    Hey
    I just came across this site and this must be fraud, he must be make thousands with it. :eek:

    Check the forum topic, he uses an ad, and gives out false details about the topic on the right.

    This doesn't look like it is against TOS to me. Just looks like a very well placed ad. I really don't think there is anything that G could or would say about it.

    Would love to hear what others think about this one.

    Looks very unethical to me. I hate unethical people. I say report him to Google and see what they think. If his ADsense disappears in a week, then we'll know this isn't allowed. :)

    Placement of google adsense on that site.
    Violation pure and simple.
    It makes to the casual visitor that it is part of the forum and it is a forum thread, not an ad.

    Yeah, report that sucker to google at once!
