I don't get if they can send you that much traffic for hits, why wouldn't they use the traffic for themselves and keep 100% of adsense profit. Sounds like they will use something against Google guidelines to do it such as a bot or fradulent clicks. I wouldn't trust them either.

I believe myself to be 99.99% white hat when it comes to Adsense, and I hate it when I learn about people manipulating a system that is so helpful to businesses small and large.

Dodgy, report the blighters... Apart from the sponed bit I agree with you Assassin, although most of us can spot the spam a mile away and there is no way of stopping it (apart from filters etc) because doing so would place restrictions upon the way the web works and that is completely against the philosophy of the whole thing IMO.

So spammers are annoying, but the chaos of the web gives them as much credence as the rest of us so we just have to learn to ignore/filter them.

Sponed?

The internet has sponed into a few groups. There are people like you and I who use forums like this and communicate and form a small comunity trying to improve our sites via hard work. And then there are people who try to make a quick buck. The quick buck people are the ones that pollute search engines and bring down our search results because they practically buy their pageranks. The internet is a good place on the surface, but the fraud and so forth is discusting.

Click fraud really pisses me off :reallyreallymad:. I put a lot of money into advertising using Adwords!

Of course, Google won't send any money if they find out about this. I would forward the email to Google.
