Looking at the average intelligence level of people on this board, I honestly believe people were clicking the ads just to click them, over and over again. They probably thought they were doing good things, but we specifically told people not to do that.

what a mean thing to say :cry:

Google doesnt protect its ad publishers. If it gets too many clicks from the same IP it simply shuts the site down and doesnt give them a second chance. Its really stupid, but like if I hated a site for whatever reason that used google for ads I could screw them over by clicking the ad 30 times over and over. Google would send them a cryptic message and shut them down. Any emails are replied to with canned responses.

With all the ad-click advertising on the net, is it really that hard to get a new sponsor? Im just asking, because ive never researced that and I am flat out unable to make any form of monetary donation :( :shock:
