Someone scraped a whole page off my site including my adsense ads.. to Spanish forum site...
I can't see any email contact, but is there anything I can do... and what happens if someone clicks on one of the ads... will adsense know that is it NOT my site... and how does that impact on my stats at adsense

What can I do? All suggestion welcome... thanks

The Allowed Sites section of AdSense is your friend in this case.

I would also file a DMCA with Google.

Yep, you can admin your "allowed sites" so no matter what they do you can't be blamed for it, that's good. Next: DMCA.

Just realised I have not updated my "allowed sites" and there were a few more scrappers to be found...

Thanks, for the heads-up

Yeah, allowed sites. I would not contact Google regarding anything adsense related. The way things are going with them they'll cancel your account too. It's cheaper for them than to investigate the issue, it appears.

After updating the allowed sites section, I would drop a DMCA on those scrapers, their hosts and the SEs to get rid of their content. You should do it while they still have a smoking AdSense gun buried in their scraped content.

Add all of your sites, as well as google.com, yahoo.com and bing.com, to your allowed list and don't worry about it.

p.s. adding the search engines to your allowed list might get you some earnings when someone clicks an ad while looking at your page in a search engine results frame.

Translate.googleusercontent.com and the other one webusercontent are a must to allow. My earnings skyrocketed when I added them both. I don't know how safe adding Yahoo and Bing are though. Even though yahoo is showing my ads somehow I have not allowed it. Don't know exactly where or how they are displaying my ads so I won't allow them.
