Click on Ads = BAN

To all the Nuffnangers out there,

I know its New Year but I've got a bad news for you.

Do you know that you CAN'T ask people to CLICK ON YOUR ADS?

No, not on the remote control!

No, not on this mouse either!

But on THIS mouse.

I wrote it on my blog post once, asking people to click on my ads.
However, my friend, Shang Yi, told me that it is against the terms and conditions of advertisers, including Googleadsense.
(Hey, terms and conditions are there for a reason okay? Haha.)

Then, I joined innit and realised that there are actually many bloggers who practiced that.
I was wondering that maybe it's legal afterall.

Thus, I emailed Nuffnang to clear off any doubts. =)

This is the reply :


So unfortunately, it's time to take off that "Click on my ads" words.
You don't want to get BANNED.

Nevertheless,
Have a nice day & Happy New Year!

=)

  1. Hi dear!
    Happy New Year!

    Well, that's what my friend told me too. That's why I never asked people to click on my ads unless they drop by in my blog and tell me that they clicked mine --->> I'll click theirs after that. (I do hope it's okay with it)

  2. yeah it's considered cheating if you ask your friends to click on the ads.

    zara : I guess that should be pretty fine. I do the same too.

  6. I did tell my readers to "Click on ads that interest them"

    I think it's essential to tell them about your affliation with nuffnang ads, so they will not mistake it for some scam

  10. Haha~ Well I never actually ask ppl to click on the ad in my blog, as I think the content on the blog is more important than the ad~

    So I follow all of my blogger fren~ read their post and in the end give some support to them by commenting and also "click click^^"

    Haha~ hope you will always follow me too^^

  20. Just last month I checked a featured blogger of Nuffnang and she wrote "tak kelik dapat buasir" on top of her Nuffnang ads. How ironic. How come Nuffnang can miss that?

  22. sorry...missed that Elaine...

    I got used to using the word 'bro' till I forgot to use 'sis'

    really sorry..haha..

  23. well, the ads are called advertisements. and advertisements advertise things which attracts people who are interested with the content thus clicking on it to find out more.

    now which part of the word advertisement, tells you that it is a mechanism to generate revenue?
