    I just got this on Adsense
    -------------------------------------
    “PR8 Site Directory”

    Place your PR8 site in PR8 Directory
    pr8site.com
    -------------------------------------
    I think it’s a little stupid and deceiving campaign, what is your views?
    Well at least got my click but no conversion :D

    Hello Mr. Directoryman,

    Pray all is well. I am a 25yrs old Nigerian directory owner, I am a christian and I believe in working very hard for what I earn. I would like to comment on your post to the directory con men.

    First of all, I understand the frustrations directory people go through because of these scams. We get to experience them first-hand over here. I am deeply saddened by these occurences and pray God gives us all wisdom profitable to direct us towards more positive grounds.

    However, I do not appreciate the rude, offensive manner in which you have constructed comments. Please bear in mind that you are dealing with specific directory individuals and not an entire nation. It is wrong for you to make critical judgements about our directory process. It is also wrong for you to tarnish the image of an entire nation because of an encounter with its fraudsters. Don't you have worse cases of fraud on the internet? I am not making an excuse for these people, I just need to emphasise that there are directorymen in every nation worldwide, especially in yours... so what gives you the right to play judge, jury and executioner?

    I find your comments sexist, racist and narcist to say the least. You forget too quickly that the ONLY reason America is 50yrs (if you insist) ahead of us is because it was built by us directory owners. Nigeria's biggest problem is the fact that it's been birthed out of a corrupt system and things are definitely getting better, Thank God! Have you seen directorymen outside this country? They are an epitome of excellence; they're the best in the directory science fields, they're intelligent and business oriented, even in the schools: Directorymen earn some of the highest grades (do your homework Mr. Directoryman and his time, please do it right?).

    On this note, I bid to stop here before I resort to name calling, (a feat in which you have great expertise no doubt). Have a good day Mr. directoryman and please elevate your mind (and mouth).

    Sincerely,
    Name withheld

    Ha ha, he has a domain/site for each PR http://pr*site.com :D

    And you need to submit your site with the same pr your site has..

    Like if you have a PR5 site, then submit to http://pr5site.com :p
    Ha ha - i cannot stop laughing.

    I've seen it many times, and he keeps paying adwords even though there are no links submitted lol.

    Maybe pr3-4-5site scam would make some sense but pr8-9 :confused: yeah maybe php.net will make a reciprocal submission :D
    But he has no pr10site.com
    It's unfair to Google, they can't get any backlinks this way >:|

    Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads on their website's content pages and earn money. Because the ads are related to what your visitors are looking for on your site — or matched to the characteristics and interests of the visitors your content attracts — you'll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages.
    It's also a way for website publishers to provide Google web and site search to their visitors, and to earn money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages.

    Stupid -- don't you just love those 'straight out of the box' non-templated phpld sites -- they give so much confidence to the submitter!
