Crap - one of those ideas of “Why didn’t I think of that!?”
Well, except for the illegal and stealing from someone. But it does seem pretty simple (to a layman like me). I didn’t read the article, but I guess set up lots of various blogs that run the ads on them. Then design software that pretends to be a person clicking on the ad. Then get the royalty or whatever they call it. Any idea how much the blogger makes each ad click? 5 cents maybe???
Just looked it up; “1000 ad impressions earn one dollar”.
Facebook basically did the same thing.
