  • GoogleisAjoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well lets just wait a sec.. in this situation..

    I can tell you first hand I have been accused by google for this as well... I placed AdSense on one of my sites a few days back.. I have not returned to the site since I have placed this on my site.
    Then I get a email from google telling me that I have done click fraud??? and clicked on my own adds.. Something that is false... The funny part is when I went to my adsense account I had no clicks WHAT SO EVER as it had only been up for a few days and the site is not even listed in GOOGLE as of yet.. Sooooo tell me how I did click fraud???

    Bottom line... Google is getting its a** kicked in add sense and is putting up false claims about people... Oh and lets not forget!!! I also told google to NOT put sites up that are close or selling the same product as me.... And what do you know.... Hmmmm I went to one of those sites and found the same things I was selling..

    Google ad sense is a joke.. More power to that lady for taking them to court.. Google needs to be put on a leash.

    I am sorry to say that all you google supporters are being taken to the bank.. Just like the ad words program.. I find it funny that you set a limit on what you want to spend! but google as no problem what so ever pushing that limit way over the cap amount you have set...
