How randomly clicking online ads hurt bloggers

Did you know that randomly clicking ads on a website can be fraud? It is. It can also get a site removed from the internet and eliminate a blogger's source of income. The reason for this is that advertisers pay good money to put their product before your eyes. They have a reasonable expectation that people who click the ads will be interested enough to look at the product or buy it.

Gayle talking to an interested group.

Have you ever been to a home jewelry, make-up, clothing or plastic container party? Same idea. A hostess invites friends to a home party because the friends may be interested in the product. Money is spent to buy refreshments and invitations with the expectation that people are interested in the product.

The hostess loses money when disinterested people come, munch and leave. When a item sells, the hostess earns a commission. When it happens enough, the products stop arriving and the parties end.

This is exactly how randomly clicking online ads hurt bloggers.  Our blogs are the home party that you have been invited to attend. We assume that something in the blog interests you enough that you will essentially join the party. If you see something that you like, then by all means, make the purchase. Otherwise, don't because random clicks through online ads hurt bloggers like myself.

Just as importantly, leave a comment when you visit. The messages help keep the information flowing. What I learn may help you and what you learn may help me. I'm always on the outlook for other blogs with tips that will help my family. (The Duggar family is an example.) Some of the most valuable tips come from readers aka "you".

I am glad that you decided to come to the "party" and hope you enjoy my blog. My hope is that it will be around long after we have become debt free. My writing appears on other sites. If you like to travel, then check out You've Been Reviewed. My photography appears on Red Gage. Those links have fun stuff and information that you may want to read.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope that you take time to read my other articles on My Out Debt Journey. Be sure to follow me on Networked blogs (link on the left) to journey with my family.
