Let me tell you a story about karma and how I made 0 by
reporting an Adsense cheater!

It started when I came upon a web site where some kid was
blatantly breaking the rules by asking his buddies to click on
his Adsense ads.

This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves! Why do people
think they can break the rules at the expense of other peoples’
AdWords budgets?

So I did what a lot of people do… I contacted Google!

I figured Google would shut this punk down immediately. Boy was
I wrong!

Every time I went back to this kid’s web site the message asking
his friends to click the ads were still there! This went on for
a few weeks and I really started to get ticked off at the lack
of response on Google’s part.

So I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I used this software I created called “Google Sponsor Lister”
(You can get it at AdsenseSchool.com) to find every sponsor who
was targeting this kid’s niche.

I contacted each sponsor directly and told them there was a
chance their ads were being displayed on a cheater’s site. I
figured if THEY complained to Google, something would happen!

Well I guess I was right! One of the sponsors emailed me back
two days later and said:

]]>

“I want to thank you for pointing out the kids clicking on my
ads. I turned it over to my Google rep, and he called today to
let me know Google is disabling their account. Also, he said
Google is crediting me a decent amount for fraudulent clicks
over the last quarter. What’s your address? I’d like to send you
a little thank you gift.”

How awesome is that? I was so excited! Not because he was going
to send me a “thank you gift”… but because I figured out how
to get that punk’s shut down!

It’s funny how Google shut this kid down in TWO DAYS because a
sponsor contacted them but when I had been trying for weeks,
nothing happened. Makes you think…

Anyway… I told him he didn’t have to thank me and he
definitely didn’t need to send me a gift. I was just happy to
know I saved him a couple bucks and this punk got his account
canceled.

He replied with the following…

“Thanks again. I actually spend several hundred thousand dollars
a month on Google, so at least they responded to me quickly.
Also, the rebate they gave me was fairly substantial (several
thousand). I’d really like to buy you an Amazon gift certificate
or an iPod or something if you’d like to tell me how to send it
to you, because I don’t think I would have been proactive about
this if you hadn’t contacted me. Either way, it’s great that
you’re being a good samaritan.”

SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS? I thought I saved him a couple bucks
at most!

I was floored when I read that because I knew Adsense cheaters
hurt sponsors but I never thought it was that bad!

So I told him if he REALLY wanted to send me an iPod or an
Amazon gift certificate, I wouldn’t stop him!

He ended up sending me an Amazon.com gift certificate worth
0!

Long story short… I am now a true believer in Karma!

I think this teaches us a couple important lessons…

First, telling Google about Adsense cheaters is fruitless… but
informing the sponsors, and asking them to contact Google, works
immediately!

And second, ripping off AdWords sponsors is big business. Don’t
think for a second it’s a victimless crime!

Oh and now I’m a true believer in Karma!

Maybe you won’t make 0… but at the very least you’ll help
get rid of another Adsense thief and save a business owner some
money

As well you can read some tips how to start a blog below:

First of course is you must decide which site you prefer as domain for your blog. Most netizens prefer blogspot or other free websites that offer blogging service. Other pay for their own personal domain, cheap price of /mo. Which is not bad.

Anyhow, if you prefer a free domain, then I suggest you register a gmail account. Once you have a gmail account you can login to blogspot.com using your gmail ID. After logging in, you’ll be directed to your dashboard.

Click on CREATE BLOG.

Fill in the needed information for your blog. Like the title, the Blog address (this will be your URL which you can post or e-mail to friends to visit your blog. Enter the code and click continue.

Choose your blog’s template click continue (If you want a different design other than what is offered by blogspot its ok, you can still edit your blogs design later on).

Now you own your personal blog. And start blogging about your business.

So, you wanted to re-design your blog. You don’t like the template and would like to change it. Go to your dashboard.

Click DESIGN.

Click EDIT HTML. Open a new tab. Enter www. google.com on address bar, and search for “blogspot templates”. After you have chosen which templates you like for your page, save it on your computer. And upload it using “EDIT HTML” function. Un-check “Expand Widget Templates” box. Click preview your template. And if you like it then, save. After saving the changes, just click “VIEW BLOG”.

Now you can start blogging. Just do the same procedure if you want to change your template design.

Start blogging and posting about your business and promote it to friends. Either using your social networking account to promote or any other means you’re comfortable with.

Starting a blog in order to make money online is one of the greatest ways to boost your income or even earn a living and quit your day job. Getting that blog fired up and ready to earn you money though might be a little more intimidating. Don’t worry! Here are some simple steps you can follow that will have you blogging for profit in no time flat – even if you’re a beginner!

First, you’ll need to get a domain for your blog. That’s the web address your visitors will come to in order to see your blog. It’s important to have your own domain name because it shows your readers that you take your blog seriously and that you run a legitimate website. If you already have a topic you want to blog about, great! Pick a domain name that reflects what your blog is all about.

If you’re not sure what to blog about and your main goal is to make money with your blog, then I recommend picking a blogging topic within one of these three fail-proof markets: relationships, health/fitness, or money/finances. Those are markets that will always be profitable no matter what. So pick a narrow niche within those fields such as dating, weight loss, or retirement.

Now you’re ready to get your blog hosted and online so you can start earning! What you’ll want to do is find hosting that offers one-click blog installation so that you don’t have to fuss with the technical stuff if it’s your first time. Then it’s time to create blog posts that promote affiliate products that you know your readers will be hungry for and watch the profits roll in!Creating a money-making blog should be simple but many people find the process difficult and confusing.
