wattsnew,

I've never reported anybody to Google in my life. Probably because I have always felt that I am in some sort of competition not only with other publishers, but also with the engines themselves. I always felt that reporting someone to a SE was a good way to get the SE to look at you more closely -- which even if you do nothing wrong, is something that I, as an obsessive-compulsive, paranoid personalty, would like to avoid.

It does seem perfectly reasonable to me for AdWords buyers to report spammy sites to G. After all, it's their money and G has more cause to listen to their complaints.

My wishes coincide with what I believe to be G's goal in such situations: a systemized, algo-based solution to this growing problem.
