Couple days ago I've started a small test ADwords campaign and today finally my AD became active
on "Content network" - US :)
Results -
10 clicks from content network.
10000 impressions (which is excellentfor branding type of Ad).
Which sites have sent those visitors?
let's say :
2 - very respectful in my niche
3 - some normal level but really not targeted sites
3 - garbage sites (just small on page sites about nothing so better suspect click fraud from this
"one page site" owner)
2 - scrapper garbage site.
If I would be a real publisher guess what I'll do in new curcumstances?
That depends on your conversions I guess?
Visitors from a crap site may be very happy they've found you, after clickking on some scaper site they found in the serps...
But belive me - it is so unpleasand to see
what <snip> who the referrer is.
Last minute - another click from garbage
<snip> (sorry for URL but it is not mine :) )
Maybe it is a good (?) site but ABSOLUTELY no relation
to my.

[edit reason] No URLs or profanity please, as per TOS [/edit]
That site looks like it's getting ads delivered related to logos and design which is on target for it's content, from the brief look I took.
Are you bidding on those sorts of words? maybe you could target your keywords / exclude more words or topics (I'm no Adwords expert - so don't know how possible that is) if those sorts of sites aren't providing you good conversions?

For what it's worth...I thought the URL mentioned looked an alright site, but didn't mention it as I assumed it'll be snipped in a while...

Ok it is not scraper - I agree.
This whole thread is just some remarks from another side of the moon.
I'll remove URL i guess.
This board not for that kind of discussions.
You are not on any higher plane than the adsense people,
Talking about garbage sites, and the likes,
What do you think you are doing, to the general public?
Pushing crappy adds on them,
You see, the circle of life,
Adwords people let the adesense geniuses do their vital work,
For you know, what I am about to say, that without them,
you wouldn't be able to sell your product
So who has the moral ground, the publisher, or the advertiser?
Gee, I don't think that's too hard to work out,
Just look at the names,
The same arguments can be said for crappy adwords advertisers,
my 2 cents
syn
You got it wrong.
I am adsense publisher. :)
Actually about that site what I stupidly
promote here (:)) - it is indeed nice one. Forgive me guys!
I was talking about percentage of
good sites from advertizers point of view.
Just sticking up for all the hard working publishers,
Of which you are one!
Take it easy, and ignore what i said,
Just have a great day, and I'll cya round
