Oh this is weak

    Check this out. I ran across this directory 'a-livedirectory dot com '
    I am not going to give them a hyperlink to get dp action here. I just think that its very weak for them to have done this. If you look at their footer it spells alivedirectory out completely.

    It really is pathetic when people do that.

    Maybe they should have trademarked the name like I did mine with a couple different agencies. At least that way there are legal ramifications should people abuse or take liberties with it.

    Not that alive directory should have had to or me for that matter. Trademarks are not exactly cheap, but the fact that people are doing this proves there is a need for it.

    I think that everyone wants to cash in on Alive's fame ;)

    just click his adsense 50 times so he gets banned for invalid clicks.

    I was thinking that too, all they do is deduct it from your adsense rev for that day dont they? something like that.

    Sometimes i can see where someone has clicked on an ad on one of my sites 6 or 8 times, and its just not counted for revenue.

    A few clicks will be looked over, but when you have loads of clicks coming through from same IP they will suspend the publisher's ads.

    anyways guys, i was just kidding, don't take my advice. There are better things to do, like contacting his hosting for example.
