I can sympathize with all those who have wasted money on PPC only to be defrauded.
However, Google is going way too far in eliminating things. One of my high traffic (non-gambling) sites just got canned from adsense for alleged click fraud and that’s a bunch of crap. The CT rations are super low, I havent cashed out earnings since I placed the adsense on the sight, and they don’t even have the courtesy to respond to my inquiries.
Guess it was only a matter of time before the crooks wrecked things for even legit sites like mine. Maybe one day some company will get this PPC thing right and make everyone happy.
