These crap sites pervade every subject and its getting really out of hand. Many sites use decieving methods to get people to click on the ads. People often think the ads are part of the regular navigation. I have seen alot of entire directories built around adsense with no honest content, even sites that look and feel like ecommerce sites selling large inventories of products but actually only have google ads for income.
I don't know about you, but if I were a google advertiser I wouldn't want my good name attached with this rubbish, not to mention the quality of the clicks from many of these sites must be poor. In fact, I bet alot the clicks origonate from the website owners themselves.
What do you guys think about this google adsense spam junk which is overunning the internet?

First, not so sure about the poorness of the clicks. Anyways, if we only rely on surfers to click when they are sure they'll buy, then we'll all be really poor (which we are anyways) Marketing is about building up and creating a need.
Second, when you have a adsense spam site, I dont think you'll be stupid enough to generate false clicks on it too; so point 2 is rubish
Finally, everybody seems to forget the service that publishers are giving advertisers, even with spam sites. Basically, tehse spam sites collect natural traffic from obscure or different searches that the advertiser would never have thought of. If it wasnt for that, then the advertisres would just come up with all the possible searches that might affect them and advertise on the serps only. But you see, that is impossible, and that's why a web of publishers serving ads is priceless for advertisers: it allows them to reach a marekt that would otherwise forever remain closed to them

Spend some time in the AdWords forum, and you'll begin to understand that not all advertisers want or benefit from the "service" that made-for-AdSense sites (a.k.a. spam sites) are giving them.
In any case, made-for-AdSense sites are against the Google TOS, so why bother to defend them?
Also, how much you wanna bet those google spammers are clicking away on their own ads every chance they get. There are many ways to do this so that it seems legit.
It's all just opinion - if google considers something as spam they will deal with it.

Merry christmas to all!
Have read all the posts in this thread - who decides what is spam and want isn't?
Ultimately, the advertisers and prospective advertisers do.

I love that one! LOL
You would think they would be satisfied with their own content. Is that outrageous or what?
They also have an active web crawler.
