Adsense Cheating Publishers & Advertisers

Me: : 
Okay. This question has been asked but perhaps not with as much clarification as is required. I have shared my blogspot posts on Facebook. I have received comments from friends on the posts which prove they actually visited the page. My performance page initially recorded their visit and showed a $1.45 RPM and a penny earned from 7 visits. Moments later, the recorded visits begin to gradually decrease and the RPM returns to $0.00. Finally, the report for the day is back to no visits and no record of even my penny being earned. Come on, man. Explain this to a grown up that understands this game.

Adsense Flunkie: :
Adsense deducts impressions, clicks, & earnings for any activity that they deem to be invalid according to their policies. Your friends (or some of them) may be using AdBlock or have javascript disabled to where they're not seeing the ads & thus not making impressions. Therefore it isn't automatic that it's your friends impressions that are being deleted, If they are seeing the ads & their impressions are being deleted then you should quit promoting your blog to your friends or quit using Adsense on the blog until you can determine why their activity is being deemed invalid.

Adsense Flunkie: :
Your free to remove the ads & close your account at any time you wish & if you're earnings are over the $10 threshold & there are no holds on your account they'll send the balance within 90 days of the end of the month that you close it.

Adsense Flunkie: 
A blog that is only getting traffic from a small group of friends shouldn't even be using Adsense yet IMO. It's not a good thing to have only a small group of friends click ads but when they don't click ads you'll get very little to no earnings. Therefore your account currently has a tremendous amount of risk with very low odds of getting any reward. 

Me: 
These corporate douche bags live in a beautiful world. I'd love to reserve the right to refuse to pay my rent, my smart phone bill, and my cable bill. Adsense, you are sitting on my websites. Pay me or you get kicked off. You live in the same piece of rock in space as the rest of us, princess. Send me my $15.00 and we will go our separate ways.

Me: 
The blog receives thousands of views. The Facebook situation is only the proof Adsense invalidates legitimate views. And good work on that implication on click fraud. I don't even get clicks nor do I want them. I'd prefer a straight PPM to ad clicks. Because Adsense is famous for banning publishers that earn anything via clicks. You fall back on that BS click-fraud excuse often don't you? No doubt you are charging your advertisers for my 1000s of so-called invalid views. Send me my $15.00 and we will go our separate ways.

Yahoo Contributor Network

This is actually a good way to earn an income if you can write quality original articles quickly. Getting approved is very easy. Write informative articles about topics you know that help people. Submit it for upfront pay and hope it gets accepted. It's that simple. There is an option to resubmit your article for non-exclusive/performance pay which allows you to republish the content to other sites while you earn a CPM rate of $1.50 to start.

FullofKnowledge.com

I submit my articles that don’t get accepted for upfront pay by Yahoo Contributor Network to Fullofknowledge. The staff is friendly and helpful. I only started at the beginning of September so I haven't received a payment from them yet. Once I do, I'll update. FoK also has a partner site called Expertspages.com which is still new and hasn't built a readership following yet. I'll update its progress as well over the coming weeks. FoK allows you write about whatever you wish and their guildlines are very relaxed.

Update Oct 11, 2013: Sept Report. Page views. 1122. (Pending Sept Payment)

Chikita (Do Not Use This Network)

Chikita registers all the page views but requires 1000 registered impressions before you start earning any revenue. It is also easy to get started. The dashboard is relatively easy to follow. I've read their CPM rates are much lower than Adsense although I can't see how you can get much lower that $0.00. I haven't generated the required minimum yet but I average about 150 impressions per day so I'll update once I know more.

Update Oct 14 2013: Don't rely on impressions with Chikita. I lost 11 impressions. From 154 down to 148. They require a minimum of 1000 impressions before you can begin to receive CPM from Chitika. I'll give this network time to earn 1000 impressions. But the back pay for these impressions should be paid for. 

Update Oct 18 2013: Chikita continues to subtract valid impression. Down from 148 to 112 as of today with less than 10% of total impressions recorded. They offer no revenue until 1000 impressions yet they ensure you never reach the 1000 impressions by subtracting them. For this reason, I don't recommend Chikita as a valid earning network. Once I find an alternative, I'll be dropping Chikita altogether.

Adsense

If you can find a way to draw traffic that is simply itching to click and buy then this is the Ad network for you. Unfortunately, the contrary is often the case. They predominantly display CPC (Cost per Click) ads and if you get no clicks you get no earnings. I haven't seen any CPM revenue from Adsense yet. Notice the difference in registered impressions from Chikita. Both Adsense and Chikita were added to the same sites at the same time. This leads me to believe Adsense does not register all the impressions. I'll update if anything changes, but I've bumped Adsense down to bottom feeder status until I start seeing results.

Update Oct 11, 2013: Noticed some diminishing returns in impressions. Dropped from 29 to 26.
Update Oct 14, 2013: See that I haven't earned anything from CPM with Adsense. $2.00 in clicks but no payout until $100 minimum.

CPMLeader

This network has surprised me somewhat. I have it running on a site I haven't gotten around to restructuring toward content yet. But I have had a bit of curious snoopers check it out. CPMLeader registered them and added the revenue to my dashboard. I haven't reached the minimum $5.00 payout rate yet so I have no idea if this is even a legitimate site or not. But this promises to be a good earner once I begin to work on the site and get more traffic in. They allow Blogspot ads by request only. I haven't gotten a reply yet but will update.
