India's Secret Army Of Online Ad 'Clickers'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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?"

    I dont know how /. could select such a silly story to be published. These things are going from the days dotcom came up and do anyone of your personally know a person who has earned money just by clicking the ads. We hear about these things a lot and there is lot of "wanted Ad Clickers" mails come to everyones' mailboxes,but they are filtered along with the usual quota of spam. Publishing such a news, demands some Spam Filter to be run on /. or CmdrTaco or CowboyNeal postings.

    Oh my god the humanity!

    What is up with the infatuation those southpark people have with homosexual solutions to non-sexual problems? Such as public transportation, in the form of a dildo powered bike and this latest one are the most blatent.

    Maybe they just have a large latent homosexual crowd watching them, maybe it is just good marketing?
