To make it work you would need to program some bots to do nothing but click on certain advertisers, 24/7.
Any enterprising FR techie wanna write a downloadable script that could do this automatically?
“To make it work you would need to program some bots to do nothing but click on certain advertisers, 24/7.”
If this would work, what’s to keep Google or any other online business from paying someone to set up such a bot to ‘click’ on their advertisers. I would think it would be illegal, but that won’t stop people from trying.
What we should do is take up Scott Adams’ proposal and demand anti-trust legislation against Google. They control:
* 90%+ of online advertising
* a large minority of online content and bias search results toward what they own, Google+, Youtube, Google Books
* are so big that their restrictions on content and biases against it in search engine results or outright censorship on Youtube interferes with our right to free speech. It is as if we sold the public square to Zuckerberg and Google, and the little corner they allow conservatives far from the beaten path is tolerated because hey, they’re private companies.
