    Hi,

    Do anyone have a comprehensive and updated blacklist of all FunWebProducts sites that infests AdSense?
    For those of you who don't know what FunWebProducts is, here's a terrific blogpost (not affiliated to me) that explains what a crappy company they are:
    http://notoverthehill.com/blog/view/id_1046/title_the-sleaziest-company-on-the-web/

    They have literally registered hundreds of URLs that redirects to Smileycentral, Zwinky and other similar sites in their family.

    Not only are their marketing approach dubious to say the least, they generally pay next to nothing per click.

    Blocking their sites with the competitive ad filter is like decapitating Medusa - new ads with new URL's will just replace the ones you blocked.

    It's not the company directly that is doing it. It's from normal publishers who are using adwords. They have the url as funwebproduct but most, what I notice is CPA campaigns with adzoogle, neverblue, clickbooth etc.

    That's why they pay shit.

    yes, i had blocked some of those affiliates a few time and now it is ok i think. But if they find that your traffic is converting for them, may be they will go after you.

    My antivirus software is treating all FunWebProducts as potentially unwanted software/spyware !!

    Actually, you may be right. Still very annoying, though. Not only do they pay nothing - they sell a product that is loaded with malware.

    Here's a list I came across with some of their URLs:

    backgroundsandlayouts.net
    coolfetti.com
    cursormania.com
    enhancemyspace.com
    fixmyspace.net
    freesitetools.com
    icyprofile.com
    layoutfettis.com
    layoutsandglitter.com
    layoutspimpin.com
    marcsfreetools.com
    myfuncards.com
    mylink-space.com
    myspacecake.com
    myspacesquad.com
    myspacesupportfree.com
    popularscreensavers.com
    profilegoddess.com
    profilephetti.com
    smileycentral.com
    smileyfacesdownload.com
    smileysfree.net
    traffz.com
    tweakyourpage.com
    webfetti.com
    webfettis.com
    wowfetti.com
