I've noticed that in certain circles there is an inordinate fascination with stopping click fraud, arbitrage, and so-called "Made for AdSense" sites. The fun folks discussing clamping down on these things are often cheek by jowl on the same forums as the folks who create and profit from the MFA sites. Did I read right? There are 130 comments on some forum about this topic? You'll forgive me if I'm too busy to read even the first ten.
Gang, if you ran the type of respectable business I do :), these things wouldn't pop up on your radar nearly as often as you would think. I'll admit it... I think I went six months of reading about MFA's without knowing or caring what they were. When I found out, I realized I already knew what they were, and had gotten my ire off my chest long ago, and then went back to doing stuff.
I have to wonder why some of you have this stuff on the brain, sometimes under that guise of "clamping down" on it. Could it be that you're tipping your hand to the fact that you are actually making money from it in private, while trying to appear upstanding in public?
Basically, what I'm saying is if I find one of you in an airport restroom stall with a laptop, MFA'ing your butts off, I won't be too surprised.
