Gollywhiz, I don't seem to be making my point....

In Response To: A way better deal (S. Tanna)

> Why pay Google $0.40 (or whatever) per click to earn $0.20 back?

In my case I would pay them .05 and they would pay me .025 -- and even in my current state, I'm not collecting pennies two at a time :-D

I'm not interested in doing it to get the kickback or "discounted clicks" or whatever one might call it -- in fact, I'm not interested in "doing it" at all.

But since my #1 interest is in pointing people to Site A, where they can buy my ebook and thus pay me more money than I would probably earn from Adsense or the occasional affiliate sale on Site B, no *harm* is done if my own ad comes up on Site B and someone clicks on it.

If the visitor ignores my own banner promoting Site A but they click on my Google ad that happens to come up and they go to Site A, the same thing has been accomplished -- and that's why I see no point in blocking my own ads (UNLESS it violates Google's rules in any way).

(I have read Google's rules upside-down and sideways and I didn't see this specifically addressed, but I could have missed it -- that's why I'm asking if anyone has experience -- but again, I personally never click on Google ads and I know several people who say they automatically ignore them, so it isn't a big deal either way -- just that my own Google ads for Site A on Site B would be accomplishing the same thing as my own banner or ad for Site A on Site B that I *don't* pay for and possibly being noticed by a different set of people.)

Do that make sense?

Luv,

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
