I’ve written about methods of alerting contextual advertising networks to abuse before [see Abusing Yahoo!’s Contextual Advertising (YPN) — not clickfraud] and have been pleased to see some action on the front. But things are still too complicated and time consuming. Spammers continue to prosper at the expense of us all (see why everyone loses).

The following guide explains two ways of fighting back and alerting the Adsense program of abuse that you stumble across when browsing the web (skip the preamble and head right to the two methods). A typical scenario involves the following: » Read the rest of the entry..

This is old news, but I’ve been busy. Congratulations go out to the YPN team for listening to their detractors and instituting a method for the general public to comment on websites they see that contain YPN contextual ads. Before, you had to be a member of the YPN! network to report other members who abuse YPN’s Terms of Service (TOS) (read Abusing Yahoo!’s Contextual Advertising (YPN) — not clickfraud for a full account of the details).

I’m not aware of advertisers screwing over content oweners, but I sure am aware of the opposite!

Take a look at the ad above (click for full resolution). Do you see anything? The image is a screen grab of an ad from an active webpage. In order to provide the best service, it is incumbent upon YPN, Adsense, and adCenter to weed out the publishers who are stealing from us all by devaluing online marketing through various tricks (such as low contrasting colours shown in the ad above and the tower below).

This post has an inline ad. I simply used this plugin called adsense, and then added a bit of CSS to float the ads to the right. It is very simple. Follow the instructions for editing your adsense information, as written on the plugin’s website. Add the css to make it float. Here is what my plugin now looks like: » Read the rest of the entry..
