    Hello,
    Aeiogy what ever is your name.
    I dont click on my own ads, and for your information ads appearing on digitalseo/dir are no way targetted. I get less than $ or some times a $ from that site.

    I never relaised that this thread was based on one of my site,.
    For all those people who think the ads are targetted check if there is any hidden text? check the title? check the met codes? check the alt tags? the ads are choosen by google adsense bot, based on the site content, if there is a site in the data base of a specific keyword and bot chooses to show ads on that keyword? Im I to blame for it?

    Hello? I dont click on my own ads and I never ask any one to!
    Please remember Im a honest publisher of adsense since 16months, Im really disheartend by this thread and the reaction people have given.

    Without any proof without and investigation on the matter one person posts somthing and other's start reacting on it based on their mood!

    I would like to re-iterate I dont click nor i ask others to click on ads and there is no fradulent or hiddent text or hidden keywords are used, I have total of 17 sites with total of 50-60k hits daily all my sites are clean and have good contents, none of my sites have those bad keywords I dnt know about mesotha what ever the site is added to db by my friend I will now remove those sites, which are cuasing this thread! a HOT discission!

    No one said you were clicking on your ads, the point is that everything shows that you are cloaking and cheating the bots so you can get ads that are supposed to be high paying ones.

    So, are you cloaking?

    Fryman, click this link: http://www.digitalseo.info/dir/

    Don't you see the three lines of meso stuff right in the body of the page?

    That wasn't there before...

    Imran just added that after seeing this thread. Several of the people who originally looked at it can attest to that.

    I did check your code when I first posed the question. There was NOTHING in your source code that had anything that would trigger those ads.



    I asked a question why you had ads targetted to high paying key words with nothing on your site discussing it. Someone mentioned how it was possible and what was going on.

    Funny that today you now have content on the page that discusses meso, that was not there yesterday.


    If a friend did this, I would not count them as a friend..what was going on was a clear violation of the TOS. If the ads on the site are on your adsense account, your are responsible for them.

    When I started this thread, I didn't know who owned the site, nor did I know they were someone who posted here. I just asked a question because I came across the directory and did not know why those ads were displaying even though I looked over it very carefully.

    I suggest you stop letting your friend involve themselves in your web business or it is going to only cause you trouble.

    aeiouy, go ahead and appologize. I just pasted Google's cache of the page.. and the meso listing is in it. Here it is again:

    I have no idea of why the cache is showing this, maybe it cached recent data and its showing an old date, I don't know, all I know is that I was challenged when I saw this thread and took a deep look at the page and at the source code and couldn't find anything related to those ads, until someone said that they were cloaking

    What page do you think they would show to the google search engine? Several people looked at it yesterday the text was not there.

    Perhaps you need to learn what cloaking is SPDude before you tell me to apologize because the cloak text shows up in google's cache.

    What happened IMO is the page always had the meso listing on it.. it was there on the 24th of August. Just today when the thread starter came accross the page, according to you guys this listing was not there... It was removed for whatever reason... The mediabot was still serving ads based on the previous content. Nothing foul in this, if you ask me.

    I dunno, but accusing someone of fraud and illigal activity (breaking TOS) without even checking the cache of the page was wrong.

    that cached page looks awfully ligit, if you ask me. If they were clocking wouldn't they just stuff the page with garbage meso terms.. instead of serving a very ligit neat looking page??

    Looking at a page after setting it to Mediaparters-Google, does this show you a current version of the page as is being seen by mediapartners in real time?, or could it be based on a previous crawl that the Mediapartners bot made on the 24th?

    They could I guess, but this doesn't seem like a very sophisticated attempt.. It just seemed like someone trying to be deceptive to steal some extra coin. You can also add tags to your pages to prevent them from being cached, but I would always consider that highly suspicious.
