Advice on Pay Per Click Afiiliation

About 8 years ago, I signed up my website to anb Affiliation site which paid for each click through to its website from my site.

I was only 18 at the time and while sat bored in college, I managed to do this hundreds of times a day, eventually racking up enough clicks to earn myself £50. After receiving this first cheque, I stopped doing it due to leaving college and basically not being bothered to do it anymore.

However, I am now in a job where I work long night shifts and am thinking of maybe doing this again.

The exam question on this one is: Are there any laws surrounding these sort of schemes. For example, if i were to click through thousands of times and earn £100 a month doing this, am I committing any sort of crime???

Thanks!

    You will find that ppc is now much more sophisticated than 8 years ago. Google Adsense for example tracks what ip clicks what ads etc and if their is an abuse of the system then the owner of the site is "kicked off" the program. I think your "easy money" scam is now outdated. Sorry :(

    If you abuse the system you may find you get your account closed and loose any monies coming so always adhere to the rules they state
