Google’s analysis of click-fraud report

Google to warn of unsafe websites

Google has signed a $900m deal with Fox to provide search capabilities for Fox sites, which is to say mainly MySpace.

The University of California opens up its libraries to Google’s book-scanning project.  I remember reading that thought the US population is now huge and still growing the national park attendance has gone down.  Down!  Yellowstone can’t compete with xBox, me guess.  I picture the same happening to libraries.  Once crucial to any community or campus, they will become dust-filled tombs.

How To Pwn a Site With Their Own AdSense

This as got to be fraud as sure as you secretly enjoy it when your mother bathes you. Why don’t more people do obvious click-fraud on other people’s AdSense? Like, how could they defend themselves against it? What could they say? “Google… I did not click-click-click on my own ads! 4 realz, dogg!”

But get this. You can do even better. If the source of a page with AdSense is viewed, find where it sez “google_ad_client”. Steal that ID and make your own spammy site with their AdSense. Again, what could a person do? “I promise you… Google… listen to me… I did not make that spam farm.”

Mmmmm. Spam farm.

The more I think about it the more I am gay for cost-per-action. Of course, if I haven’t said it before, I’ll probably say it again: Some site’s it’s not so easy to measure action. Still, it would pretty much cut the balls right off of click-fraud.

Analytics: a devious plot to prevent click-fraud

“La di da! Jus makin’ my web site; makin mah website. Hey! Google just gave me somefin’ ta monitor my stats! R0xorz b411z 0u+! Hmmmm… i wonder if I could make more money today if i click on my own ads…”

pwned!!!!1!!11!!

I don’t trust that Google released Analytics just so that people will think Google doesn’t queef. Oh, they get something out of it, believe you me moo-cha-cho. When you use AdSense or Analytics Google gets piles of steaming data. Google engineers have even devloped an algorithm that lets them more effeciently beat off to said data. Google knows more about the people that visit your site than you do. Not only that, but Google can now track people across web sites to get their full surphing prophile. What Google will cop to is that all of this wafting, ripe data will be used to better serve ads. It’ll also show suspicious surfing activity like crazy click-click-clicking on ads and then ban certain IPs.

Either way you slice it, I’m putting some clothes on.
