This is the one that made my blood boil .... a click club of sorts or click trading http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=256085 what else would one call it?
Okay these are bad- Hilarious but bad- I want to put on my website- SEND US YOUR CASH but I won't. The bigger question is why are so many people so focused on what others are doing and less time working on their sites- For every scumbag you cut down, two will pop up- that's life are you gonna troll the net for the adsense crusader...spend your time building sites, getting adsense revenue the proper way- they will get dealt with in time...Nothing stays in the dark forever
I take it you don't do PPC or adwords. If you did you may think differently. It only takes a few minutes to find several sites ... 'Nothing stays in the dark forever' unless its not reported. Obviously Google has a hard time finding the sites that just take a few minutes.
Picture, if you will, your ads showing up with the little signs above them saying "click me so I can keep this site running" Then, picture the average websurfer saying...okay, you've got such a great red site I'll click. "Click" "Back Arrow" Now, what are your feelings about this? You have just unknowingly contributed to this scammer's coffers. Would you rather the site be allowed to do this for a few weeks or months until it is discovered "officially" or would you rather someone, maybe someone in this thread, reported the site immediately?
Screw him. If simple decency such as, "Don't steal advertiser's money" doesn't enter his mind, why give him the benefit of the doubt? You can't have the intelligence to create and maintain a website and not know that those money Adsense is paying you comes from advertisers. (Granted, creating and maintaining a website doesn't exactly require great smarts, but it should be enough that you know where those money you're stealing comes from...)
reapr, how'd you find my site? Enquiring minds would like to know. Interesting that my site is mentioned in a discussion about adsense at a time when I'm considering pulling the ads altogether. In all honesty, I'm not making any money out of it, beside the occasional .10c here and there. I plan to withdraw what I've made (about $30 in the past two years) and take all the ads from the site. The 'please support my sponsors' thing barely does anything unless I'm getting countless amounts of traffic and I think the message kind of blends into the background anyway.
