Adsense Click Clubs on Facebook & Twitter

By on Saturday, June 27th, 2009 | Comments Off

If you’ve done biz with me or been reading this blog for a while – you know that I am into affiliate marketing and heavily so.

I do very little paid affiliate marketing and use the “workhorse” method of promoting my affiliate marketing websites/blogs through the use of articles, backlinks, directories, forums and all that good stuff. And as you know (or may not know Facebook and Twitter are excellent ways to get your campaigns in front of people that may be interested. I get some seriously good traffic from Twitter alone, Facebook is still me just basically screwing off with friends.

Recently however – I’ve gotten numerous emails and invitations to join “Adsense Click Clubs”. It’s a you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours kind of thing. In a nutshell, someone that is a member of a ClickClub will go make 5-7 impressions of your Google Advertisements on your website and then click on one ad per day. It doesn’t sound like much but when you see that some of these click clubs have hundreds of members – it could mean that someone that has a high PPC site say like “mesothelioma” or another high paying keyword website is raking in very decent money per day.

I wouldn’t participate in this simply because it’s wrong but also when you’re caught (and you will be caught it’s only a matter of time) your account will be banned from Adsense and you’ll lose any pending monies you have coming… do you have to repay Google for fraudulently obtained payments? I don’t know the answer to that one.

I’m also sure people are clicking links directly from the Click Clubs and landing on the sites they are falsifying clicks on and eventually the unnatural method (unnatural being one page directing numerous people to pages that are creating Adsense clicks) that people are hitting pages from will attract attention and I can almost guarantee you that every single site listed as a link within a ClickClub will get penalized.

In the meantime – don’t get sucked into Click Clubs, y’all.

Will Squidoo Lock YOUR Lens?

By on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 | Comments Off

Squidoo issued a new policy and it will eliminate a lot of categories and some of your favorite affiliate marketing subjects here is a short excerpt, you can read the whole snizzle here :http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-policy-update

“The biggest offenders in the spam world, and topics that aren’t okay on Squidoo, are:

–Pharmaceutical, drug, and diet aid reviews and diet pill sales. (Examples: Viagra, Hoodia Gordoni, Penis Enlargement pills, acai berry etc)

–Yes, weight loss and dieting lenses are far more often spam than good–especially when they’re selling something, or promoting an affiliate site. Acai berry reviews have earned a rotten reputation elsewhere on the web, for example, and that’s seeping into Squidoo as well.

–Affiliate lenses promoting other affiliate programs. Go figure. (For example, the Yuwie affiliate network has been spamming Squidoo with the same content, thousands of pages a week, for a while. So, they’ve earned their way onto our SquidDon’t list. If you’ve got a Yuwie lens, chances are it will get shut down. Sorry).

–Gambling lenses. (Yeah, that means you, TexasHoldem lenses. And most poker lenses. We’ll probably overcorrect heavily on these, and can’t guarantee that we can move swiftly to unlock false positives. Your best bet is just to stay away from gambling and lottery lenses or the topic in general).

–Dealing with credit card debt, cash gifting, envelope stuffing, mortgages, currency trading, Forex, Regenesis, etc. There’s a clear way to make good stuff on this topic, but alas, most people just make spambait on it.

–Hate lenses. Sure, you can give negative reviews. But spewing hate at a person crosses the line, and if we get contacted about them we might lock them. Think happy thoughts.
.
–Ringtones lenses. Free (and so-called legal) movie download lenses. Free Mp3 download lenses. Yikes. These exploded in the last year, and we’ve never seen ONE that’s worth anyone’s time. Really.

–Illegal Adult lenses. Child pornography, anyone? No.

–Lyrics lenses. Be careful. We’re getting swamped by these, and most of the time they are junky, copied and pasted, and have serious copyright issues. If you have an entire account dedicated to lyrics lenses, make sure you’re adding a significant amount of personal review and curation, quoting correctly, and don’t steal from someone else on the web.

–And a few that are harder to generalize, but obvious when we see them.

You can’t build any content in these areas on Squidoo.

So the deal is: You can’t build any content on these kinds of topics on Squidoo.

If you are interested in these areas, it’s entirely possible you will bump into our filter (we call it the SquidDon’t filter). If you do, don’t be surprised if your lenses get locked or your accounts get suspended.

Hey, there must be other things you’re passionate about in this world. Why not make a lens on that, and leave the onlinetexasholdem4u pages out.

My hope is that 99% of you won’t even know the spamfilter is there.

No, we’re not trying to censor anyone. No, we don’t like mediating. No, we’re not trying to keep the site Puritanical.

We’re just trying to keep it something that we’re all proud to be a part of. So if that means you’re left scratching your head over editorial choices or standards, we apologize in advance.”
