That said, the point of this post is that sometimes when a post gets a huge traffic spike, the amount of reported clicks tends to go down rather than up. That seems odd to me and might indicate that Google has algorithms in place to notice traffic spikes and filter out some of the clicks. Maybe they have those filters in place to prevent some of the “buddy system” clicking that you are taling about.

If we break it down we are looking at blog social bookmarking members. Those very same members have their own blogs. They have each monetized their blogs to generate an income. Hoping to make a few dollars to pay their hosting accounts and maybe their ship might come in.

What I say is it is those members who refuse, flat out refuse, when they go to a site to look at an ad that might interest them.

What’s the use of monetizing your site if you don’t do for other people what you want those people to do to you.

SU and Mybloglog members will not click an ad on your site. (Unique visitor logs prove that).

Am I the only one who thinks this way? If I like a site I will click a few ads when I am finished to one; thank the owner for their efforts and two; to go to a site that interests me. I have found some great sites this way and even made a purchase.

To me that is what the system is about, not sit back, join a group and hope they will all come to you and click madly away. It does not work that way.
