Google Ads Promoting Scraping Site
Marina and moderators,
I was reading a hub that was categorized under affiliate marketing and was very disturbed to see the Google ads at the bottom promoting a scraping site, as shown here:
The hub itself was legitimate and had nothing to do with scraping from other pages or sites. Is this particular ad something that should be reported to Google? Heaven knows we deal with enough content stealing around here!
[I am using Chrome. I didn't want to post the link of the hub here since it wasn't the problem; the ad was the problem. If you need me to email you the link, please tell me to whom I should direct the email. Thanks!]
