AdSense Click Exchange : How to Cheat Google AdSense

A while back I created a FaceBook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=30214756404&v=info called AdSense Secrets. Quickly got bored of FaceBook (didn’t make me any money) and never promoted the FaceBook group. It managed to generate about 800 members and at times had AdSense click exchange discussions, basically people trying to make easy money by getting others to click their AdSense ads (AKA fraudulent AdSense clicks), usually using free BlogSpot blogs.

I’ve never clicked my own AdSense ads on purpose (in 6 years of using AdSense I’ve accidentally clicked ads, but not often) or asked others to click my AdSense ads because I know Google AdSense exists to make money for Google and the people behind the Google AdSense program are working hard to stop publishers defrauding their advertisers out of their hard earned money.

Make Money Online Revenue Report : 2nd Quarter 2010

This is the second quarterly revenue report, for over a year I made monthly revenue reports, but they take quite a bit of time, so switched to quarterly in 2010.

Total online revenue $19,641.62 ($215.84 a day)

This make money online revenue report does not include earnings through my SEO business, AdSense themes sold at SEO/AdSense Themes or any investments, so ONLY affiliate and advertising (AdSense type programs) revenue.

2nd Quarter 2010 Make Money Online Revenue

Previous quarters revenue is listed in italics to the right

Google AdSense Revenue : $9,422.37 $3,780.85
Chitika Revenue : $0.16 $80.36
Clicksor Revenue : $3.99 $805.17
ClickBank : $562.31 $777.21
Amazon + Shareasale : $85.87 $61.14
Private Ads : $9,566.92 $9,624

I started this as a comment to an article at viperchill.com about WordPress SEO (something I know a lot about), but I tend to get very wordy so turned it into my own article. Also you’ll note the weird title for this article “Viperchill.com, SEO Nofollow PR Sculpting, RSS Feeds and Social Networking!” it kind of went all over the place

Viperchill.com Viral Marketing Website

One of my regular readers (Mark) made a comment on the article Making Money Online with a Funny Jokes Site? and referred to viperchill.com (which I’d not seen before). The sites by a young man (early twenties I think) that’s getting a lot of traffic, but unlike my network of sites (90%+ of my traffic is from Google and other major search engines) his traffic seems to be mostly from social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter) and lots of RSS feed subscribers and his search engine traffic is relatively low. See his recent months stats breakdown for one of his domains viperchill.com:

I own a very popular Funny Jokes site and in the past made money from it using AdSense. Unfortunately Google AdSense doesn’t like the racist jokes on the site and have blocked the domain from showing AdSense ads!

It’s a very sad fact that some of the most popular jokes SERPs are racist jokes SERPS like Black Jokes, White Jokes, etc… Before adding racist jokes as an SEO test (site had been running for years and never crossed my mind to add them) it was seeing around 3,000 visitors a day. After adding racist jokes it doubled the traffic to over 7,000 visitors a day and currently it’s regularly breaking 10,000 visitors a day!!!

I create Search Engine Optimized WordPress Themes and include both the keywords meta tag and description meta tag in the WordPress themes mostly because customers expect them.

As an experienced SEO consultant I know meta tags today (2010) have little search engine value beyond blocking search engines from indexing pages, caching them etc…, the keywords meta tag for example is pretty much ignored by major search engines, Google in particular ignores the keywords meta tag completely.

That being said the description meta tag has some value because Google MAY use it as the description for a pages SERPs and though it won’t increase a pages rankings it might increase the number of clicks from a Google search if the description is written well.

Make Money Online Revenue Report : 1st Quarter 2010

Affiliate Revenue for February 2010

January 2010 revenue is listed in italics to the right

Google AdSense Revenue : $1,075.48 $1,075.97
Chitika Revenue : $33.04 $35.42
Clicksor Revenue : $346.34 $122.39

Total affiliate type revenue for January was $4,883.78 ($157.54 a day). That’s broken my 6 months in a row increasing revenue streak It’s down about $140 compared to December, but still $80 more than the month before that.

You can see from the numbers below everything is similar to the previous month except Clickbank which is down about $130. At the beginning of January I had a lot of no sales days: only ONE sale in the first 10 days of the month!!!

Just a bad month for Clickbank!

As always this revenue does not include the money I make through my SEO business, themes sold at SEO/AdSense Themes or any investments, so ONLY affiliate and advertising (AdSense type programs) revenue.

I wrote a recent comment on my SEO/AdSense Ready WordPress Themes site in response to a commenter saying my AdSense income is a lot of money to someone living in India.

If you read my comment you’ll probably pick up I’ve recently had my eyes opened to how hard it must be for people living in places like India to afford my SEO WordPress AdSense themes: I sell them for only £10 (under $20) each which is cheap for someone looking to make money in the UK/USA (if you can’t make the £10 back online in a month you aren’t cut out to make money online).

I’ve never seen myself as an entrepreneur even though I obviously am an entrepreneur. Was thinking back on my life and it’s surprising how long it took to start my first real business (~28 years old).

My business and work history

My elder brother at school age worked on a milk round and sold scratch lottery type tickets door to door. At around the age of 13-14 I also sold the scratch lottery tickets door to door and would make a few quid a week. Interesting fact: I realised the winning lottery tickets had print errors (the winners had all been printed on the same machines ) and I could pick out all the £1 and £5 winners out of the packs I sold!
