Google rakes in big?!

There is a ripple effect on other niche players in the market that also survive on Google's business model sourcing adverts. This Includes the success of my portal GaramChai.com that caters to the niche immigrant community...

Nice cashflow........do I smell fraud?

My first thought was does Google have the expertise to create bots to click through? If so, they may as well kick it 42%. Or is that too blatant?

Maybe, but....

They have the position to do anything they want. They could go in and just charge someone for 1,000 extra clicks if they wanted to (ignoring the legal side of it) ...... but the companies forking out the money for those clicks are obviously seeing value and a ROI for what they're paying which means that those numbers are real and not done by robots.
