Anyone else get screwed by inetglobaldotcom?
Help, Google disabled my AdSense account, and I think it's because my site found itself on inetglobal(dot)com. This is a ponzi scheme that recruits people to sign up for a "consultant" account for $59, upload their sites into the system, and surf the web for 8 minutes a day.
The thing is, I DID NOT sign up for this service and I DON'T KNOW how my site got entered into the system (my GetClicky stats show a lot of incoming hits from surfdotinetdotglobaldotcom) and from countries including China, Canada, UK, Russian Federation, Iran, Ukraine.
The company was raided by the Feds recently; just Google the company name (can't post URLs in the forum right now).
What scares me is I think a competitor might have submitted my site to this scam, knowing it would generate a lot of fraudulent clicks on my AdSense and Google would shut me down. I want to tell Google this is not fair! Their rules have a loophole that allows competitors to get your site penalized. Google will not disclose the reason for shutting you down, citing their need to protect their proprietary technology. And once you're banned, you cannot be reinstated.
Everyone check your weblogs/tracking software for the inetglobal.com URL; you are at risk of getting your AdSense account deactivated!!!
