I'd like to get some feed back on this page from you and what you think of giving the surfer this type of information in order to educate a more resposible user of a web site.
Can I post a link to this web page here?
After hearing what you have to say I have to say the following:
1. My intentions were philanthropic in that I wanted to help educate the average browser/surfer in order to help prevent click fraud.
2. I agree that the subject of my web site has nothing to do with AdSense or click fraud and as such a page like that is probably inappropriate.
3. By attempting to improve the environment for advertisers I am putting my own AdSense account at risk and as such have renamed and unlinked the page discussed earlier in this thread.
I thank you for your opinions and comments and apologise to anybody that I annoyed or offended.
You say that your opinion is immaterial, but even though you think it is, what is it? (if I may ask?)
I agree with sailorjwd, this matter is best closed. I think you did the best thing in the end.

Good move because you was on a one man crusade down a one way street with no reverse gear matey ;)
I still find it hard to believe that someone from the adsense team had took the time to read what was on your page in the first place
I agree with sailorjwd, this matter is best closed.
Yes, thanks sailorjwd and everyone else. Subject closed. I capitulate. Everyone's input was much appreciated.
I just wanted to chime in one point. I know of many "weak minded" people that upon visiting a site such as yours with your AdSense click fraud education page, would start clicking the ads. These folks would include certain "punk" teenagers, people who think they are funny, people who think they are helping you (and you gave them the tools), people who don't like to be told what to (not) do, and people who may do it out of spite (i.e. maybe they are jealous). There could even be people who do so out of boredom.
If I was an advertiser, I would not want to see click fraud education pages on websites.
Once again, good decision to remove it.
This is how a good idea becomes a bad idea WF.
I think your final decision is a good one.

You can create an independent web site without AdSense ads on it to talk about Google AdSense and your idea of education stuff. There will be no risk to your AdSense account in doing so.
