Sketchy Techniques

I just wrote a post about Blogflux and their Page Rank Checker. I was digging around more on their site. They have some sketchy tactics.

Matter of fact I thought of this trick a few months ago. I discussed it with my dad and we came to the conclusion that it was spammy and a bit sketchy.

The idea was to have dropdown menus above your adsense ads. So when you hover on the dropdowns, they cover your ads. The trick is to make them dissapear quickly so the user clicks on the ads instead of the drop down menu.

This is bad because people pay for advertising. They want people to click the ads because they are interested, not because they are tricked into clicking.

Needless to say, I scratched the idea and decided to be honest. Wish I could say the same for Blogflux. Shame on you!
