Here is a blogger describing howto get anyone banned from adsense http://www.seorefugee.com/seoblog/?p=70 What can we do about that? I could easily be a big problem if for example somebody in here get pissed on another forum member
I agree with the above comment..Its basically filled with "urban legends". I was going to go through it point by point but realized after a few it was a waste of time as people who have been banned actually want to believe its that easy and keep these things alive.
Hi I read this guys BS and thats what it is pure BULLSHIT In his infinite wisdom he forgot to mention that while people could create pages of content with your Publisher ID..... People cannot host them off the server you are using to host your websites..... Google is anything but stupid and would not fall for tactics this guys lame post seems to infer.
What a fucking dumbass, as always. AdSense isn't tied to a website, or a server, moron. You log in, get a snippet of code, and put it on any damn site you want to. Why the hell do you have to open your mouth and spew crap you obviously know nothing about time and time again? Oh, by the way... sem, you ever gonna answer this post you plagiarist dip?
What did I plagerize supposedly??? Next dumb ass Google does know the IP of your website...hosting pages from another IP address would be fucking easily seen you asslicking fuck up Get your head out of your ass and go find someone intimidated by your theatrics
Still not going to address the post I asked about, the one where you were lying just to get attention? Why not? Google does not care where you put your adsense, idiot. There is nothing tying an account to a site. You can put your adsense code on any damn site you please. You don't have to tell Google, "Hey, my code is over here too, please give me money for those clicks"... just drop your adsense on the page and go. They don't care. Which means anyone can grab your id out of the code and put your ads on any site they feel like. -Michael
Let me get this straight... The URL Channel does not need to be set???? I would need to reread things but I believe the need to set the URL channel is the check to the balance or whatever??? checks and balances in other words....sure someone could lift anothers code and post on a blog account or such....I agree Just I thought that Google was smarter by using the URL Channel as the publishers verification of where their code is placed... Off to read and as for the spyware thing I went all Yahoo anyway.... Peace
I know you switched to Yahoo. Could have done it a little quicker but at least you did drop the other guys. And no, no channel needs to be selected. The default ad setup was around long before channels... those are just for your tracking purposes and yours alone. There's no URL to be specified, no hashing, nothing at all that prevents or even makes a little bit harder the act of setting up someone else's ads on a site that is against the TOS. There are no warning letters. There is no specifics as to why they say you are banned aside from either "against TOS" or "invalid clicks". As far as I know, they won't even tell you which site it was the ads that got you banned were served up on. BTW, the article I was talking about was "10 Steps To 10,000". It was a nice rewrite of Brett's article, but you claimed it as an original. There is a huge difference between changing something enough to slip past copyright laws, and putting out your own work. As far as I know you never even gave him a citation. -Michael
I just checked and you do not need to place a URL as the script tells google where the add is. So I dont really know how they prevent people from getting others banned but Im sure there is a way because even a large site like digg has their code easily viewable.
Hm, looks familiar, not quite sure where I saw that link before though... think think think... /scratches head... -Michael
These underhanded methods actually seem highly feasible. I would actually like to see someone provide a decent rebuttal because offhand I can't think of one.
I've written Adsense support for their thoughts and revelations. If this is true, and it seems plausible.....then it would seem a class action suit could be brought against Google for not protecting publishers as they have advertisers... Further by forcing publishers to use the URL reporting channel... the whole fricking thing would be a non issue
Gotta be careful though, that would kill this sites revenue sharing program. What would be better would be a textarea where users could list a bunch of acceptable domains, with an option box "Only show my ads on these domains". Bam, problem solved. -Michael
Why I have DP set as a URL Channel with no problems.... Setting the URL in the URL channel is akin to the textbox with a radio button but that I dont think should be an option... It should just be the default that your ads are placed only on the URLs you specify I just wonder if they'll respond..... They did last year when I asked them if I could put adsense in my craigslist ad postings They said no lol
You're right, missed that. Been a while since I generated new code, was thinking you only had the custom channel creation. -Michael
