Invalid clicks tick off Groogle "it's zero tolerence"

===@the above link should be amusing click to see why...@===
Be wary of invalid clicks... waz that you ask? Well I didn't know what they were I thought more of getting a dead page. When I joined AdSense 10 weeks ago I was encouraged by the success of people I knew to take the time and place the ads strategically around my websites. Groogle would do the rest and after a while I would receive a nice check from them to pay me for my effort. Sounds good in theory.

I have say one hundred pages and after 9 weeks I calculated I was doing about 10$ a week and it was getting near steady 2.0%CTR and sometimes more on some channels. Certainly I was not gonna click on my own site to make money that's for sure and not with my IP although sometimes I just couldn't resist finding out who the advertisers really were. So I copied the link on a right mouse click and pasted it my browser, so then I was able to see who was bidding on my site so maybe I could improve my situation by delisting some of the advertisers that weren't doing my campain any good. Guess what? those were invalid clicks.

So when it got close to payday Groogle "reviewed my account and noticed a percentage of clicks came from my new IP since I changed carriers a month ago, or was it my old IP.." does it make any difference how you click? Guess not it's zero tolerence.. it seems that now my IP generates invalid clicks for the AdCents Program. So if I visit any other site hosting the program and click for 10 minutes to be informed about college education, car insurance, mortgage brokers, stuff that pays 1$ a click and click and click again will my clicks be invalid? Will any anonymous site get charged back for clicks made by my IP. Is it true that one man can make a difference? Where is the logic? Why are clicks occasionally on my ads deemed invalid but accepted as valid clicks on any other Groogle participant's website. What if some one was to choose any advertiser and click the hell out of their little ad do you think it would add up? I mean if someone made a campain out of it would they notice? It's a good question to ask about now eh uncle Groogle? Inquiring minds want to know..

Anyone else see themselves here? ok let's talk leave a comment below tell us if your website has been the victim of invalid clicks. Has any of the readers ever got a check from Groogle? How long did it take to earn your first one hundred Groogle dollars? Is it possible for a website to get more traffic just writing about the g000000gle AdSenseprogram? The answers to these questions may or may not magically appear here

One parting note as of now I'm still a member in good standing on the Google Search engine click here . I should be thankful that my keyword RAWDON is still there and cap the inkwell ...
