Asking People to Click on Ads

Posted by pinoyblogero on September 11, 2007 · 2 Comments 

[Edited the title. Google might think that I am the one who is asking for clicks. Thanks to Benj for pointing it out]

“Bilang handog pasasalamat sa paglink sainyong blog, manyari lamang na pakiclick ng patalastas (ads) sa itaas. Walang mawawala sainyo. God Bless you.
”Ops, wait lang, I’m not telling you to click on MY ads. The message above was from a post on a seemingly new blog called PinoyRecords. What the blogger did was he linked up to over 500 blogs and asked them to click on his Adsense advertisement in return for the free link. Talk about being desperate. [Check the post here]
I give free links almost everyday here in PinoyBlogero to blogs that I think are worth linking to. I sometimes put links within posts that are related to the topic that I am talking about and I also do a weekly recap of the blogosphere every week that are full of links to other blogs and blog posts.

When I link to other blogs, I don’t ask anything in return. I don’t ask them to link back nor do I ask them to click my ads as a sign of thanks.

The case with PinoyRecords is obviously another way of fooling people so that one could earn easy money out of Adsense. Such an act falls under the activity of click fraud which is defined as:

“…a type of internet crime that occurs in pay per click online advertising when a person, automated script, or computer program imitates a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad, for the purpose of generating a charge per click without having actual interest in the target of the ad’s link.” [source: Wikipedia]

    Thanks for linking pinoyrecords. The pinoyrecords site is very informative which is about Philippine’s rich history, tourist attractions, its ‘accomplishments’, Philippine World Records and others. Without your blog, I would not be able to learn this interesting site. I would surely link this very interesting and informative site without expecting any return.

    Regarding the adsense link, I’m trying to check the so called 500 links but I could not find one. Some bloggers (including myself) do not know about this adsense rule because of the focus to join adsense without reading the terms and conditions. I learned about it because it was a previous topic on clicking adsense in the yahoogroups of pinoyblogosphere. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Thanks for your good blog, pinoyblogero!
