These sites are not hurting anybody.

This is the whole point of this thread -- "Made for Adsense" sites ARE hurting the program.

Why? Advertisers are staying away from the content network because they do not want their ads to show in what they perceive to be "low quality" and "spammy" sites. Just scan the threads here and at Adwords forum how many are saying "I turned off the content network option."

It is important to remember that it is the advertisers who are putting those $$$$$ in your checks. Without them, those $$$$$ will turn to $. To say that these sites are not hurting anybody is the fallacy of the century.
