Google and Traffic Exchange programmes

The usual vague imprecations here, this time about the use of Chinese teenagers to boost traffic just prior to trying to sell a site at Sitepoint.

Impressions are certainly spurious if generated by these means, but quite why, in the real world as opposed to the Googleverse, a click is more spurious than one generated by any other means is not made clear. Isn’t it unfortunate that so little is made clear.

But it’s always interesting to see a site with toolbar PR 1 and Alexa rank 14,000.
