Adsense click spam sent thru wrong configured affiliate mailing list]]> Adsense click spam via compromised affiliate network

By Marketingfan.com Internet Markting Blog




I noticed a lot more spam being received on my gmail accounts, but what I found today is not a gmail problem… it’s adsense spam sent thru a previously legitimate affiliate network mailing list.

The problem is, that anyone who mails to that list name, send a mail to hundreds or thousands of affiliates of that program!

So what I received today is really the top adsense spam I ever saw…

A mail coming from some really crappy and shitty looking T-Shirt site, asking me to


click GOOGLE ADSENSE below to sign up

Not only is that website really shitty, and the pitch to click on adsense to create a signup really stupid – the affiliate network is abused for all that.

I really don’t understand why legit webmasters creating good content are being kicked from Adsense for “invalid clicks” obviously on their own site, when click spam like this or big scraper site networks that people brag about openly get away with it.

Heck probably even this click spam being sent thru a wrong configured affiliate mailing list gets away with it…

Hello dear Adsense-Click-Fraud team – did you notice? :-)
