Reporting TOS violation - site has no content

MFA site using my name as keyword

[malachite]

I've just tried the "report policy violation" link in Adsense, but it doesn't seem to be working. I get an error page directing me back to Adsense homepage.

Can someone advise another way of how I go about reporting a site which not only has no content other than a link farm, but is also using my name as one of its keywords?

Searching the site brought up no results for my name, just an Adsense banner and no content. I'm obviously in there somewhere though, as I found the site while doing a periodic google for my name to find content thieves.

What really irks is the site claims to be about a big star I can't stand, and would never associate myself with! :)

I also see other sites using my name as keyword, is this a violation?

Click on the "Ads by Goooooogle" on the page the Adsense is running on, there's a link on the page you go to for submitting feedback. They won't care about your name being used but they will check the site out that the ads are running on if that's what you're complaining about - or the ads themselves if they're inappropriate.

Erku, that's not what I meant! I want to report it for displaying Adsense without any content, not for using my name! Please correct me if that is not against TOS.

I also have a strong suspicion that the star in question would not be too pleased that a site is making money out of Adsense off the back of his very famous name.

When I type my name in Google, there are 23600 pages with my name on it.

Sometimes, it's very funny to visit them, but I did not go beyond the first 200.

Thanks Tropical Island. I'll do that.

Jetteroheller, normally I'd quite agree, some of the results are very funny.

This case definitely isn't funny though. I did a bit more digging since my first post, and the site is falsely claiming I am one of its editors. No way! I certainly don't want Mr Big Hollywood Star's lawyers contacting me for allegedly being associated with this site when they find it!
