AdSense: the death of Google?

Comments[1] by Dave in Blogging

Both Niall Kennedy and Joel Spolsky have written interesting posts on the Google spam-blog connection today. I really don't understand why Google hasn't done more to shut down the spammers down. They're gaming Google's system and Google's passing the cost to the advertisers. On second thought, maybe they're taking it out of my AdSense check and maybe it's time to try something else. Eventually, advertisers will catch on. As Spolsky says: "AdSense will ruin Google's reputation among advertisers, something which could be deadly."

I think Joel oversimplied clickfraud and drastically under-estimated Google's clickfraud detection. I explained why on the Besting Adwords blog.
