What is this about?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by crazycat, Mar 9, 2007.

    Found lots of sites, they have links (URLS) of other websites, including some of their text, being used to forward to totally different web pages with adsense ads.
    What is this all about? And if they are using my text to go to a poxy page with bugger all information and tons of ads can I report them to Adsense?

    The funniest was one site where they had Copyright xxxx.com at the bottom. Idiots.

    you can put free content from some sites to your own site. The catch is that when you click on the content, it take the visitor to content provider's site.

    this page http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lookup.htm, provide code for dictionary and other stuff on your site but again, the catch is that it will take the visitor to their site.

    don't worry about it, lot of spammers are doing this to earn money without moving a finger or care about adding content, you can report but what's the point ?
    don't worry about reporting focus on making something legal and better ...

    I always see this as a positive thing - I put a lot of internal links in my content so if anyone rips it off they're probably going to generate me a bit of publicity and traffic in return.

    The SEs show snippets of your site all the time and noone complains. Scrapers actually increase your backlinks, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    They are likely wasting their time, although there is some good short term money in spam sites. Adsense makes people do funny things.

    Hi all
    I think you are talking about something very important is called articles, if that's true I advice you to read about it and why people use it.
    about the copyright it means you can use it without placin the author name and the hyperlink
