Okay, folks, listen up. I need your help. This will only take you five minutes to do.

We're pulling a big chunk of Gameranx's funding tonight. How, you may ask?

By getting their Google AdSense account banned. They are in serious violation of several AdSense policies. Google takes this very seriously; we just have to get their attention. Here's how.

1. Disable AdBlock.

2. Go here:

https://support.google.com/adsense/contact/violation_report Try here instead

3. Scroll down until a floating 728x90 ad appears pinned in the BOTTOM CENTER of the page, which doesn't go away no matter where you scroll. Ignore other ads; this is the one we're interested in.

4. In the top right corner of that floating ad, you should see a tiny blue triangle pointing to the right. This is the AdChoices arrow. If you click it, it will give you information about the ad network being used. If clicking that arrow doesn't bring you to a google.com link titled "AdSense Help", then refresh the page and repeat steps 1-4 until it does.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the resulting AdSense Help page. You should see two options for what you are reporting: the ad, or the website. Click "the website".

6. Check the following boxes:

- The site encouraged me to click on the ads.

- The site makes it difficult to distinguish ads from content.

- The site violates AdSense program policies in other ways.

(…and yes, there is another checkbox labeled "The site promotes racial intolerance, or advocacy against an individual, group, or organization", but I don't think we should go that route.)

7. Fill out the "additional information" box. IN YOUR OWN WORDS, make the following points:

- The ad appears in a floating box pinned to the bottom center of the page, and stays there no matter where you scroll. This encourages unnatural clicks, and it specifically violates the AdSense policy of "No floating box scripts allowed".

- The ad overlaps clickable content on the page. This specifically violates the AdSense policy against encouraging accidental clicks.

- The page contains a ton of foul language, such as the F word and the S word. This violates the "No excessive profanity" rule of AdSense.

8. Click "Submit", and wait for Google to confiscate the last 53 days worth of Gameranx's AdSense earnings and give it all back to the advertisers they scammed.

If enough of us do this, Gameranx WILL lose all earnings in their AdSense account within 72 hours. Google will pull their entire unpaid balance for click fraud, and give it all back to the advertisers. If Gameranx's AdSense account doesn't get outright banned, it will get "smart priced", which means they will only earn about 1/5th as much in the future for any clicks their ads get.

And no, this isn't us being petty to "get back" at an anti-GG site. Gameranx DID scam those advertisers, and the advertisers deserve a refund. See, advertisers pay Google for the premium quality of AdSense traffic; that's why Google has such strict rules for their ads. You can't just stick AdSense into some shit-tier network's floating box script on a page full of foul language and expect Google not to bitchslap you for it. I run my own sites, and I've been banned from AdSense for FAR FAR LESS than what Gameranx is doing.
