    It's funny you see these sites running for *MONTHS* continuously, but seemingly honest people that aren't breaking rules or have 2 rogue clicks get banned for life. Woot.

    This is the time when "Report a Policy Violation" on the google help pages would come in useful but, the link doesn't work. :rolleyes:

    Hence the term "seemingly" ;) -- We'll see if I get my check or not, and considering I pay for advertising campaigns to get some of my traffic.. I'll definitely be angry if google keeps the traffic and impression/click money I rightly paid for to begin with.

    Forgot about that, the word is spamreport isn't it? Did you report it fryman? If so how long do you think it will be before adsense doesn't display on that site, few days? weeks? months? never? I think around 7days.

    Edit, yes it is spamreport

    It's all about how many people report it... if only I report them, adsense couldn't care less, but if 100 people report them, then that will raise a flag

    That's why it pisses me off when some moron comes to the forum and says something like "oh, why report them? Let adsense deal with them". Every time you see a cheater like this you should always send a tos violation report, that's the only way we will get rid of these scumbags.

    It shouldn't be around 100 people they should look into it even if just one reports it. I reported it when emailing them about the broken link. It's frustrating that when you search for "please click the google ads" you get hundreds of results (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q="click+the+google+ads"&btnG=Search) and even then some sites are still running adsense even though they are on the first page of results :eek:

    Yeah, well... all you can do is report it when you see it and wish that something gets done about it... Google will catch them some day

    As long as you are doing things the right way, you have nothing to worry, that's why those guys that keep posting here because they got banned for "no reason at all" just make me laugh. Even worse when others join the crap ball and start worrying that Google might bann them also any day and start creating a ridiculous paranoia. Please, Google has technology that you don't even imagine, if you get banned, you can be certain that you did something wrong.

    I filled out my report.

    Check out this other site I have just fount, Now this is the sneakiest way I have ever seen this done so far.

    http://www.musicpromotions.biz/free/cash/

    They ask you to click on the links on the next page, and to click here to continue, and on the next page it is 3 leaderboards in a row. Then at the bottom there is tons of keyword stuffing. It seems as soon as one person gets banned, another site like this pops up. Googling for ' "Please click" +google +Ad' = 1-100 of 253,000. These arent all people commiting fraud, but the 2nd guy on the page is the person I found above.
