What can I do to report advertising sites like these, they sell multiplayer cheats for online games and appeared on my site. I blocked them, but in my opinion they are doing illegal business as they are violating the license aggrement of punkbuster support games. www.fpscheats.com Code (markup): I already blocked them in my account ^^
What is the meaning of the last 2 posts??? What do you mean they appeared on your site, without asking???
That seems to be for reporting a site violating AdSense ToS, not an advertiser. Where do you report an illegal ad?
Ahh, the irony of this thread. It appears that we have a person here who is trying to cheat the system by padding his post count.
Click on the Ads by Google...it allows you to report either the advertising site OR the ad itself. Edited: Click on the WORDS "Ads by Google", not on the ads that are by google Edited again: I don't think those ads really violate anything do they? If they are violating TOS of a particular gaming site, possibly...report them using the method I posted above.
This is the ad I want to complain about. I don't think what that top Google link ad is legal in any country on the planet. I think Google should spend less time worrying about other people possibly making money from PR, and more time making sure their own advertisers don't promote illegal stuff.
I agree, not appropriate...Report it then. What is interesting, though, is that that is a link unit which goes to a page of ads, I didn't think text links were purchased by adwords but created based upon content?
I reported the ad a couple of days ago. Result: none. Ad is still there. Nice to know where Google's priorities stand when it comes down to things.
Sometimes takes time. If it's still there in a week, report it again, a week after that, report again, include your email, if they do not remove it, perhaps they will tell you why. Explain how inappropriate it is. I'm still curious how it's showing up on your site, though, since Link Units are based upon content of your pages and not a particular ad. What I mean is that what is showing up on your page is not an AD, it's a link TO ads.
Disregard the bolded part...this thread is almost identical to another one where the offending ads were link units, not ad units...I meshed the two in my head when I was replying.
