There are various AdSense scams going around. Here’s the way they work. The dream is that you can wake up one day and set up a web site, perhaps buy some cheap traffic to it or optimise it so that it ranks high for certain keywords on the free search engine results pages (SERPS), and get maybe something like 15-20% of the people clicking on an ad that is worth a great deal!
The scams are all about selling you lists of keywords that people pay a lot for clicks on. The keyword lists generally show the price of the highest-cost keywords available to AdWords advertisers. The reasons they don’t work are as follows:
1. Advertisers can set up different payment rates for ads that appear on Google and ads that appear on the content network, and often do, simply because an ad that appears on Google is more likely to convert, and hence worth more.
2. Advertisers can elect to target ads to a specific site, or group of sites. They may well do this for sites that they have tested, and found a good conversion rate from that specific site. If this is the case, then it won’t be any good for your own site.
There are also many programs around that will create a web site for you, that may contain 1000+ pages, in a very short space of time. Don’t use them! Even if you actually have the right to publish the articles presented by these programs which is not always the case, the search engines have seen all the content before, and won’t give you a high list in the result pages. Furthermore, it is likely that your site will be flagged as “interesting” by the search engines if your site suddenly springs into existence with 1000 pages.
