YES! thats right, they do suck, they are a bunch of cheating bastards, they cheat people via their adsense program. you think they are so nice, but then they claim you have cheated. and then you dont get payment. even though you have displayed their banners, and given their advertisers clicks.
this is the email i recieved from them:
Hello Kasper Sandberg, It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers. A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including but not limited to clicks generated by a publisher on his own web pages, clicks generated through the use of robots, automated clicking tools, or any other deceptive software. Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at: https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers. Sincerely, The Google AdSense Team
And, i am not the only one who have been cheated, i have stumbled across this: http://jackass.homelinux.org/google.html where it seems that they have been cheated aswell.
It is no help complaining, since they have been so kind as to delete ones user, so that complaints can not be processed.
Dont! do not subscribe to the google adsense program, since you will probably be cheated.
I am going to host a database of known google ip’s, which people can use to ban google from indexing their servers, and also, i am going to create a php script which you can include in top of your web pages, and if googlebot is accessing, it will submit the ip to my database, plus not allowing access, and then i will create an iptables bash script, which will download the database, and automatically block google.
i do not know when i will have this ready, but believe me i will, google has cheated me, and more, and shouldnt be allowed to get away with it. Untill that time, this is a list of ip’s i got from Bob Predaina from the Jackass Project:
64.233.160.0/19 66.246.0.0/16 66.249.0.0/16 216.2.9.32.0/19 80.81.16.106 212.27.41.35
More will follow
Now this was found doing a simple google search, where they undoubtedly filters as much as they can away. if you want on the list, mail me at redeeman [at] metanurb [dot] dk with subject “GOOGLEFRAUD”
