Another perfect way to be banned from AdSense

    Anyone here has heard of these two sites: adsensesurf.com and surf4clix.com? Certainly they are from the same people because both state that “Designed to get you traffic and clicks on your contextual ads. We are a community of like-minded webmasters dedicated to visiting each other's sites and taking the time to visit the sponsors that are on those sites. We will dramatically increase your earnings.” One even has chitika ads! How is this possible? Putting a site in one of these traffic exchanges is a definite way of being banned from adsense. What do you think?

    google should nail them for fraud or conspiracy to commit 'something or other'. once goog starts laying down the hammer in a serious way, click fraud is going to be reduced dramatically

    Report adsensesurf to google, as they are using a trademarked name in the domain name.

    Report both sites at once!
    Yes, you will according to the email I recieved, get banned if you are on those type of sites.

    I had a site like it, surfadsense!
    Google let me know right away to cease and desist!

    Hecky, since I am on google now, will just report both sites.

    They should do a lot more than just sending a C&D. this has to fall under some sort of conspiracy law - directing others to commit fraud, or something. they need to start realling hitting these networks.

    Do people think google can police every know site on the net for any violations of their adsense TOS?
    I see a bad site, or a site I think may not be correct, I just email the site to google and let them at some point look at the site.
    It is up to google to ban, disable, etc any site THEY find in violation.

    I don't intend to report these sites to Google. I am sure they already have discovered them... And the trouble is not only with AdSense. It's with all contextual ads programs.

    Seems pretty bad to me. I think google needs to join "UNDER DISGUISE" and use the system and see all the websites also attached to such a program and ban those sites too.

    Anyone --Even those who have not read the TOS-- Must know that a program like this is just WRONG.

    although they reserve the right to do that, no one has been banned because of that reason before.
