    It's called Adsense Arbitrage - One of the most instant and straightforward way to make money online. Google says they don't like them too much, but it's one big double standard - Google makes most of their revenue from these sites.

    There is content provided, on the pages that display adsense, albeit not quality. Unfortunately I don't see where there would be need for a ban, other than there is not a space between the large rectangles....maybe?

    Came across these a few times. Always wondered whether they really made any money. I guess they do, or they wouldn't stay alive

    I don't think sites like this do very well in the SERPs and if htey do, they don't last very long. Why would it possibly be a moral issue? Unless the ads are irrelevant to the front page link you click on...what's the problem?

    I think there are just some adsense earnings deprived individuals that are upset about things that should not concern them. Do you honestly think this site would show up in an SERP for very long to affect your 'family' SNAP3, lol.

    I don't think there is anything against the TOS, which doesn't mean that such crap shouldn't be banned from AdSense.

    But on the other hand, I don't think such a site rank well in SERPs so it doesn't really compete with legitimate sites; I never end up on the such site when I do a search in Google.

    Thats why they have such weird domain names. They don't want to rank well in serps because they are driving traffic to these sites with the help of PPC. These sites may not rank well in serps but they are definitely hurting us, the publishers.
