Do you think it gives less if I were to just click the ad and then close the page it brings up?
With no person to authorize the payments I would think that would be ripe for hacking
I think it'd refuse to pay out at all if you just closed the page as soon as it opened. With enough of that, it might even decide all your clicks are fraudulent. Odds are that they'd eventually take it out on the site owner.
It'd take an awful lot of humans to review all the payments AdSense sends out. I really doubt there's a human in the loop by default, unless you're at a certain threshold. There are millions of AdSense users.
Yeah that would take a whole lot of people. I suppose they just have the computers flag those with irregularities for a human to review.
That'd be what I'd aim for. They've got all sorts of data they can use to recognize patterns.
