RSS feedDarren Barefoot talks about Clicking on Ads for sites he likes to support. You could argue that this is cheating the system, considering there is no intent to purchase from said advertisement, but like the advertisers would give back the other way.
Anyway, what would be nice to have, is a browser plug in, WinIE or Safari, not fussed, that had a “I like this site” button. When you clicked, it would scan the page for Google Ads, and randomly click a few of them in the background for you. No new windows, no interuption, minimal bandwidth. It could fake the http headers to match the current browser settings, and add random delays between each request, to make it look like a real user.
In fact, such a plug in could blow up the whole ad space, increasing income for Google and site owners, and increasing fees for advertisers. And you know what, anything that makes them pay more and us get paid more sounds like a damn fine idea to me.
So, any enterprising plug in authors want to have a crack at it?
