Why isnt anyone doing this? Or are they?

Ok all fair points. So let's turn this on its head:

What if I were to target a competitor? Rather than clicking on my ads I decided to click on his. Won't he then get his account banned?
 
There is a plugin for mozilla that fakes the user agent(browser and operating system), resolution can be modified, ip can pass proxy test (ie. ipqualityscore.com) but the past of the IP, searches don't represent a normal user, but a bot, so you will be banned in the end. Also they see that the traffic isn't converting at all, useless.
 
LOL...

I've tried clicking few times and NEVER got credited...

IMHO if you are overclicking it, it might be easy way to get your adsense account banned lol...

don't do that, even through proxies/vpn/etc... I think G is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too smart for that.

just my $0.02
 
i would advise to change the boards post-count system and reverse it...
...make em read at least 15 post in a special section before being able to post and so forth.

yeah - we would have to gather the mostFAQ ones but i guess it`ll be worth it in the long run...
 
they have away of getting your ip even through proxies

I think is has something to do with them getting some stuff on your machine... something like permanent cookie or close... basically, impossible to click from machine you've logged on.. not sure about IP's, have not tried to play that game as I value my adsense account and don't want it to get banned...

Seriously, if you are that eager to get clicks, tell your friends to do that in a normal manner... I think G is that smart that it even tracks click time and spent time on target site before it credits you... so just dumb clicks wont work. If I were G'adsense developer, I would make it so and there is nothing that shows that G's adsense people are stupider than me....

Well, my advice would be - if you have your adsense account, dont fuck with the fake clicks - wont get you anywhere.

I have been working on traffic exchange scripts since 2001 and trust me, fake clicks are easy to track. Think what G has today....
 
meanwhile tiny people with weird eyes and funny writing are hammering adsense and other networks with 1mil+ zombie botnets. and i'm not talking about this which is the newbier way. dont be upset, google needs the money they stole from you to pay smart people solve unsolvable problems ;) meanwhile slightly adapted spam techniques from 2006 still work in the SE if you do it right.

all google has is scare tactics and misinformation. if they loose that they probably loose everything.

back to the + points for them - they do have best network of this type and SE even with all the BH stuff going on. fact is they make money, advertisers make money, publishers make money. win-win-win. so even an incident that would affect their image/trust wouldnt crash them because money talks. i have a buddy who was making tens of thousands from adsense with thousands of spam sites. all 100% spam. they would ban individual sites from time to time, he'd read a new domain same day. they never banned his account. this was a while ago so maybe now they're more aggressive but whatever. were there's will there's a way.

I'm sure it still goes on, but as soon as they see un-natural clicking or a pattern of transactions out of the norm on either adsense or adwords they get sus.
A quick search here, Warrior or traffic planet will un-earth many stories of people who have had the rug pulled out of their adsense account or had their adwrods account drained (proving that click spamming must go on)

My personal experience is - as soon as they sniff anything untoward, they ban - and keep the adsense earnings and do not recredit the adwords accounts. I'm sure it can be gamed, but they don't just look at IP, referrer, user agent. They look for patterns over the short, medium and long term and other fancy footwork.

If they get a sniff they ban first and ask questions later.

Scritty
 
Smells like 2005 in here

This is called clickbombing and it's happening quite often.

Google expect you to keep an eye on your account daily and report if you see any invalid clicks / an unreasonably high CTR. I can't post links but there's even a special form for these reports. If you don't report it and just let it ride then your account often gets banned even though you're the victim. (hasn't happened to me but there's been a lot of reports on forums)
 
I got one thing to say, you can't mess with google, unless you are pro in the gime, like doing internet marketing for 10+ years, even then its hard...I mean.. its google... :)
 
If you think that you can trick Google with proxys then you don't know Google.
 
If only it was that easy. lol

btw I still remember crapping myself the first time I accidentally clicked on one of my own adds while tweaking a website thinking I would get banned.
 
I have been lurking here for quite a while and never post, but this thread kind of got me.

I am a member of 3 separate click exchange groups, and know of another 3 of bad quality I avoid. Not only is click fraud easy to get away with, but the biggest earner in my inner circle netted over 1k this month on his own, with minimal work. Even better, 1k is considered small potatoes to the big players Ive been involved with. What I mean to say is, everyone saying its not possible just doesn't know what they are talking about. No offense.

Click fraud can also be automated, and has been in the past with varying degrees of success. I am currently working on a method using perl to do this.

Also of interest to OP: go to wikipedias page for "Click Fraud" do ctrl + f and search on the page for "michael Anthony Bradley." He was arrested for trying to "extort google" after creating software to 100% circumvent googles algorithm to catch click fraudsters.

Hope I helped
 
MAC Address of modem, PC, monitor, shit, probably even your mouse. Google has figured out how to detect all of this. The days of simply changing your IP are a distant oasis, buddy.

Click fraud and any other kind of computer crime is possible, as long as you know what you're doing. But even the savvy internet marketer will have to go to much more difficult lengths to successfully trick google these days. Also, that's not what this forum is about. Black hat does not mean illegal.

Take it from a guy who's been in IM since before CAN-SPAM, hit and run illegal tactics can score you a nice, quick payday, but they do nothing for your overall future. Not to mention, they're unethical and, of course, illegal.
 
Im not trying to push anyone towards it, but it is by no means a short term system. Setting up multiple accounts allows you to always have a few earning money when one is banned. A rotating cycle of accounts is fairly easy.

Exactly !! Totaly agree with this :)
