- dpierce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4What if you, by blocking ads, miss an ad that was relevant to what you were looking for that could have saved you time and money?
/AdSense Publisher - Rice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've compensated for blocking all ads in my browsers by buying a Google t-shirt.
Sure, it screws up a lot of other people. And yes, it really doesn't compensate. But, I wouldn't click them if they were there, anyway. - joaob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@UMDWei
Case in Point: check out the ads that Digg is serving up right now courtesy of AdSense...now tell me that Google gives a *****. - benbread, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The using images next to ads one is much needed i think - except when i want to use it - it's really pretty sneaky how some designers can disguise google ads, i know i've fallen for this one a couple of times.
- rovo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Google is no longer the "non-evil" company they purported to be. I use to have a google adsense account. Then one day they sent me an email telling me it was closed. No explanation beyond, "Invalid clicks". Where or who created these invalid clicks, I have no idea. When I inquired for more details, they put up a wall with the attitude of, were-a-super-mega-corporation-and-there's-nothing-you-can-do-about-it. So gone was the $100 dollars I had finally earned after a couple of months. From my experience, Google is a very cold company. I used to think they were the lesser of two evils, but I realize now I was duped.
- unicornhunter, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5What about all the millions of crappy auto-generated sites? Those are ok b/c they bring in millions.
- bks1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just want to know how much money people with student essay sites were earning for google to make a policy banning them?
- Bisqwit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Last time (and the first time) I tried to participate in Google Adsense as a publisher, they cut me off just a week later because of "invalid clicks detected", i.e. click fraud.
I tried to ask them numerous times what kind of invalid clicks they supposedly detected (because to the best of my knowledge, I never clicked on the ads), but I never received an answer other than "we have reconfirmed that invalid clicks were detected". Months later, I tried to reapply but they promptly rejected every one of my attempts, without explaining a reason.
In the light of this "shoot first, don't ask later" policy of theirs, I find it strange to find people complaining that Google is not doing anything to stop click fraud. - fatdog789, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Google wouldn't do anything to hurt its cash cow. Without those sites, Google would be far, far in the red.

you are so in the dark. - 13tongimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Same thing pretty much happened to me. I was given an email address to send an appeal to, but got nothing but automated replies. I never even remotely tried anything shady and never would because I'd never stoop to click fraud. They never even tried to sort things out and just left me high and dry. When you deal with a huge corporation, they just don't care about individual service because they are all about volume. It sucks that they treat people in such a manner because I used to have a great deal of respect for them.
- UMDWei, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Google makes money b/c their advertisers make money. The advertisers would not be pouring money towards Google if every site in their network are junk sites that don't convert. If anything, the disappearance of junk sites would bring the advertiers better results, hence more money for Google.
