We have another policy blog post for you this week, in response to questions we often get about whether it's okay to encourage clicks for a good cause.
Hope it helps clear up any concerns you might have. -AdSensePro
As publishers, we have to think about the advertisers. Encouraging this will just waste their money because obviously the users clicking on the ads won't even show interest in what's on the page.

Charity, form advertisers advertising budjets? is it fair!! i don't think doing click froad should be allowed, wheather for good or bad, an instant ban is what is required.
why don't the publishers including me, just get the money and do whatever they want with it, why asking for clicks or charity from the website, http://sitefunda.com thanks,
lol,smart answer I think its fair when you get your check to donate to charity or whatever you wanna do. & why you wanna scream when you doing charity.

Yes, it is fraud. As a very small business person, the umpteen thousands of clicks on my ads every week as reported by Google, who charged a huge amount of money for, but didn't generate even ONE tiny sale, nearly put my business under. If I want to donate to charity, I want to choose the charity, and I want to be the one to receive the tax benefits from it. Click fraud is terrible for small business, it is selfish and malicious, and even if it is painted with the 'charity' brush it is misleading and dishonest. I can't use Google ads until I am sure that my ads are clicked on by people who are truly interested in my products, and not by people who just want to take my money with no benefit to me through the conduit of Google.

I fee the same way as you do as a small business, I was paying $500 a month for a lot of clicks with very little sales. When you do searches under making money. Their are a couple of business, that you sign up for and you get people under u to get their tool bar, and as you search the INTERNET, you make money from Goggle. What I don't understand how some of the company's keep their company's up with this kind of action. So I had put my items on shopping sites, because they can see the pictures of items, descriptions. When they are seeing picture, description, and cost. they click your site, and you see they leave right away. It makes it hard to not think someone is surfing the net to make money. I think Goggle is trying hard to make a great market place. But something has to be done with these company's are making money to click.

What about sites like ripple.org and gcharity.com that have Google Adsense for Search and donate all the proceeds to charity? Are they allowed? They seem to get a lot of press without Google shutting them down.
Can a non-profit charity use AdSense for search to raise money for its activities such as isara.org? This ad revenue is not being donated to a third party, but being used to fund their own programs.
