    Yes, they do. I reported a site with hidden text/keywords and the guy got an email about it a day or two later.

    Wow - someone gave me bad rep just cause I placed this post in GOOGLE instead of Adsense -- silly me, I thought it was relevant to both adsense and adwords - ROFL Thanks to whoever left the bad rep.




    Google ads still there - but the thread was deleted.

    Yeah, I would have liked to see it too.

    Does anyone feel bad about reporting adsense violations? I've made a .txt file full of sites I found violating or asking for clicks, and I would just send it to G right away, but some of these sites seem pretty genuine. Do I just let Google take care of them, and give them a warning? Should I email the webmasters of these sites?

    Why would you feel bad? Haven't you ever advertised using adwords? You are looking for clients and end up with a bunch of idiot kids clicking on your ads and wasting your money.

    I tried adwords...terrible

    I bid up to $1/click just for my ads to even be seen by terrestial life, and then I get bam!!! 42 clicks and a single sale..w00t

    And it cost me good money. For only 2 sales. Disabling content advertising helps alot though.
