Why you need to Fight Click Fraud

Why you need to Fight Click Fraud

I have been reading and thinking a lot about the dilemma of Click Fraud. I
believe Click Fraud is more of a danger to existing Google AdSense
publishers who are honest than Google.

I also read about eBay promoting click fraud with allowing people to place
dishonest ads. Shame on eBay!

See below:

I believe Google has created tremendous value with Google AdSense. Google
and Google AdSense Team should be congratulated for such achievement.

Let me show you how I mean this.

Here is my reasoning:

First, I like to pose this question:

How much is your website worth if you generate revenue from Google AdSense?

Let's say your website makes a good $30 per day on average.

This is how we calculate the value of your website:

Yearly income = $30 x 30 x 360 = $32,400

Value of the Website= $32400/interest rate = 32400/.07 = $462,857 (this is
assumed that the income will never end and is good for ever

Of course if the income grows, the value will be even more)

How many websites do you think make over $30 per day? If the answer is say
10,000. Then total value created is: 10,000 x $462857 = $4,628,570,000.
That is more than $4 Billion.

Google should be congratulated for creating such a wealth.

I am 100 percent sure not many honest AdSense Publishers are aware of this
value.

If they knew, they would also be more protective of the existing AdSense
system and the integrity of the AdSense system. Hence, I believe Google
should plan a campaign to educate the honest Publishers of such value and
the fact that Click Fraud can jeopardize this value.

If the Honest AdSense Publishers recognize this value and also recognize the
danger that such value could be jeopardized by Click Fraud, they will take
action.

This might relieve Google from Burden of fighting Click Fraud alone.

I suggest AdSense Publishers boycott eBay. We must fight along Google to
eradicate Click Fraud.

Thanks for reading
