India is the biggest source of click fraud

Techcrunch has an interesting article on the rise of click fraud activities in 2007, which declares 2007 as the worst year for online ad monetisation. The stats even state that “one out of every three clicks on a Google or Yahoo ad is fraudulent.”

The most shameful part is that India is the largest single source (4.3 percent) of online click fraud activities. This just proves how we use our ‘overly’ intelligent Indian minds – which is the major reason Indians aren’t respected; even online. People want to earn money from us, by uncovering the talent over here, but all they get in return is a bunch of untrustworthy bastards who are always ready to stab you in your back for your money. We Indians don’t realise that if they spend half of the time spent on thinking of different cheating systems, on making your website/blog more useful to the internet, or spend time in writing quality content and building sustainable traffic, then you could earn much more, and that too – cleanly!

All of us very well know about the TOS, still we try to outsmart the system by using various methods. But in the end, you can never earn as much using cheating as you can by spending time and working hard on the monetisation of your site.

Other countries which are just behind our footsteps are – Germany (3.9 percent), and South Korea (3.7 percent).
