You place a Javascript on your website and it'll hunt all the words in the page and advertise simler ones and everytime someone clicks it you earn money in USD. :o
 
Yep, adsense is pretty strict on that stuff. I use it but I have to say I'm thinking of removing it again as none of my members are click-happy enough.

I got an email about click fraud because apparently you're not allowed to click on your own links even to see where they go, or if you're just interested in them. If you want to do that you have to download an IE only plugin specially designed for the job. At least that's all I could see in the FAQ.

I don't think it does, I know you're not allowed to encourage others to click your ads.

Did you get banned when they emailed you, how many times did you click an ad also if they did ban you 'how much were you at?
 
nah no banning. It just says they reserve the right to remove all 'fraudulent' clicks from the total should it continue. I'm really not sure how many times I clicked, but another thing that may have caused suspicion was the fact that I was testing out what the adverts looked like on localhost before uploading.

edit: from the FAQ regarding how much you earn:

You'll be able to see the total number of impressions, ad clicks, clickthrough rate, effective CPM, and your total earnings so you can get an idea of how well the programme is performing for you and how much you can expect to earn over time in the programme. Please note that these reports and the information contained in them are confidential. However, we do understand that you may have a need to report yearly or quarterly total earnings from Google AdSense for tax purposes.

You are very lucky indeed. Google are known for banning people out right — usually just before payments are sent out — for single cases of click fraud; even if it's just a case of someone else deciding to click your ads over and over. It's also notoriously difficult to appeal against a ban, and the chances of getting back in the program are next-to-none.

That said, there are better ad networks out there — especially for websites with niche subject matters. I'm personally waiting for the Yahoo! Publisher Network to become available to us Brits :)
