    I don't think there is a huge issue with MFA sites, they are just the middlemen of the virtual world. Like it has been mentioned above the real issue is with MFA sites that steal content to make a buck. Not too long ago some stupid bloody MFA stole content off my site and then had the nerve to rank higher than me for the same bloody article as well. Now that really pissed me off!

    But generally don't have a huge issue with MFA sites unless they are ranking higher than my pages, in which case it's more a situation of jealousy rather than a feeling of them cheating the system.

    I mean to a degree all of us in these forums are probably out there to tweak and manipulate or sites, whether it be SEO or Blending ads, to try and bring in more users and revenue. MFA sites just take it to the next step.

    It's such a complicated question. For me, they probably only cloud up the web, because I do successive Google searches until I find what I was looking for.

    MFA's are pathetic, I mean those sites which are filled ONLY with ads, they are unethical, sites which have info AND ads cannot be specified as MFA's in the first place

    I don't see either as unethical, as long as we're all making money who cares? :)

    when adsense account is disabled they discard the current month pending payment only

    so you say MFA site(s) bring you 100.000 monthly :rolleyes:

    so you say that assuming DP is a kids forum ? :confused:
