"Just Say NO!!!" to Designing Spammy Scraper Sites Specifically for Adsense

If you cannot publish original, useful content, don't use Google Adsense as you devalue the earnings potential of the advertising program for the Advertisers, Publishers and Google itself. You also are diminishing the Google brand. Additionally, you end up cluttering up many search engines (not Google) with fluff. provoking the disgust and ire of web surfers worldwide. All the time and effort you expend creating multiple scraper sites (they have such poor click-through rates that you need to create many just to generate meager revenue) can be much more productively spent creating ONE GOOD web site containing authoritive content with facts and/or commentary useful for everyone to reference.

IMPORTANT GOOGLE ADSENSE/ADWORDS MILESTONES:

May 22, 2005 - Sneak peek at a new Google Adwords feature: Site-Targeted AdWords Campaigns Advertisers will be able to choose site-targeted AdWords campaigns as an alternative, or in addition, to keyword-targeted campaigns. The site targeting option is designed to meet the needs of advertisers who want to place their ads on specific sites in the Google content network. Site-targeted ads run only on sites the advertisers select, based on their judgment of the sites' relevance, reach and appropriateness. These ads do not appear on search result pages.
Adwords Advertisers on WebmasterWorld.com praise the merits of Site-Targeted Google AdWords Campaigns for helping to put an end to scraper sites by cutting off the purse-strings so web publishers can't monetize content poor web sites.

May 5, 2005: New Google "Campaign Negative Sites" allows for ADWORDS Advertisers to ban their advertisements from web sites which they deem to be unsuitable for their Google Ad Campaigns. Overwhelmingly ADWORDS Advertisers are choosing to EXCLUDE SCRAPER WEB SITES from displaying advertisements and draining their online advertising budgets on for payment on poor converting and/or tasteless web sites - see Webmasterworld.com's thread concerning this issue: Campaign Negative Sites. This could very well spell the END TO SPAMMY SCRAPER SITES as it removes the financial incentive for creating these useless "portals." The online community should be thankful for Google's pro-active policies to help make online adverstising more useful to web surfers by promoting "truth in advertsement" and curtailing "predatory advertisors & content publisers." GOOD WORK GOOGLE... THANK YOU!!!

That is THE KEY to successful Google Adsense marketing, and online marketing in general. Creating a web resource that people will want to continuously reference for the quality of information published... NOT snaring surfers that unfortunately clicked into the maze of deception you created with Keywords & Key Phrases scraped from search results, and hoping that they click on a Google Adsense ad to escape the useless collection of "Popular Links" that you compiled. Or worse yet, that the script automatically generated from search keyword data bases to spawn countless pages of HTML code, which viewers would surely send a complaint email about except you provide no contact and use hidden domain registration.

And for the quick-buck artist that thinks it is easier to scrape search result highlights to generate "content" for pseudo made-for-adsense directories, it really is not worth the effort in the sort term. Do some research on the matter on the web and you will learn that many people are flat out against such tactics - including the adertisers themselves - and they are the ones were the money to pay you comes from. If they don't like your work, in the end you will get paid little or nothing for your pathetic creation.

"How's that," you may ask. Google's smart pricing system will eventually adjust the amount of money it pays for a click from your scraper site, and penalize it for having negligible sales conversion rate for the advertisers. So even though you chose to create a web site specifically for adsense with high paying keywords in mind, you will eventually earn pennies for the same terms that legitimate web publishers are making dollars for, and will be remorseful that you wasted so much time for such a small return on all your time & effort that you invested in generating your useless fluff content.

Furthermore, it is a violation of Google's own TOS that publishers cannot make "Made for Adsense" web sites. You may through deviousness get away with breaching your contractual obligation for participating in the Google Adsense program for awhile, you will certainly be banned once discovered. Then you just eliminated the best chance for making a decent living from Internet publishing. It just makes more sense (and CENTS) to put all your effort toward designing a quality web site.

Additionally, because you violated the terms of a legal contract, you open yourself up to being sued by Google, and/or the advertisers themselves. So not only will you make very little income initially, you may end up giving it al back AND MORE in the end, as companies increasing begin to aggressively protect the integrity of their business models... AND THEIR PROFITS!!!
