    Where do I report it? This is going to be the first one I'll ever tell on:
    http://www.bloggertalk.com/showthread.php?p=7513#post7513
    What are the best ways to help rid the web of people like these? It seems that no matter what is being done in here, it doesn't get rid of all the new ones coming out of the woodwork everyday.

    WOW- That is BOLD!

    I usually click the link on the ad, which says ads by google- Then select the drop down to "provide feedback on the ads on this site"

    In this case you can't as the ad itself is not formatted and clicking it counts as a straight click.

    below is the adsense code loaded in the guys sig. I'd email this code along with the thread link you found to .

    I think www.footballfanatics.com is the adwords victim in this case, not the perpetrator. This is the ID adsense ID of the person getting credit for the click>> ca-pub-1116123173689816

    It also may be an attack on the footballfanatics adwords account or the owner of the Adsense ID's Adsense account. All you have to do is view someone's source who has Adsense and then you can get the ID of your stooge and stick it in the URL.

    Then again it might be a moron trying to get clicks for his site and getting paid. Hard to judge the level of sophistication on that. I mean, of all the forums to do that trick in....

    If I did it, I'd flood it in all the teen sites where no one would recognize the URL. But that's not my style.

    Never noticed that before :) (However, in this case you don't have that option)

    Hard to tell who's winning from that situation.
