Click Fraud Criminal Captured

It's almost surreal. While in the middle of updating my websites and having spent the better part of 2 hours on the task which today consisted of acquiring a new template. When you change templates you're then fairly obligated to change some of your advertisements as well...you know for better flow and blending etc....So as I'm just about ready to finish updating my Google Adsense banners, headers, boxes, etc....I get kicked back into the log in page. Not thinking too much about this I then proceed to login. I then get a message indicating that no such user account exists for Adsense.Still not too worried I simply think to myself that they're probably doing some work on the system and it will be unavailable for a while. No prob. I proceed then to my email accounts to check them all since it has been at least two hours I'd guess at this point since I looked at them. I see a message from Google Adsense....hmmmm I think...."Click"Dear Sir.....or some such greeting....it's come to our attention that invalid clicks have originated from your site...blah blah blah....as a result your account has been disabled." I look around the den to see if there's some kind of candid camera thing going on since the wife started her vacation today.....Not seeing anything terribly out of the ordinary, I go back to the message to see if I can tell if it actually came from the Google Gods. Looked real....I better hit reply and clear this up right away I think to myself...So I do. I send an email asking them to simply look again at my account (hopefully with HUMAN eyes) and tell me how it is I'm cheating the system. Since March or whenever I was reluctantly allowed into this social fraternity I have not quite made enough pennies to purchase an 18 pack of Coors Light (11.99 Deposit here). Nevermind the Google Gods don't bother sending checks of such pittance, as they require you to make at least 100.00 prior to issuing a Google God Check.As of this writing my email "prayer" remains circulating somewhere in Dante's Fifth Circle I would guess (is that the gluttony one)? Sometime ago I wrote about the perils of PPC advertising and what it all meant to the run-of-the-mill advertiser and publisher. Realistically, I postulated, Google (et al) need to get their house in order and deal with the rampant PPC click fraud going on....It now seems evident that blogtommy is the evil behind click fraud. Yes folks the Google Gods have figured it out. Rest easy now as the 12.00 account has been returned to the Poor advertisers ripped off by the likes of me. And the world is at peace again....or is it?It always bothered me that I was unable to squelch my direct competitors ads from running on my site through the Google God Machine despite seeking to do so through their laughable filter. It's not shocking that one or more of my "competitors/enemies" would have no problem in inflating my clicks....but that's just it.....They're not INFLATED! I believe I made .39 cents yesterday and thought the stats were weird for two reasons. 1) I made .39 cents!!!! whohoooooooo....2) Because the Google God search engine was hit like 5 times and had 3 results (in several months it had less than 10 inquiries). Did I do it? No. Did my wife or best friend do it? Damn them if they did! How dare they jeopardize my mil....errr....half rack in such blind thoughtless passion. Well no, they didn't do it either and it this wasn't so laughable I suppose it could irritate some folks. Oh wait....It has.Do a Search (even using the Google God instrument if you must) and type in "Google Sucks." Only do this if and when willing to spend some time reading. Wowza! Lots to peruse and many out there lost more than a few beers....some were in the brewery stage it appears. Class action law suits and the like. UGLY.....But here's the good news folks....Cheer up! You're worries are over. The Culprit is caught and banned from the fraternity. Blogtommy is no longer welcome in the Google Godship. Blogtommy has been cast out and sent to the dark side to conjure up potions against the Godfearing Google God Machine......"mirror mirror on the wall, whose the Godliest of them all?" PEACE...............................T
