    Visit our SPONSORS as much as you can. They will pay for FreeFooty's hosting!
    As an advertiser that makes me sick to the stomach. Since when do you have the right to tell me I'm going to pay for your hosting?

    Look at what he did! He got rid of the "click here to make this free" or whatever he said and put up high-paying AdSense keywords like mesothelioma and put a link to a paragraph about it that he copied from some site and slapped an AdSense ad on it. That's also not allowed by Google's TOS.

    I guess some people are simply too stupid to understand how the internet advertising industry works.

    Looks like Google kicked them out but now they're running Clicksor and BidVertiser ads and asking people to click on them. LOL They'll never learn I guess. Anyone know the abuse email for Clicksor and BidVertiser?

    Guess they have seen this thread. They are no longer encouraging their visitors to click...

    Yes they are. Read the first post on their front page.

    "You our members can help by joining in discussions on the forum, donating money to help kick free footy alive and by clicking the ads."

    "Without people clicking the adds the site will not exists because of the amount of money charged for hosting."

    "Of course this money which free footy can donate comes from ad clicking so if u don't click the ads the members will have cough up more."

    Yep,
    Still running adsense ads.

    Now it's Googles fault that the advertisers are getting ripped off as they have been reported several times.

    The email for reporting is:

    adsense-abuse@google.com

    I thought Google banned them already. He could be using another google account.

    He is using different ids, the section where he lifted paragraphs for high paying ads is disabled and shows one pub ID. The front page which is working shows a new pub id

    Hell, you could always send off e-mails to the advertisers. They can selectively block sites if they want.
