Never thought of scam clicks. Agree with your thoughts. What a powerful scam that would be if so.

I'm confused. You click on their ads to hurt them?

I think it is because each click costs them money.

The mouse was concieved by Douglas Engelbart around 1968. You must have used one in the interviening years I would have thought? How could you not know that clicking on an advertisement on a web page generated revenue for ad brokers such as Google? It’s one of the ways AFF receives revenue from the content.

It’s also a mountain in Alaska!

“Denali is the tallest land-based mountain on Earth—with a vertical rise of about 18,000 feet, as well as the highest mountain peak in North America—with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet above sea level. Wikipedia”

But more apt I suggest is this quote

“Barack Obama to give Mount McKinley back its Native American name. Highest peak in North America to be renamed Denali, an Athabascan word meaning 'the high one'.”

My first OS trip was to Alaska/Denali national Park via the Yukon road trip 20+yrs ago. Hope to take hubby there one day.
