Are google ads cheating for clicks?

go to any youtube video...and try to close the ad on the video
as you are about to press the close button....the ad moves up, so if you were to press close you would click the ad.

no biggie for the surfer, just close the page and watch the video
however someone is paying for that.

Isn't it spooky that they know when you are about to click "Close"? Big Brother, I tell ya.

It's very easy to do that in actionscript 3. Matter of coordinates.

Google is beyond corrupt, and is borderline useless. This is one company that needs to be brought down a few notches.

You don't expect Google to actually follow the rules that they impose on us?

To pad their pockets I think they lower the rank of some adword buying sites.

Edit: in the hopes they buy more ads

Now that you mention it, last 2 week every time I watched a youtube video all of a sudden the video stoped halfway and a banner offering software to speed up Macs appeared. I'm on a Mac. It hasn't happened again since Saturday and I wonder if it they were doing it on purpose to make me click on that ad.

I like how I search Amazon for sd cards and moments later YouTubes ads are sd card related.

You ever wish there was some bizarre silent underground international assassination team they kept the worlds checks and balances in line?

Like, anyone who fucked over the public too much or was just pure evil got put on a public check list of executions.. and they always got their man?

Hmm.. whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeeeam... dreeeeam dream dream.

All of this.. hypothetical.. of coarse.

Thats the nature of some ad agencies, they do a good job basically. As an advertiser, you would want your ad for tigerdirect appearing on sites if you knew a client had been searching on tigerdirect for a new computer. etc. Pretty soon there'll be banner ads in our dreams interrupting our sex with super models.

I think on youtube though, what you mention is in full screen mode and happens because the toolbar just happens to hide right when the banner appears.

That is not used for banner adds to make you click so much as war to make you comply.

I must have clicked those ads a dozen times in the past week. That's one way to raise clickthru rates.
