Clicking Your own Ads from Different IPs ?

Abhishek asks:
1. What if I keep on clicking ads thru diff IPs, but the same computer? Actually I have a dial up connection, so my IP address changes every time I disconnect.
2. If you have your own site, then how do you earn? I mean just through adsense or is there any other way too?

Answer:
1. I would advice you not to click on your own ads. This is against the Google TOS and you can get banned by doing so. Once banned you are banned for ever, although there are some work-arounds. There are complex algorithms that are employed to track the click patterns. Simply, it’s not worth the risk to click your own ads. Always think long term and it’s easy that many people thing to get a decent traffic. Go through this article on how to make your blog better.

2. Once you have a web site with decent traffic figures, the monetizing possibilities are endless. The simplest and quickest to set up is adsense. Keep experimenting with your ads and figure out what works best for you. Believe me; work works for another site may not work for you. But then, there are certain things like, size of the ad unit that may work well in most sites. There are a handful of similar programs, but the best one is Adsense.

Another way to monetize is through affiliate programs. You can join some affiliate program that sells stuff that would interest your users. Do a little up selling on your site and send users to the sellers sales page. When your users buy, you get a commission.

Yet another option to monetize is by selling your own products. The easiest of them is information products like ebooks. You may be an expert in your own field and if you come up with some ebook, your users will be more than eager to buy.

Hope that would help you in monetizing better.
