Sick Blogging A Lister Commits Click Fraud

Friday, November 30th, 2007

A-List blogging celebrity Darren Rowse, author of the prestigious blog ProBlogger.Net shocked the entire world to it’s core today by committing and writing about click fraud !!!

Doddgy moustached Rowse (87) an Australian (say no more) commited numerous heinous acts of click fraud in an attempt to expose inconsistencies with the adsense programme. So how did he test his hypothesis - yes he clicked on the ads with no intention of giving the advertiser a sale or action. That’s click fraud in my book!!

ONLY JOKING, it just gives me a chance to be a tabloid journalist for a few minutes.

What Mr Rowse (not 87) is doing is highlighting the inconsitencies in the recently announced reduction in the click area. I discussed this in a news items entitled Google Tighten Adsense Ads in an Attempt to Reduce Unintentional Click Fraud.

Darren talks about how the Premier partners in the Adsense programme including Google’s own Gmail, Engadget and About.Com are not subjected to the reduced area and possibly reduced click through create by this change. Full details of his shock expose (there I go again) can be seen at ProBlogger.

On another note if the sites which were ruthlessly attacked by Darren want help to identify the fraudulent clicks, please contact me
