Just because I say "Stop Snitchin", doesn't mean that I support cheaters. Yea, its wrong to encourage people to click on ads, but stop running around like a five year old telling on everyone. Life isn't fair, get over it and grow up. They will eventually get caught, worry about your own self. I just hope you snitches never go to jail
it's amazing how careless some adsense users are, when there are so many others who are dying to get an account... haha, I doubt many people will get the reference
I'll direct the question I raised in the second paragraph in the link below to you, as well, then: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=4730231&postcount=35
If everybody would take a little time to report crooks to Google, the EPC would raise for all publishers. People saying "stop snitching" are either cheating themselves and trying to promote a culture of not reporting cheaters, or are still highschool with a very juvenile mentality.
I agree with ScottsDaMan, I think google can handle it themselves, I would worry more about yourself and your own website than what other people are doing with theirs.....
News flash...what they are doing on their sites has an impact on your site. If cheating runs rampant, advertisers trust it less, don't think that doesn't affect your site. The mere fact that the site still exists is a sign that google needs help. That's also why the Ads by Google on all the ads goes to a page where you can report a violation with either the ad OR the site.
I say report them. It's kind of like the whole don't tell on the neighbor high school kids who are drinking thing. Then when one of them kills someone drunk driving on the way home. If someone had told, sure they would have gotten in trouble (banned from adwords) but in the end the life of an innocent victim (advertiser) is saved. It's not sniching, it's called being honest with your fellowman.
Why are you complainning? They're probably making only a couple dollars per day, maybe at MAX low double digits. You should complain about the people doing adsense arbitrage!
I never really liked the snitch mentality either, but if I was advertising via google and my ads were showing up on this guys site I would want him banned.
For the most part i could care less what a webmaster does on his own website. Personally i wouldn't report them, i would add the site to my site exclusion list in adwords and move on. Too many people are worried about what someone else is doing. Do i agree with a webmaster doing this? Of course not... But it's not for me to be the internet police either.
It isn't wasting time. If you run AdSense or AdWords yourself you would report it because it would benefit us all. Snitching is not bad in this sense as it would benefit millions of other people in the long run - think about it.
heh...I don't like snitchers myself but on this occasion i'll tell you that you take a look at hitzila.com. Guess what the site is about? An adsense click exchange program that has been around for more then a year, and still a lot of people are not banned from adsense! ah...who cares anywa.....
