    I noticed a site with hardly any content/ worth less content..., To be realistic.. It so appears that the content is supported by those ads, and not vice versa... :p "Ads based content"

    The website has,
    2 Google Adsense blocks (4 within one)
    1 Google Adlink Block
    1 Mozilla Ref.
    3 Yahoo ads blocks (4 within one)
    1 chithika Ad

    The website I am taking abt is Peggs List .. See a sample page here : http://www.peggslist.com/search.php?q=computing&btnG=Search

    Yes, its a BIG violation to TOS .. What can be much worse than getting both ypn n G's adsense getting banned!

    Quick, someone take a screen shot of it for future educational purposes before it gets taken down. That way, every time someone comes on board with an "Help! Adsense Banned Me!" as their first post, we can send them the link to the image .... maybe we can call it "you-are-an-idiot-for-not-reading-tos.bmp"

    1&1 is a domain registrar. Odds are they don't own it, just showing whois by proxy.

    See the 'proxy' in the email address? ;)

    The sad part is that he/she is probuably getting better ads displayed than we are. So thats what they call a link farm right? Or a link city!
