Made-For-AdSense sites and Googles (GOOG) attempt to stop them is producing unfortunate casualties such as the the site this post links to.
I am sure everyone has stumbled upon these Made-For-AdSense sites which are filled with ads and which "scrape" or steal content from legit sites.
GOOGLE HAS CREATED A GOLEM, which has turned on them and killed some good sites and companies.
Made-For-AdSense spam sites are discouraging new web surfers, polluting search results, and costing small companies billions, penny by penny.
Google is scurrying to remedy the problem, but is has already snow-balled out of control as most web users already know.
One of the few things the every-day web surfer can do is to, DONT CLICK ANYTHING ON THESE SITES IF YOU WHEN YOU END UP THERE!
That is obviously how they make their money, which is coming from mom-and-pop sites not Google.
And, of course a large chunk of the money comes from corporations, but they need no more protection than they already get. As it stands, corporations barely pay any taxes and they still move our jobs off shore. But, this is another story entirely, which I will definitely elaborate on.

Hi,
I wrote similar post into my blog, check it out: http://tjantunen.com/2007/04/02/google-adsense-ad-filter-tweaking/
It is about setting filters to adsense
I have stumbled across these sites a few times and one of the most frustating situations was there was a site which was just made up of sections on high paying and ads, and I managed to access the site as it was ranked first on google for them term mesothilimia!!!!! A keyword that pays out $70 per click
I hear that keyword can pay out as much as 200 buck per click now.
Wow 200 is big but I hope they can make it higher.
No wonder the PPC prices on certain legal terms are soo out of control.
after reading this, i am going to take down some of my ads
I personally dont even look at these ads anymore, they are live voids on a page, lol
They seem to be making good progress though, search results are much better now than they were two years ago
Yes, while legit companies have to fight on a handful of prized spots, spam is everywhere
