It is funny how people think they are being so creative by clicking their own AdSense ads. So, here is one guy who thought he’d be sneaky by clicking his own AdSense ads - across multiple sites, no less - while at a Morrison’s Supermarket in the UK.
SEO Idiot caught this guy in action while he was at Morrison’s last week, and fortunately for the voyeur in all of us, he took a pic of the guy and then twittered it :) He said “he appeared to be clicking ads on a number of sites - they didnt look like decent paying ads either - prob paid for his sandwich”. And he appeared nervous while doing… and rightly so!
So next time you are passing by that internet cafe or using a wireless network outside of home/work, and think the coast would be clear to click a few ads, well, you just never know who may be watching! Now, I know SEOIdiot did not report this publisher, but if you do the same thing, you might not be so lucky. Not to mention the fact that the Google click fraud filters will probably raise the red flag on this one, especially if this is his daily lunch break activity.
Cue the “I got banned for no reason at all!” complaint

Yeah, you will never know who can caught someone who’s doing the Clicking-your-own Adsense. Well for people who is doing that, goodluck. Good thing google can flag those.
This is funny. If you think no one is watching you clicking your own #adsense ads, well, you are dumb. http://is.gd/lWK3
Probably the guy just wanted to earn for a hot dog… Poor boy…
Never click your own ads… If you think you can outsmart Google, well, you can’t… They’ll win, even if they need a little help from outsiders
He looks like a regular to me. Doubt its his first week. (If this pic is even true lol)
How does anyone know if he was clicking on the ads on his own site. Too much of an assumption. Maybe he was doing research on gynecomastia or herpes and didn’t want to do it from home or from work. Not fair to jump on this guy without proof.
The person who took the photo watched the guy click multiple AdSense ads on multiple sites… not really what your average surfer does
This guy might want to sue Google like Aaron has done
That’s only one of a few possibilities.
He could have been clicking on competitor’s adsense links, mulishly clicking to get someone’s adsense suspended.
Could have been he was clicking on a friends links, “thinking” he was doing the friend a favor…
Unless someone approached him and “asked” what he was doing, you cannot say for certain, only speculate at best
i don’t see anything wrong with this guy. I’ve found some companys that are paying surfers to click .
So by just clicking your own ads you are somehow working. Works should be paid no?
:))
I think clicking on your own AdSense adds is very counter productive. I have an ambition of earning at least $10,000 per month from AdSense, I wonder how many of my own adds I will need to click to get to that.
Clicking my own adds dose not make sense to me at all. Its better I learn from successful people, follow blogs, etc and learn from them.
Any way, I feel for the guy in the story, I understand how it feels like to want to earn from AdSense and not knowing what to do to make progress.
What are the chances of being seen though? It’s not something I’d do anyway because it would take too long to make it worthwhile. I’ve also heard about the company’s who pay people to click their ads - there’s a feeling of desperation about such tactics.
Adsense ads are not going to make living, but if I open my marketing to everywhere, it might gain a lot of people for google, but what did I get, I struggled one month, saw my site got 0 click, which means google did horrible to us by those game page, none of answer is what I look for, better tell people we have to struggle for everything, struggle to find page, struggle to register, struggle to get coding and everything else, struggle to make sure if ads really work or not, struggle fall in tricky pages switch to each other just to make us sick! Better honestly tell people that all you want is sitting behind to collect money if some of us can struggle out under such game! What a nasty human being and behavior this society created! That is how what happened now! nobody can live, and those who scheme to get rich might be buried suddenly, who knows! god help this nasty human being!
People are so stupid, watching people click or not is not big deal, the deal is we never going to make anything, only spend tons of time let google engineers to play around, to testing if they can set nobody works there, only a few engineer to make million/billion dollar, use people as stupid for their free gain! But a business with such manner anyway one day is going to fail! my word always become true!
