Other than that, I find it such a waste of time and energy to try to trick a system, any system mind you. When you look at the big picture you know that in the end, it is not going to work.

Well, back to my day trying to “change the world” quite an ambitious task but if everybody tries in their little corner… Dreamers…

Most websites that use this technique use adsense, if blended into the editorial of the site it can be difficult to distinguish between the advertising and the editorial content.

I am not here to say whether that is right or wrong. Is product placement in movies wrong? Are chat show guests wrong to plug their book on chat shows?

It’s a debate for an online media Masters level thesis. The scope is too large for this humble blog.

So, getting %15 of your visitors to click an ad means if you you get 100 people to your site you have 15 clicks. At 20c a click that’s $3.

Not much, but what if it were a thousand, what if the process was automated. What if as sites get banned new ones are set up, it only cost dollars.

So there you have it, it is worthwhile getting any kind of traffic for this type of business model.

Problem is, it’s short term. It doesn’t build on itself as the sites crash and burn.

And so the cycle continues.

But on the scale of things I don’t think it’s that big a probelm. I worry about Darfur a lot more than I worry about mybloglog spam.
