A True Tale: My Blogger's Confession | Cracking the Code to Google AdSense

Today, I must come clean and reveal the details of how I manipulated Google Bots to secure my life's first $100 check. Am I proud of it? Well, let me take you through the story.

This all unfolded way back, between 2008 and 2011. The memories are a bit hazy, but I'll attempt to piece them together. Back then, I was a novice blogger with no tendency towards content creation. I researched into blogging and discovered the money-making potential with Google AdSense. I rushed to created a blog on blogger.com, posting content by copying and pasting from Google search results with no originality whatsoever. We needed to wait for at least six months to become eligible for the AdSense program at that time. Once I hit that mark, I applied, only to have my blog suspended within three days. An email informed me of "VIOLATION(S) FOUND," emphasizing the need for unique and relevant content. Lesson learned; I decided to create original content.

As I was a lazy content writer, after some deep research, I found a loophole. I created a new blog, this time incorporating downloadable links for mp3-formatted music. I added a small portion of original content, enticing users to download the files. Success! After six months, I reapplied for AdSense and this time, my blog got approved. However, my joy was short-lived; my earnings were stagnant at $0.00. Frustrated, I explored more into HTML coding, tweaking the blog theme to make my content and ads look alike. Clicks started happening accidentally, but earnings were still less than $0.05. Furious, I clicked on every ad on my blog posts and to my surprise, it showed up on my AdSense dashboard. I reached $100 within two days and applied for withdrawal. Alas, my blog got suspended again for click manipulation under the review process.

Undiscouraged, I created a similar blog with a different approach. This time, I visited nearby cyber centers within my area, accessing my blog from different computers to avoid being tracked by a single IP address. Success once again; I made more than $100 and attempted to apply for withdrawal, only to face suspension again after the review process within 3 days.

Refusing to quit, I researched into understanding how Google Bots traced clicks. With a new blog, I cautiously posted daily, promoting on social media and third-party websites. Growth was slow, so I explored generating fake traffic using free VPNs with US IPs and also using a free software application 'Tviewers EXE' (with temporary proxies). Carefully planning my clicks to avoid detection, my mundane task would be like this: In order to do clicks on my blog ads, initially, I collected the keywords which are performing top on Google's 1st page within the US location. Then I used my Windows secondary user account to log in and activate VPN even before starting up any applications. Next, I made sure that I ran a similar application like CCleaner to remove temp files and cookies. I did this activity before opening any browsers and also after closing the browsers. I then opened Mozilla Firefox or Opera and visited Google.com (Yes, I haven't used Chrome or Internet Explorer this time). Once I visited Google.com, I randomly searched for similar or relevant key terms where my blog is performing on top. I visited almost all ten links as a normal user and finally visited my blog post. This time I spent little time on it and made sure I clicked the ad link and visited the ads website, spending a few more minutes on those websites to make it feel like genuine visits. I made sure that I did this task late at night from India as I was trying to maintain EST. I also made sure that I deleted my secondary user account every time I finished the click tasks. Yes! I received my 1st $100 check, but kept my methods a secret till date.

Since then, I've never revisited my Google AdSense account, deleted my blog in days and buried it all within. Why share this now? It's time to move forward, create authentic content and earn legitimately through Google AdSense. Confessing is my way to reclaim lost inner peace and finding redemption.
