Here's a little warning to you all.

A few days ago I got a message from one of the users at Entrecard asking me to do an ad-click-trade. He clicks on my Google Adsense ads and I click on his so that we both earn money.

This is not allowed by the Google terms and most (I think all) ad companies got something in their terms forbidding this kind of activity. It's also imoral. If you advertise at a site you want real visitors actually interested in your products/services, not jerks trying to earn a few bucks. Advertising is expensive enough without these cheaters

When you see stuff like this report the cheaters directly to all ad networks they use, because if they can't earn any money cheating they will hopefully learn a lesson not to try again.

Don't join these bad guys, fight them!
