Moneypenny:
I applaud you for taking Accion against Google’s adsurdities. While I can certainly Adwords to the discussion, I doubt I can Adsense… for I, too, hadve ogled the ogre Google and had the same EXACT experience as Ben Cohen except that I am not teenaged, not a millionaire, and gained, not earned, a couple hundred pounds while on Google.
Can I take my moon trip prize in cash? If not, you can give it to Hamlet Batista… the writer I would love to introduce to my niece Ophelia Castro.

Thanks for the comments guys. I also have click paranoia. Sometimes on my blogs.

I see an ad, and want to know what it’s about but resist.
Clicking can get you banned!

I heard a similar story from a blogging friend of mine whose nephew was clicking away on her ads to “help” her out. She’s now banned from google which kind of sucks because her blog is now very successful. I have google ads on my personal blog and I gotta tell you, I’m a little paranoid about it. I find myself constantly telling people I know, “DON’T CLICK THE ADS” because I’m scared I’ll be banned. But, isnt clicking the ads the whole point? UGH.

I just put it up and let it go. I just have text ads, and I look at them every now and again to make sure they aren’t crazy. I make about $400 a year from AdSense. Not a lot, but it pays for our eating out.
