Thumbs down $1.6 Million In Weeks In AdSense For Click Fraud

Click fraud is responsible for sudden traffic spikes to websites, advertisers paying exorbitant money for clicks and AdSense honest publishers getting banned often for no right reason.

I have stumpled upon Fruny blog - a person who made $1.6 million from AdSense in two weeks with fraudulent clicks asking everybody to click.

Unfortunately for him this was short term and soon he got banned by Google for click fraud with total of unpaid commissions of $2.5 million dollars. This made him unhappy and now he wants to sue Google.

He also wanted to buy island that's available off the coast of the Bahamas for $8 million dollars. Read the rest on his blog

That guy is very stupid.

Some people seem to forget that click fraud is not just against Google's TOS but it is also against the law, it is like an any other type of fraud.

He will be very lucky if google only sue him and don't pursue legal charges if he is in the US.

He should keep his mouth shut and hope everyone forgets about it.

Since his first post was on April 1st, I can't help but think it was just a month long April fools joke.

But hey, if not, he has to be the biggest idiot on the planet. Maybe he could just get stranded on that island.

Not only that. If you read some of his other posts he mentions that G.W Bush and Bill Gates contacted his as well. Yeah right. It probably was an April fools joke.

He probably is just an April's joker and hopes to sell us his stupid e-book. But it is very strange to purcahse domain and publish a blog for the sole purpose of that.
