    i found this link as a referrer to my site.
    simple adsense block and it says click here to support us(the site who sent it to me) then it redirects to my site. I have to email this to google because it looks bad on me and so google knows about them

    edit:removed the link as of jackburton's comment, didn't think of that

    i thought you were a new user too jack because you changed your pic. used to seeing the girl in the dress and hair up

    About, I would get rid of the link if I were you. If you click on it and goes there (as we would if you provide a URL, as you did), it automatically re-directs you to your site. You're basically sending even more referrals to your site from this site by people clicking on the link to see what you are talking about.

    Jack is right. Also we have seen this done before to of all places DP just about a month or so ago. It is good you told Google about this. I hope it works out for you.

    also forgot to say that there is no content, just a text line above the ad box saying "sponsor us by clicking an ad" and the add, then it says it will redirect below it and 10 sec later it does.

    Very, very disturbing. This type of site can damage legitimate ones in so many ways, not the least of which is getting banned from Adsense... Hope it works out for you, dude.

    It's the same girl, just different poses. She's so lovely, it's a shame to just use one picture forever. :)

    I don't think google can do anything to me for this because they weren't using my code.
    i reported it anyway google replied saying they're looking into it
