Frustrated with the same scraper splog for a while, pagerankpimp.com (many of you have noticed this in your Wordpress dashboard) - I’m happy to see they have apparently been nuked. Hopefully the efforts I’ve put forth finding others scraped by them have resulted in their AdSense account being banned; hence their removing the splog, finally. This annoyance of SEO and blogosphere copy-lifter may just need to find a job now. Can you believe the kid was 15? Well, no more AdSense on there now, kiddo!
I hope he doesn’t come back, Google is supposed to ban a PERSON, not an account. But, spammers are clever. Best way to get these guys is their wallet - Google asks for feedback on their ads people, USE IT - click the Google logo in the adsense on the blog that scraped your article and credited a fictitious author.
Oh, he will be back. Just a matter of time. Once these people have a taste for the easy buck they will work every angle possible.
How did you figure out that it was a 15 year old?
