Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday May 3, 2004 @07:46AM from the just-one-more-popup dept.

TI-99/4A's RULE writes "Just when I thought I'd heard everything, I just read that, according to The Times of India, there are hordes of people in India clicking pay per click ads for a share of the CPC earnings. Have we gone back to the dotcom boom days again where people are tossing money away on stuff like this? Or is this just a temporary blip, with paid-per action sites like CurrentCodes representing more of a norm in online marketing?"

How hard would it be to write a program to do this? Hell, you could make one using AutoIT. Seems kinda silly to pay a person when a program would do it for free. . .
