This is hilarious. This guy ask people to click on the advertisements to get their software listed on his page. It is just like telling Google, “Hey, please close our AdSense account !”
If you can’t read the text, here it is:
To complete the submission process, we require you to click on the Advertisement below to make sure that this is not an automated submission and to help us account for our expenses. After you click on the advertisement, please let the whole page load and do check out what our advertisers want to convey; it is quality information and is very much targeted towards you. After this, you can close the browser window at your convenience. We track this activity and process submissions which have completed this action within 2 business days.
ablaye at Digital Points Forums says it well
This guy is funny.
Does he really think he is going to get away with this???
Oh, by the way, you must use Internet Explorer to complete this action. Probably to deceive Googlebot, or maybe the “validation” script only works in IE. When the page is opened on Firefox, this is what it says.
Although we have received information about your program, there is one more action you need to perform to complete the submission process. This action can only be performed in Internet Explorer. To complete this final action, copy and paste the following url in IE and follow the instructions on the page.
And, well, beside the obvious “Please click here”, it is also against AdSense TOS to display AdSense on non-content pages, like on confirmation page.
Update: Initially, the title of this posting was “Please click our ads. No, really.” But seems like it is too risky, along the AdSense TOS borderline of what can and cannot be written.
