Seth Godin

Seth has suggested clicking on Google ads as a way of saying "Thank you!" to the bloggers who create content you like to read. Of course, a donation button should be clicked instead if you really like it.
But in his defence there is something I need to say:
Not all clickfrauds are created equal, and while clickfraud in general is downright theft, and encouragement to click a couple of ads can still benefit the company which is paying for the ad. It's exposure. No, I do not believe in clicking Google ads to say "thank you", but let's not forget that real clickfraud, the one costing advertisers billions, involves high volume clicks and not a couple of clicks here and there to say "thank you" to a blogger.
What I have noticed is that many people on several networks already are doing this.
