RE: How You Can Help Steemit, Inc Make Money (And Why You Should)

What Can We Do? It's pretty simple really - seek out the ads on steemit.com and click on them.

Please, please do not do this.

It's against Google's terms and conditions and they will ban Steemit's account.

Here is an article from someone this happened to:

In case you think you are the first person to think of this clicking scheme, don't. People have been trying this since Adsense launced in 2005, and Google detects and clobbers them every single time. They can tell where the clicker comes from (has the sequence of loginpage-> article->click. Or if it has the sequence of google search result -> article ->click. They can tell if certain users are excessively clicking from one source of publishers. (remember they track people across the web).

If you really want to help, you need to encourage people to write about stuff that ordinary people will read that will get ranked in the search engines and traffic from the search engines, not endless stuff about cryotocurrency and hardforks.
