I recently have been approached by several people in Yahoo business chat and other chat rooms wanting me to "exchange clicks" with Google Ad Sense. I go to these rooms to try to get referrals and to exchange ideas on making money online. I can't believe the audacity of these people! They are THIEVES! What's wrong with these people? I guess they are too blinded by greed, or just plain stupid to realize that all they are doing is driving down the CTR for the rest of us! I reported a few of them to Google. I told them that I will not do that and I would never give out my website address to them. So, if you are wondering why the CTR is going down on Google, it might be because of the droves of dishonest, greedy, stupid people who do this crap! I am ranting about this because I see people on these forums trying their best to do the right thing and wonder why their revenue is steadily going down. I have seen my own site suffer also. And now I know why. If you run across any of these low-life losers, get their website address and report them to Google. Get screen shots of the conversation so you can prove your claims. These people need to be stopped!!! They are thieves! Thank you for putting up with my rant. I'm really PO'ed about this...

Yup, recently I added a guy (unfortunately) on my Y! messenger. Now these people actually pass on whole of their contact list. Right now I am getting atleast 15-20 requests a day and I lost count of messages that come asking for clicks.

Looks like there are more and more people like that...

wow no idea there was a network that big of click fraud people. Thats kind of sad.

Thanks for sharing the story,
It's really unacceptable click fraud

Beat click fraud protect adsense!

I know its cause of these people that we end up getting banned and can you believe people actually support bu....(i wont write the full address because some of you may be too tempted to go their) and other paid to click sites. This is outrageous.

It wouldn't be as bad if they were stealing from a big company, but stealing from someone who is striving to get traffic to their site.

Nice to see some people that don't have their moral compass broken.

Don't get mad, help stop the problem, JOIN THEM!

I'd make some bogus little junk website and put some fake ads on it that look like AdSense, just not an actual AdSense account.

When they send you the lists of domains to click fraud just forward the whole batch to Google AdSense and be upfront
about what you're doing with Google and tell them that you only "joined" them after they approached you so that you could alert AdSense to the problem domains.
