The overwhelming majority of the population has no clue what Google AdSense is and doesn’t understand that Google and the site owner make money when they click on an ad.

By placing these ads in locations that people tend to focus on (Google gives you examples of locations that result in the highest click through), it’s inevitable that a certain percentage of visitors will click on the ads – either intentionally or unintentionally.

Made for AdSense, MFA, sites are designed for the sole purpose of getting you to click on a Google AdSense advertisement.

A site is NOT made for AdSense if its primary purpose is to provide unique content and the site owner decides to keep their content free by displaying advertisements, AdSense or other.

Its owners don’t intend that users will learn from its content or participate in a community. All that they want is for them to click on an ad.

Site owners make anywhere from a five cents to several dollars per click (revenue is split between them and Google) depending on the industry. Big deal right? If you convert 5% of users into clicks and you make 10 cents a click, you’re only making 50 cents for every hundred visitors to your site.

Well if you make a thousand MFA sites with automated software and each gets two hundred visitors a day, you are making a cool $1,000/day.

Smart MFA site owners design sites with keywords that advertisers pay more than the standard 20 cents or 30 cents. They design sites with “content” about lawyers and car companies that purchase AdWords advertisements that cost several dollars a click. Re-do that calculation with five dollars a click instead of 10 cents and your jaw will drop.

Some would argue that no one is getting hurt by “tricking” people into clicking.

The business that’s pouring their hard earned money into Google AdWords to attract TARGETED visitors to their site gets hurt by such a manipulation of the visitors because they end up paying for accidental clicks.

And you, the searcher, also get hurt by getting less than optimal results. I’m sure you’d be glad to have Internet without those sites where you actually have a chance at finding what you’re looking for on the first try..
