In general, I agree with KF. But if you found a sex site using AdSense, please DO report it:

[google.com...]

For two reasons:
1) It muddies the AdSense reputation
2) It might be someone using another publisher's ID, trying to get them in trouble. If that's the case, it needs to be straightened out. Hopefully the AdSense team can tell the difference.

innocent mistake, i don't think so , the sites im talking about 100% against google rules.

for example one site use adwords and in same time it used adsense , when i enter that website i found nothing expect google adsense
he don't have data in his website , empty page , only adsense

I'm a "narc". I've been a narc from day one. Anything, and let me be absolutely, 100% clear on this, anything that impacts my earnings, or even has the potential to impact my earnings... yeah, I'm gonna make some noise about it. I'm talking blatant violations here. Not some micky mouse crap that the webmaster may have simply forgotten.

We're not kids in school anymore.. leave your narcing crap there...

Yep, me too. Wherever I come across violations, I report 'em.

I find it doesn't do any good to report them. I saw one site that was literally BEGGING visitors to click on the ads AND actually sent out an e-mail to his full memberlist, I know a lady that personally SPOKE with a Google rep on the phone about it...they carry on just like a wayward sun without even a bump in the road. She had proof and even other members reported. Amazing. Fact is, some people can and do get away with anything while others get spanked. Life, I guess, LOL.

I've found it does. Oh yeah. Not immediately but I've reported a number of sites that have been shut down (with regards to adsense) within several weeks of my "narcing."

Just makes me wanna narc more...

Are you sure it's not a parked page? Google does allow adult parked pages. Some parked pages are customized and look like actual websites.

And that's a good point rocker. Premium publishers, not to be confused with small time wannabes, have their own set of rules. Being big allows you that leeway, probably even encourages it.

Just to clarify my original post. The keyword there is BLATANT!
(read intentional)

And I agree to putting any kind of dent we can in all the sex sites that
are misusing Adsense. Keep on trucking!...KF

I find many Arabic website against google rules...

what he says is very true.

I was doing a search for Arabic sites a couple days ago, and a good portion of the ads were for porn sites - all in Arabic/Farsi.

So just out of curiousity, I looked for some random Sanskrit terms I could cut and paste into Google, (I can't read a word of it...), and out of about 30 ads, 4 were porn sites.

It appears that the filtering on non-euro typefaces or languages is not very good...

Why is that? I mean I'm not trying to get anything started here but really, why is that? Do you know?

Not quite sure what 'narc' means, but I suspect I am one. I make a point of reporting anything reportable anywhere it can be reported, in all spheres of life. The only exception is where I disagree with the rules in the first place on a moral basis.

Old 80's term used to represent individuals or groups assigned to schools, businesses, etc. in an effort to discover and report illegal drug activity. The term "narc" is short for "narcotics."

Either way, I don't think there is anything wrong with reporting blatant violations.

Report report report...

When you get 'em dumped it's more for the rest of us that don't violate the TOS.

Nothing seems to happen to the site?

Send the link to your friends with instructions on how to report 'em, crank up the heat.

Eventually they always go POOF! when the heat gets turned up enough.

When I see a violation, sure I send it in - I don't make the final call as to whether or not they are in violation, Google does. From what I understand, on some occasions Google lets the site owner know he's in violation and gives him the opportunity to fix it, or in the case of blatant violations, terminates his account. All I do is point it out - after that, it's up to Google.
