    Hi,

    I would like to know if you find any site violating the TOS of Adsense, What should you do?

    I found a site few days ago violating TOS by few ways.

    Like 1) Attracting visitor to click on Google Ads
    2) Using POPUP ads of another publishers.

    I informed the website owner about these issues but he/she completely neglect me.

    Now question is What should I do? I want to protest it strongly.

    Any opinion welcome.

    Thanks

    lol why would you want to disturb people, guess you're very free since you can even email them and want to report them :s Is it your job to search for sites that are violating anything? lol

    That's just my opinion :) Whenever i see such sites, I don't even bother, let alone waste my time, will i benefit? no. Maybe just jealous lol

    Just don't ever make an autoblog w/ Adsense on it.

    example. Wordpress blog with caffeinated content plugin installed w/ adsense on it.

    big No No.

    Don't be a tattle tail. Just let Google find this out for themselves. Now that you email the webmater they have your info so if they get dinged you can expect some retribution.

    When I was new to blogging I also passed the stage wherein I see sites displaying ads on 'X sites', floating divs, and even those sites that seems to be just like an Adsense page with a title.

    Then I realized, what will I benefit when I report this site? You'll only gain enemies online.

    One site got banned after I reported it. It was hosting videos that are fully explicit in content. Unfortunately, he was able to track me down and he did everything he can, to get Adsense attention to ban my site. Things like spamming Youtube with his self-made videos asking to visit my site and click my ads, which I got many visitors from. He also posted spam comments to justinTV, friendster, on other websites and even through email. The sad thing is, Adsense fell for it and that site got banned for "massive promotion to click ads".

    why would you want to do that? worry your own and if you have a lots free time do some volunteer work at your community. I dont think Google need your help :)
