Blog of an Unorthodox Loyalist

I got an invitation from the Black Hat community! I won’t say much but here is an excerpt from a message I got:

"You can try something else and earn money.This what all the people are doing and earning alot. "I will open your site ads(only 3 times a month and 4 ads each time with time gap of minutes for each)".With this agreement we both can earn 15$ per month. So imagin if you have 10 friends like this you will cheque everymonth What do you say? I followed when some one offered me same and got succeded. Think and reply to start out mission."

I refused the offer but the message left me a lot of thoughts. Is this the way new people make money over the internet? That’s how they are so successful? I have made a bit from adsense but this may be a good offer! Why should I waste my time writing good content and promoting my blog? Instead, I can make 10 or 20 such friends and earn a lot!

Such things disappoint me a lot! Hundreds of new bloggers adopt White Hat techniques but a bit of such Black Hats make all their efforts a waste!

I can sit and hope Google to catch these criminals. What else can I do? Yes, I can do a lot! Why not report to Google? So, I have got a plan! I can contact them through the "Ads by Google" text of their ads. By clicking on ads, I can send a message to Google team. I have done this twice before and will have to do it again. So, I will send this person a mail accepting the offer and ask his url. However, I will not click his ads neither click his ads. I just need to know the url and that’s it!

Why am I doing all this? The answer is simple, I love ethics and right ways. When someone greedy makes money this way, it will affect all of us. Imagine, if 50% of bloggers are engaged in such criminal activities, ad networks will finally close down. They will make money but not let the others make it! This is just a hypothetical situations but conditions may get worse. So, I will report this guy!

What you have to say? Am I right or not? Should I complain or not?
