Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

The google adding them up kind of makes sense to be ten bucks with the two clicks I did last week coming up to 6 dollars and some cents.

Also I do click on links in the pages the ads send me to pretending to act like I am legitimately interested, I don't know if that helps but in my mind it does.

That does help - I'm 99% sure. I'm pretty damned sure (by way of cookies and any active scripting) that they keep track of that - and things like how long you visit the links. I mean, they're Google. They've got some of the biggest collections of data at their disposal. Fraud protection seems like something they're probably really good at - but I suspect they only really pay attention to the bigger customers.

I've accidentally clicked links, plural, with my browser logged into my Google account, using the same IP address, and having the same cookies as I have when I log into AdSense itself! They credited my account for most of them. Once in a blue moon the total estimated will be a little different than the total paid out, but it's never by much.

I doubt there's even a human in the loop at my level. I suspect it's all automated and that there's not even a person that authorizes payments when payments are made.

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.
