it will take a bit
of time and, well, because they’re just too lazy to read a lengthy
piece of document. But to ensure that you don’t make any mistakes while
on your way to
make money online with
AdSense, you should read their terms and conditions before even applying.
Know what an Invalid Click is
According
to Google, “Invalid click activity consists of any clicks or
impressions that may artificially inflate an advertiser’s costs or a
publisher’s earnings, and for which we decide not to charge the
advertiser. This includes, but is not limited to, clicks or impressions
generated by a publisher clicking on his own ads, a publisher
encouraging clicks on his ads, automated clicking tools or traffic
sources, robots, or other deceptive software.”
Read a bit, and
it’s actually self-explanatory. You click your own ads – it’s an invalid
click. You outright tell people to click on your ads – it’s an invalid
click. Using bots to gain click-traffic – it’s an invalid click.
Generally, invalid clicks are the things you’ll want to avoid if you’re
really serious about making money online.
Know that Google Detects Invalid Clicks
Of
course Google will want to protect their detection methods and systems,
and will not disclose their tracking system. So to play safe, you
shouldn’t “think” that Google detects invalid clicks, you should “know”
that Google can actually detect invalid clicks. Of course, you can use
banned accounts as proof.
To conclude on this topic, you
shouldn’t risk your way of making money online for just a limited time
of earning a bit of cash if you can make money in a safe, easy and
consistent manner. Online work is still work, so you’ll have to use
strategies, don’t rely on invalid clicks, rely on quality and real
traffic. Money only comes after that. Be aware and earn money the legit
way, good luck!
