Avoiding Click Fraud

As a Google Adsense affiliate, when telling your family or friends about your web site it might be best to avoid telling them that you earn money through people clicking on your ads.

While you'd be happy if they clicked on websites naturally with the intent to purchase something or sign up for a refferal program, you don't want people trying to 'help you out' by simply clicking on your Google Ads otherwise Google will terminate your account for click fraud. It's best to let things happen naturally in the case of these types of affiliate programs.
