Recently in many forums, I had seen many newbie has made their step into the famous Google’s Website Monetizing Program, Google Adsense. It’s a good news since more people is going to get extra money online :). However, sadly a few of them decided to play cheat (or do fraud click) as a way to gain more money faster which is clearly stated in Google Terms of Service here as an illegal thing to do. This article consists five top reasons why newbie should not cheat with Adsense, specially written to motivate them to the path of success.
1. Google can detect click fraud easily.
Although my account has never got banned before, I have many friends who got their account busted from the program, just because of one reason which is click fraud. Accroding to the statement that most people agreed, Google does their tracking by collecting the IP address and cookie of the publisher. Others said that Google detects publisher’s MAC address to which I think is hard to cover the trace unless we are willing to reinstall our computer each time we want to do the click fraud.
2. It’s a bad karma (or sin)
Many relegion in the world guided that cheating to get money is a wrong thing to do. If you have the faith, why would you keep doing the wrong thing? In Islam as example, it can be considered haraam as its againts the advertiser’s agreement with the publisher. Feeding our cells with haraam earning is a worser than living in poverty and may get us thrown to the hell.
3. Your country might get banned by online money making program.
Google Adsense is one of the major online money making program. Such that if a company banned a country for fraud click cases, then the process of signing up with the program later will be hard for the citizens. The country’s website publishers will get negative perception from other company as well (mutualism or parasitism?). That would mean less income for us.
4. It won’t last long
If you think that Google Adsense is a fast way to get money, then this program is not for you. Many publishers before did research for more than one year to reach the success, unless you are very lucky or have the X-factor to attract visitors to your website. When you do fraud click for a long time, Google will realize it sooner or later.
5. Adsense needs us to be skillful
To get money from Adsense you need a lot of skill such as optimizing website’s layout for SEO, Adsense placement, website’s tracking, linking strategy and lots more. The knowledge or skill will not be achieved in a single night, but with a lot of experiment a.k.a trial and error.
I would like to end this article by giving a suggestion that what Adsense newbie have to do now is plan their work, work their plans. Just like in real life, we have to work damn hard to get something that we like. Should we consider money generated from fraud click as a “success”? I’m sure no one does.

Its extremely easy to get banned
I had never clicked on my ads or asked any one to click on my ads. I submitted an article to digg.com, article became popular and boom! there goes my account. Google thought the increase in impressions was fraud related so I got banned.
Moral of the story is: BE CAREFUL!!! You can get banned even if you don’t click on your ads so clicking will definitely get you banned.
