Shari Thurow. Again. I quote;
"Many AdSense sites aren't Web sites that contain legitimate, useful
content. Many are garbage. My first thought when I see AdSense on a
Web site is, "OK, where's the spam?" Just yesterday, I was viewing a
Web site with all of this supposed great travel content and discovered
the word "mesothelioma." I wasn't aware mesothelioma had anything to
do with travel. Sure enough, the site was part of an extensive link
farm (which I promptly turned in to the Google, Yahoo!, MSN Search,
and Ask spam cops)."
One wonders if she sent it with the alert; "Hey guys! This site is
making BUCKS/MOOLAGH/DOUGH for all you people!" Obviously they all ran
to stop it immediately.
Cheerleader SEO.
