I once used their very strict account disabling policy to get a competitor kicked from Google AdSense. It was not even that difficult. I just spent a couple of minutes every day visiting his website, clicking all the adsense links, closing all the openend tabs, reloading the page and so on. It took a few weeks, but then the ads just stopped showing up (despite the Javascript code still being loaded) and a few days later the webmaster removed the code, which I assume meant that he god kicked.


Interesting how you posted something that amounts to "I'm an asshole", just because it was relevant to the discussion.


Something that also could be construed as fraud, if not criminal then civil.


One of the new memes is that sociopaths are good at business.


But it is relevant and needs to be addressed.


Remind me to never compete with you.


Ugh. That's nasty :( If that works, how come Google doesn't know that?
