Cheaters 10 Steps [The Shocking Truth]


Cheaters 10 Steps [The Shocking Truth]

Cheating Google Adsense....OK, Here's the obvious fact. You're probably thinking wow there's actually an easy way to cheat Google. Well unfortunately these things do happen... everyday. But, I gotta let you know. These things are not recommended. All of them violate google's TOS and thats all I will say about that. Now, there are a few ways to legitimately get money with adsense on this page. See if you can find them. Anyway, back to the subject at hand, if you want to know how to cheat AdSense, read carefully.
  1. Average click cheater
    This is usually a beginner. Typically has no clue about web technology or social networking. This person clicks on his or her own ads every time they have a chance. It can be a couple of high value click a day to hundreds of clicks a day.
  2. Cloaking Software click cheater
    This person is usually a little more savy and knows a thing or two about cookies and IP address. They figure that by using a cloaking software they won't be traced by google. Here's the ironic thing about it, this person probably did a google search to find this software and may have purchase it from a google adwords ad. LOL
  3. The OLD I'll use a few computers to click my ads cheater
    The idea behind this is to give the impression that someone else is clicking on their ad. It must be a coincidense that they only click on the adsense ads when they visit the site... Every day... LOL. Now this person will also be very creative and get a few friends and family members to click on the ads... or go as far as to visit the public libraries to get more clicks.
  4. Automated click cheater
    When you think of automated, you should also think of auto bot or clickbot. These are robot software programs that click on AdSense ads. The autobots will surf around your site, clicking on ads every couple of minutes. The really good ones will change the IP address, to give the appearance of clickers form different computers all over the world. Some of them even go to multiple pages on your site to improve clickthru ratings. And like I mentioned earlier, you can probably find them in a google search. (sad huh?)
  5. Lowest of the low... are the paid to click cheaters
    Paid clickers will click on you ade for a small fee ie. $50-$100 per month.. Typically you can find these groups in foreign countries ie japan, china, india, phillipines. They are very experienced and will occasionally sign up for free offers and view all pages of the sites to ensure high click through numbers to keep suspension low..
  6. The ever popular Click ring cheaters
    This is a group of people usually found in forums and social networking comunities that organize an exchange of clicks to get more adsense income. The old idea of, if you click my ads, I will click your ads philosphy. Definitely appears more difficult to catch, but once google finds out about it, rest assured whoever's in that forum, will most likely get banned.
  7. Email spamming cheater
    If you have a decent sized list of people on a mailing list and you send out an incentive offer to click on your ad's, You can target people to your ads and get some serious clicks. Of course, beware of red flags from google due to huge conversion rates of clickers to visitors in a short period of time....
  8. This cheater is what I call the obvious cheater
    If you type the words CLICK ON MY SPONSORED ADS, OR CHECK OUT MY ADS on your site or near your ads, then your cheating...” May get flagged.
  9. Entry Page cheater
    This person has the idea that if they recommend clicking on the adsense ad in a web page that links to your adsense page, that they are not violating terms.. Uhhh yes, it's still violating [period].
  10. No Content cheater
    Putting your adsense codes on sites that have not content is not going to last, but many people think of it. This tends to make the vistor think, I guess I should click on the ad. This makes google a little uneasy and suspicious.
Personal Disclaimer: I don’t recommend trying any of these, nor do I do these myself. I just know that they get done daily and well it's very risky and unethical. The sad part of it is that many people in todays economy need the income and will try anything. Here is a tool that has proven to help people get huge adsense income, including myself... And it is legitimate and on the up and up.http://tinyurl.com/ykeo9tj

Advertising and color phycology

Every entrepreneur should exert effort and time into advertising in order to attract customers. One of the necessary things to learn in advertising is using color psychology as a means of appealing to your target market.
Why give emphasis on colors? Experts believe that colors have an effect on our physical and psychological states. Colors reach out to our subconscious and create a positive or negative reaction within 90 seconds. Improper use of colors for your ads can convey the wrong messages or mislead your customers.
Avoid the temptation of insisting on using your favorite color even if it  doesn't suit your marketing materials. Whether it's a banner, business card, leaflet, magnetic sign or window lettering, you need to make the right choices for the colors. Consider your target audience over your personal preference.
Researchers have also found out that colors have an effect on our shopping habits. Impulsive buyers tend to respond to black, red-orange, and royal blue. Spendthrifts respond best to sky blue, navy, teal, and pink. Conservative ones react to pastels like baby blue, pink, and rose.
Color perceptions varies depending on an individual's culture, ethnicity, gender, and age. If you have a global business, be sensitive to your target audience from different parts of the world. For example, if you are selling wedding gowns worldwide, it is wise to have a different ad for each location. A model wearing a red gown would appeal to your Chinese customers, while a model garbed in white would suit the tastes of most of your Western customers. If you have a vague understanding of the cultural aspects of color psychology, you can make huge mistakes in your marketing strategies.



WhiteWhite – Symbolizes cleanliness, purity, and youthfulness. It is the best background color for websites.  It is being used for clinics and hospitals to represent  sterility. Fat-free dairy products, additive-free foods, and skin care lines are best suited for this color.
BlackBlack – Symbolizes authority, elegance, seduction, and mystery. It is suitable as a background color for an ad since it goes well with most colors. If you want your ads to exude drama, luxury, and class, pick this color. Masculine cosmetics, designer goods, and five-star hotels are best suited for this color.
BrownBrown – Symbolizes dependability, efficiency, humility, and solidity. It does not attract attention like primary colors but it gives a vibe of trustworthiness. Males respond well to this ad especially with tinges of red, orange, and yellow. Furniture, lumber, and, hunting and sporting gear are best suited for this color.
PurplePurple – Symbolizes dignity, mystery, regency, and spirituality. In ancient times it was regarded as a rarity because it is uncommon in nature. It exudes creativity, femininity, and romanticism, making it an ideal choice for ads that are targeted for the female market. It also gives a touch of class to cheap and simple products.
RedRed – Symbolizes excitement, passion, speed, and strength. It is the most powerful and striking of colors. It should be a prominent color for ads that suggest fast-paced action like comic books, computer games, and fast-food restaurants.
PinkPink – Symbolizes comfort, femininity, gentleness, and well-being. Besides, lady-likeness, it induces temporary calmness  and relaxation. It is a favorite color of choice for products like toilet paper, hypoallergenic toiletries, and baby products.
BlueBlue – Symbolizes authority, dignity, faithfulness, and dignity. It suggests sanctuary and fiscal responsibility. Unlike warm colors, blue is associated with clear thinking and productivity. From electronics to grooming products to educational materials, it is a flexible choice of color for their advertising.
YellowYellow – Symbolizes alertness, cheerfulness, happiness, and warmth. It enhances concentration and appeals to intellectuals. Products associated with vitality and stimulus, such as food supplements and sports equipments choose this as their main color. It is also suitable for promoting feel-good social activities and events sponsored by a company.
OrangeOrange – Symbolizes ambition, endurance, pleasure, and strength. Products associated with energy and vigor such as energy drinks, adventure trip packages, and theme parks are well-defined by this color. Businesses that are made for mass marketing like fast food outlets and motels can use this color to tell customers that they are getting the most value for their money.
GreenGreen – Symbolizes freedom, freshness, nature, and tranquility. It relaxes the eye and has soothing effects. It is usually associated with finance and growth, making it fit for insurance plans and saving schemes. It suits energy-boosting tonics, health spas, and eco-friendly products well.
So when choosing a color for your sign or marketing piece, these are great things to keep in mind.
