Default just got a great idea, but it borders illegal

I was thinking of starting a site, it would be structured like a forum, and membership would be free. It would be a site with an adsense-related domain. Members could join, and then post their adsense ads in the forum, and then other members from the forum would click their ads for them, it would be something where everyone would click each other's ads so it is basically like a robin hood adsense site. Everyone takes money from google and gives it to each other. Everyone would have to keep clicking though so the site doesn't die down.

Anyways, what do you guys think of this?

You may need to provide more detail to get some serious answers. Personally I feel living in a canoe for a week would be more than the average person could stand. It can only hold just so much food and water.

What wilderness? Where? The Allagash? You might do well visiting some websites that are already in the business and get some ideas there, and then return here with specifics. Good luck.

Cheers,

I know, that is what i was checking for, if it was that kind of businesses. I already have several and am starting another (http://www.Lucidly.com), what do you think?

I was just thinking with this business the only party that loses money would be Google, and how are they going to get hurt from that? I know it is not exactly the best thing, I was just getting people's opinions on it, I probably won't do it.

The thing you want to make sure of - digitalpoint does this - is that the users are not clicking their own ads.

And you want to get an attorney to review Google's TOS and make sure that everything is compliant, otherwise you run the risk of all our members losing their membership to Google Adsense

I'm fairly confident that your adsense account would be suspended if google got word of this type of thing. And trust me - it wouldn't take long for google to find out.

Just my opinion.

Do they actually offer something like that where members click each other's ads?

The big difference between digitalpoint and lucidly's idea is that DP does not directly encourage people to click google ads. DP has quality content with ads mixed in. From what I'm reading, this site's sole purpose is to click on each others ads - which is where I believe the problem lies.
