New Residents at the Park and a little bit about Adsense
There are some new residents that need to be welcomed into the Blog Park. One is about a City that says it is all about Golden Friendship and the other one is all about the scams and the scamming on the Internet. You may have noticed that I have removed the Adsense code that serves up the Adsense ads and the Google search bar from this site. Google Adsense has removed me from the list of publishers for violations of the TOA. I am not saying they did so unfairly and unjustly. That is not important or even remotely relevant. I am sure that I am not the first one and surely I will not be the last to be removed or as they say, banned. It is no big deal as my adventures into the Adsense Kingdom was a lark, an experiment which although very educational, was very much unprofitable financially and unrewarding psychologically.
The big hype about Adsense Wealth is, as far as I have discovered, mostly hype. It is a big way for others who came before and have learned how difficult it is to make money on Adsense, to make money from newbies who know no better. Hard as it may sound, there is a ring of truth to it as I have experienced first hand the hard sell, and the force-feeding of Adsense into all who would give it the time of day. Well, it is another day and another lesson has been learned.
I am sure there are people who make a lot of money on Adsense but it seems to me that the people who rake in the big bucks have to employ Black Hat methods to do it. And Adsense is so prone to click fraud and all other forms of fraud that Google has to scramble all over the place to prevent click fraud and other forms of fraud that are far worse than a few clicks.
This appears to me very self-evident that Adsense has some really serious flaws which Google needs to address. And I am not talking about Google becoming an even more efficient technological policeman and detective to thwart those that exploit the holes in the Search Engine's Algorithm. If something can be learned, it is that where there is money to be made, there you will always find people devising ingenious ways to get at that money my means that are not intended to be used.
I am sure that you have heard or seen the catch phrase, "Content is king!" and very often this is used in a sales page where in the same breath it tries to sell you a thingy or other that will defeat that catch phase and render it inutile and vapid and weak by rewording your content and adding a few more keywords to supposedly make your articles more valuable and palatable to the search engines. This is utterly ridiculous but such is the state of affairs which Adsense has created. Feed the robots with nonsense and they will love you. Is this the future of technology? I can remember Shakespeare saying, "it is like a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
Google Adsense has problems which are far worse than a few illegal clicks.
