    As did a few here I got rid of all MFA sites with the supposed
    Google crackdown, but I checked an old MFA I had saved in my favs.
    this guys' still up and running and excellent traffic. maybe it was all a
    false alarm by Google for the purpose of press releases etc.
    hummn I might get back into the game :rolleyes:

    They can't shut them all down. They put out scares and hope to shut them down but the MFA site owner adjust enough to stay under the radar.

    I wish they could shut them all down and open the field to better quality sites.

    MFAs are still growing, I still stumble upon some of them while searching, but atleast Google is not ignoring the problem.

    There's a special email address you can use for adsense policy violations.

    http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=18386

    You can also send feedback by clicking on the "Ads by Google" link, but in my very limited experience this doesn't seem to work as well. I suspect this type of feedback goes to the AdWords team, and may need to be forwarded to another department before anything can happen. That's just a hunch.

    click on "Ads by Google"
    Usually on the bottom there is a feedback link about the site or the ads.
    You can report TOS violations

    This is exactly what I was thinking about. I still come across many MFA sites and I thought google took adsense away from them a month ago. I hate those sites and I can see the problem far from being over and people still sell MFA sites and autimatic content generating softwares all over this and other formums.

    OK, But what do we report?
    I mean this is an MFA site alright.
    It has no content.
    It was made with the sole purpose of getting money from Adsense.

    But what have the site done to break google TOS?
    :)

    I usually click on "Other" and report it's MFA site.
    Anyway, most of those MFA are keyword stuffed, so they violate the content guidelines.

    I have a question: why you are reporting MFA sites? Is google paying you for this? Plenty of people from DP have MFA sites, I guess some of you has too ;)

    I really don't care if someone here at DP have MFA sites.
    I think they are useless, and and a waste of bandwidth.
    Moreover, they also pollute the market and damaging advertisers and honest publishers.
    I'll keep reporting MFA when I land on one.

    Ads with no content is against TOS, there's your "breakage" right there.
