Today while browsing, I came across a website which was displaying 4 units of adsense and one unit of adlinks on hundreds of pages which contained only one or two lines of content. If that was not enough, it carried a red graphic saying "hottest links" over the leaderboards. Well, it did annoyed me to a degree that I clicked the feedback link to report the TOS violation. In that form there is an optional field to provide your email address. Although I posted my report anonymously, I want to know about others. Do you guys post these violations anonymously or leave your email address there in google feedback form? I thought and could not think of any serious reasons against doing that (still I could not muster the coyrage to fill it!).
However, I've given up reporting any form of TOS violations these days. Primarily because there is a site that breaks the vast majority of Adsenses TOS, and despite several emails as both publisher and advertiser the site is still there serving ads. Typical site - no content just adsense / adlinks boxes on the page, back button disabled.
If they won't deal with that level of TOS violation, I fail to see how reporting any form of violation does any good. They have simply lost the plot.
