I was surfing the 'net as usual when I came upon the perfect example of what not to do when using Google Adsense.
Remember...content is king!
I guess that would make this site worse off than the Joker!

If your site looks like this I HIGHLY recommend you change it before you lose your Adsense account.

My goodness... "Results from other sites on the Internet" with Google ads right underneath.
"Creating the future of search. Find it now!"
I must say, it's an interesting idea. You type in a keyword and dynamically makes a page which may or may not have an RSS feed (without the hyperlinks) to propogate the page so Adsense Ads may or may not work contextually.
Of course a complete violation of Adsense policies.
Methinks TheCoach has already sent off a complaint to Adsense :)
Methinks TheCoach should change his name to ThePunisher :D

No arguments coming from me.
Even without knowing that you got burned as an Adwords Advertiser. DAMN!

Now that's what I call an "internet spam site" if I've ever seen one. Nothing pisses me off more when I run a cross a site like that when I'm looking for information. It's wastes money and time. I can't believe the site turns much of a profit as I think most would quickly hit the back button!

Best of luck getting digg4it deactivated. I came across that site 5 weeks ago and have reported it two or three times.
Google rarely cares anymore. They ban for blatant click fraud and not much else.

It's still up and running. If you just saw a blank page just picture Adsense Ad Blocks in the middle.
That's pretty much what it looks like. :D

The site seems to be down now. That will probably have nothing to do with Google but it's a start. ;)
Site still up, Adsense and all.

The site owner knows their spam site is violating AdSense's terms and conditions.
Seeing this thread isn't likely to give them a change of heart, particularly after all the work they've done setting up an automated scraper site and then 1000's of AdWord keywords to drive traffic.

Hi,
because i am going to get this site shut down 1 way or another + why should this forum drive traffic to their site

The traffic it receives from here is hardly the kind of click-happy people they're looking for.
Best of luck getting it shut down ... it's about 6 weeks now since I started reporting it. Maybe you could work on http://goobot.com/ too - Google are either being apathetic or pathetic about that one as well.
