How likely are you to report someone?

Say you come across a site that has a violation to Google's TOS and i'm not talking a blatent violation (like having no content and 17 ad spots). I'm talkin about something the person might have over looked.

Are you more likely to just run to google and scream bloody murder? Or do you try and contact them?


Just curious.

I will do my best to advise the person instead, its worth trying to help somebody first.

 

i do nothing..............

 

i dont like to report anyone put yourself in his place do you like people to report you

 

Given a chance, I wouldn't do anything.

 

I would never ever report anyone whom is trying to make a go.
Everyone makes mistakes.
It is not in our rights to be internet cops for big corporations.
If someone is doing wrong let the big boys find out themselves.

The only time is like someone said above i contact the owner of the site if i can to warn them of TOS.
For instance i am a member and have been of

AFFILIATE LINK WARNING

Code (markup):

Trafficswarm For long time now.
I like to now and then surf it to see whats going on in the industry and what people are promoting or what style landing pages they are using or what emotional buttons etc ..if you get my drift...(plus great as part of a traffic strategy as well)
Actually it is a great learning place if you watch and observe.
Anyway i am getting off topic..what i do is often i will come accross sites with Adsense on them in the exchange..probabbly from newbies or persons whom do not know the TOS.
In these cases i try to always find the email from the site to contact the owner to warn and help them,with a quick heads up..and have recieved many thanks of appreciation as well.
As for reporting violations i let it be ..as I am not Judge or God i will stay out of it unless i accidently come across aything that harms kids etc..then i see total red

 

If they are breaking ToS on purpose, and their traffic is non-negligible I am 50% likely to report it.

 

why do i need to report ? Google knows their Job they'll found Him

 

I would do the same. Give the person the chance to do it right. People helping people.

 

I'd contact the website and ask forward them a copy of Google's ToS, if they don't correct the issue I'll report them.

 

Not likely at all. I am more likely to report the people that PM me in this forum with the latest get rich quick scheme.

 

lol

I figure I'm in the same boat with everyone else. Getting banned from Google is a real kick in the teeth (and permanent). I'd try to advise the person so Google doesn't ban them. Other than that, unless it's a clear violation and they should know better...i'm not going to do any reporting.

i do nothing in general , is not my job to report people , only scammers , only once i helped i think a polish site contacting the owner ... had ads in wrong places ( not allowed by tos )

 

Not sure what I will do.

 

I used to report in the past but nothing happened...I guess the adsense team just don't cares.

 

I am filled to the 24 hour time limit, we have each day, taking care of my own business and personal life to notice, let alone, report on what other websites are doing.

But if I had the time, I would not report a site to Google. One has to be well trained to police things, and even then mistakes occur too often.

 

I usually don't report, but I bet that there are people more willing to do so

 

Never, takes too long and has nothing to do with me. Unless they're one of my competitors [insert evil smiley face]

 

I will just sad for that person because they will get banned soon

 

Well if it was just something they overlooked I see no reason why you should report them. I probably wouldn't warn them though, unless it was a website I was a member of.
