Not a Vlog: Blog Gets Ad Clicks Through Friendster

Saturday, September 15, 2007

It seems like people are getting more and more "creative" (or sneaky) in getting visitors to click on their ads. It could be as blatant as what Karlo posted. Or. It could be as subtle as this:

A Friendster message I got:

From: felony

Date: Monday, 10 September, 2007 9:47 AM

Subject: elow po!

Message: elow po!
i saw your profile,just looking around
share ko lang po yung mga blessings sa akin ng program na kumita ako ng pera,
kahit pa po estudyante pwede kumita ng pera ng hindi umaalis ng bahay.ang saya nga eh!
student pa lang po ako and i tried my best to earn money,sa computer shop ko nga lang ginagawa yung program nila eh,its so simple!,nung una nga po akala ko hindi totoo,nung mga ilang weeks na nakita ko na yung mga earnings ko!after 1 month may cheque na dumating para sa akin!,nakakatulong na nga ako sa mga parents ko eh!ang saya nga eh!hindi po ito "scam" ksi na feature na yung mga program nila sa mel and joey gma 7
panoorin mo na lang sa site yung video. Check mo muna para makita mo. Pag gusto muna mag register
mamili ka lang ng program nila nasa gitna yun sa
"Sponsored links"

yun lang po info ko :)
thanks and good luck po:)

I assume she (or he) wanted everyone to see this since she wanted to "share her blessings" which made her randomly send people this message.

And oh, I guess her name was already a huge warning. Brilliant.

Oh well. I wonder what Google thinks of this.
