YOU not reading documentation is to MY advantage

I’ve convinced a friend to signup for Google AdSense recently—yep, that’s right, REFERRAL POINTS! Ironically, I specifically told him to read the documentation for AdSense and Blogger (the blog site I instructed him to set up an account with), but it turns out that he didn’t even bother to flip through a single page.

So what’s the end result? He hasn’t a clue what he’s doing; totally incorrect Google AdSense code placement. His solution? Ask me for my template coding, which has AdSense ads and a bunch of other stuff already implemented. I assumed that he was merely using it as reference, and that he would be smart enough to at least alter the simpler stuff.

Well, I assumed wrong. I logged onto my Google AdSense account, and found something interesting. I got a minor spike in my earnings of the day. I check my logs (Site Meter), and it apparently, a bunch of visits wasn’t to my http://kickasskev.blogspot.com, instead, it was to some other Blogger page.

Hmm…that’s suspicious. I give my coding away to someone, and I suddenly have an increase in revenue. Could it be that it was from his negligence, that I have a spike in my daily earnings? Either way, it’s all good. Forget massive amounts of content, bundled with extensive search engine optimization! This is a ridiculously easy way to increase Google AdSense revenues.

So basically, the Google AdSense clicks that were supposed to be credited to his balance, got credited to me instead. It's beautiful, I have a PageRank of ZERO, and I still manage to get revenue off Google Adsense. Good stuff.

This is a perfect example why you should always read the documentation. It saves me the trouble of having to explain time and time again, and you don’t lose out on things.
