That’s not an unreasonable punishment! After all - what you’re doing is defrauding Google’s advertisers - because they will be charged for your visit, without getting what they pay for.

The question is: Does this leave a golden opportunity for someone to hurt your AdSense income? Let’s assume for a minute that you’ve built a good AdSense income. You’ve also made an enemy or two. Is there anything stopping them from coming to your site - clicking your ads 20-30 times - and wipe out your income?

The answer is: No! Sounds scary? It should! Once you get banned - you’ve had it! It is extremely difficult to persuade Google to let you back in into AdSense once they’ve shut you out.

So - when it comes to protecting your AdSense income - it’s a good idea to be pro-active. Yes - it’s important to check your stats for the purpose of monitoring your click-through-rates and earnings, but you should also look out to make sure that no one is trying to land you in trouble with Google.

If you can see that your ads had a lot of clicks in a short amount of time - and from the same IP address - don’t wait for Google to get in touch! Their letter probably won’t be pleasant reading. Drop them a line right away - tell them that you have detected some suspicious clicks on your site - and ask them to investigate.

Don’t be surprised if they write back to you, telling you that those clicks won’t be counted towards your revenues, and that the money earned has been refunded to the advertisers. At least you still have an AdSense account - and you’ll still be earning.

Admittedly - it doesn’t happen very often that someone goes out of their way - to cause problems for AdSense publishers. Most people you meet on AdSense forums, social networking sites, and other online communities are good decent folk, who only wants to help.

It’s worth remembering though, that your site is vulnerable, and you should be taking steps to protect your AdSense revenue. After all - you install anti-virus software and firewalls on your computer - to protect it from external enemies. Keep a close eye on your AdSense stats - and be the first to make a move if you spot something suspicious.

                                         Ways To Make Money Fast

Are there legal and ethical ways to make money fast? Of course there are, but they're primarily short term solutions. Use them for to raise some money quickly, but don't think these are get-rich-quick plans. With that in mind, here are a few ways to make some money fast.

Sell More Of Your Time
I likethis way least, but it is one of the most reliable. Work longer hours at work, or get another job. This way to make money fast has the added benefit of taking away time you might otherwise use spending more money. Get shifts from other employees, stay late at work (if you are paid hourly), volunteer for holidays. If you don't like this plan, keep reading...

Sell Your Time For More
This is a slightly better way. To sell time for more money, do one of three things. Look for a higher-paying job, negotiate a raise (this works best after the first option), or get paid for what you produce, if you are a productive worker. This last one could mean getting paid by the piece in some jobs, or getting paid commissions in a sales job.

Arbitrage Based On Your Expertise
What is arbitrage? Buying low and selling high in markets that have pricing inefficiencies. Suppose a used car of a particular model and year normally sells for $4,500 - and you know this. Watch for an opportunity to buy this car for less, and you can resell it for a quick profit. I know people who regularly make $1,000 to $3,000 per vehicle buying and selling cars out of their front yard.

It's not about cars, though, but about the principle. Where is your expertise - what can you put a price on and find a buyer for? I knew someone who regularly bought used restaurant equipment for half of what others were paying. Even engagement rings and dogs are "turned" for a profit in this way.

If you have no cash saved for this plan, get a credit card advance. Paying $100 in fees and interest is unimportant if you make $1000 buying and reselling a coin collection, right? No credit? Get a partner. If my friend who knows boat prices ever tells me he can get a $5,000 boat for $3,000, I'll put up the money for half of the profit. I love making hundreds of dollars in just weeks just by playing with money - and others do too.

Flip A House
Essentially, you offer a low price for a home (often a fixer-upper), and put in the offer the right to assign the contract. You also put a clause in there letting you cancel the contract if you can't get financing - your risk-free way out. Then you find an investor who will buy the contract from you for, say $8,000 (he expects to make even more when he fixes and sells the home).

Your risk? Mostly time. I have known people who have done this repeatedly, making as much as $20,000 at a time. Education and experience helps a lot here, because without it you can waste a lot of time - your own and other's.

More Ways To Make Money Fast
Sell your things if you aren't using them, or if you just value more the other things you'll do with the money.

Have a business? Sell accounts receivable. The buyers call the process "factoring." I have a friend who often has $15,000 owed to him by various clients, and is always facing cash-flow problems. He could sell these accounts receivable tomorrow to raise cash, but I don't tell him. They do sell at a discount, after all, and this constant reducing of long-term income to raise short-term cash can be a bad habit to develop. It is a way to raise money fast, though.

Cut your expenses. Cancel the movie channels. Buy a cheap used car for cash and get rid of your car payment. list every single thing you spend money on, and find ways to spend less for half of them. If you are surviving now, and can spend $500 less per month, you can bank that money and effectively make money fast.

Use whatever you've got to make money fast. Have a home? You could rent rooms. If you are single, you could rent a room instead of an apartment, and bank the difference. Extra time? Start a business on the side. If I want to make more money fast, I can mail an offer to my lists. Of course, this is because I put in the time to build my internet business, which brings up an important point.

If you think you'll start a business today and be rich in a few months, you're probably doomed to struggling forever. It's not that it's impossible. Take away a rich man's last penny, and chances are he'll have more money than you three months later. But this is because he has spent years learning about money, and making contacts.

 
Some of these ways may seem too mundane. Perhaps they are, but then, how much do you want that money? If you were to move to a cheaper apartment, get a raise, work Saturdays, sell your unused things, and buy and sell something for a profit once each month, you could bank a lot of money relatively fast. Enough to start a real business for longer-term wealth building.
