Get your facts straight before you post stuff like this (As if we haven't heard enough about scraper sites already). Just like the person said, ROI can be great from these sites because customers are clicking on the ads more than reading the content, and basically finding what they want.

That of course is ridiculous, because as an advertiser your goal is not to just have people click on your ad. You want people to buy your product or service. A site that forces people to click on your ad because it offers nothing of value or worth is likely to be costing you money.

I know a lot of people here make good money of this deception trail, but I can't see this lasting forever. It is not a dynamic that will be supported for the long-term from many different directions. The people searching don't want it, most of the advertisers don't want and any publisher not doing it doesn't want it.
