you're 100% correct. Fraud is Fraud. Click fraud is making adwords advertisers pull ads, and reducing publisher incomes... It has to be stopped.
OK Guys make a guess...what will be the outcome of this. 1. He will recieve the cheque from Google...will get away as he has removed the codes. 2. Google will close his account and refuse payment. 3. He will return the money - Google will allow him to continue with adsense. 4. He will return the money - but still lose his account . You may add other options if you may like.
I just wondering what the company http://www.discountpartcenter.com will feel if they happen to see this thread
Don't you mean cheating makes no AdSense? Most cheaters leave by page 3 of embarasment. I believe you, but will google?
If discount part center see's this thread I am sure they would be happy since our website sell's what they do and we may have sent them some traffic and customers. The code may have hurt me but should have helped them. That is again if there were even any clicks...
That the plan succeeded or not is not the question. There was an attempt by someone (you or your partner ) to use unfair means to get clicks....and thats what Google is against.
And no I am not embarrased. Ignorant for not knowing that there was code there but not embarrased I did not know anything was wrong with the website until this thread and more then anything I am glad it was found. If Google drops me that is there right and I need to accept it. Which I will do. I just think some people on this thread are out to get other people out of hate or jealousy or whatever, others are helpful. Each person knows whio they are and can judge themselves. I know what is right and wrong and I also know that you cannot control what is out of your control..I just hope others have learned something from this post and not just me. For those that believe me thank you. For those who don't that is fine is well but for those who don't care and just want to bash someone for something to do only god will judge you.

Absolutely Using Google adsense best placement map I added adsense 2-3 times on many of my high content pages, Most of the pages are found through search so the main page is not as important. I placed the ad's strtegicly in new locations 1 on the side and one in the middle toward the top, I added these to many pages where as when my partner started setting up adsense he only had it on the main page and a few others, This is porbably the time when the code was done either by accident or intentional. The funny thing is at that time the site was only dawing about $250 per month. So I don't really believe these images added to hardly anything.
Why do you want to know "What is your website?" What you think you can do with my site anyway -------------------------- Edit: I receved a mail from with sub & content "What is your website?"
I just wanted to see it that is all..You are picking apart my website is there any reason I can't see yours and see how "perfect" it is compared to mine?
When my cat put her paws on my keyboard it look like this and it's pure accidental, unfortunately Google doesn't send me $2100 check for that
You accuse me of being such a cheater without knowing all of the facts. I am just asking for a chance to look at your website. I think you are more then anything try to stri up some dirt for no reason. maybe you are jealous because we have a PR 5 website with lot's of traffic. I don't know....Maybe you have a much better site all i am asking is let me see it...In fact let everyone here see it.. let them be the judge and commend you if it is perfect.
