*LOL* at the "1{random term}##.info" pseudo-regex. I see a lot of this junk
being link/comment/submission spammed in CMS's. The Web is indeed turning
into a garbage dumb of verbal drivel and scripting. I am beginning to
believe Dvorak's latest trolling attempt: "The Internet has reached it's
golden age and will soon start dying". The tiered Web (e.g. pay 'tax' for
VoIP, downloads, videos), DRM on content et cetera leave room for worries.

He probably should. I suppose that rather than AdSense exclusions* there
should be a complementary feature of so-called 'whitelisting' or inclusions,
e.g. have a rule set "domain must be suffix contain com" ^ "alexa rank or
PageRank > some_value". How about "never serve upon impression from
68.78.*.*" v "suffix = .cn"
This will give the advertisers some peace of mind...
*I have Microsoft's domains in mine because they buy "linux", for FUD.
