It's a so called "dust attack" (de-anonymization).

So, no volunteers to get $100 worth of bitcoins?  

OK, let's raise the stakes. It's gonna be $150.

I don't really care how it's gonna be done as long as it's a more or less permanent solution.

We didn't have any issues at the time when you posted this. If you still experience the problem, please request support via email or support widget.

Most people won't read past the first message of the topic which means they will get an impression that we're indeed "bad" people. As I said earlier I'd be totally glad if the said topic got edited and, instead of saying what it's now saying, it would ask the same question, like "Is A-ads s..m?" That would be more than enough but I cannot get even that from the owners of this forum.

Nope, I was thinking about making a donation to this forum. Also "bribing" means something illegal or bad, while our intent is to remove a false topic from Google's search results.


Featuring false topics which slander someone's reputation is certainly not against any rules in the universe, right. And defamation suits are a figment of my imagination, right.

Also, let's imagine you've been dox'ed and someone created a website with a very good Google standing where he or she says very bad things (none of which are true) about you. Would you be glad if this website existed?

I really really don't understand what you're all on. It surely looks like you take pride in the s**t that's going on here.

Google still features the bad topic as the second result for the "a-ads" search query.

If anyone here is eager to permanently solve this issue by any means possible, we are ready to pay this person up to USD $100 in Bitcoins.

I guess the moderators/owners of this forum are too rich to care.

FaucetSystem was easier to integrate with that's why we chose them. I'll pass your suggestion to our developers.

Google sometimes just sucks.

They hid the topic for three days and now it's back to number one (among other more active bitcointalk topics).

Again, that depends on too many variables it's just impossible to predict in advance ;-)

The situation has improved. Hopefully Google will further lower the standing of the "bad" topic.

We cannot say how and why it happened, but your earnings have been growing for the past two days. Let's see what the picture will be in the next few days.

The way our ad network operates you get a share of impressions which is related to your share of our daily budget. Clicks are not guaranteed because they depend on your ad (is it attractive, properly designed, etc.)

Let's say today we have 1 btc budget and your have set your budget to 0.1. That means you'll get roughly 10% of our impressions.

As for the number of clicks we receive daily, please check out stats: https://a-ads.com/stats

Google doesn't have this option unfortunately.

We assign a certain rating to our publishers' websites ranging from 0 to 1. 0 is the lowest quality, 1 is the highest quality. Since 1 is near perfect by our definition, you should avoid targeting websites at this range. If you want to get high quality traffic/impressions your safe bet will be above 0.5. Mind that less than 20% of our ad units satisfy this criteria, which means that this quality range may increase the price of the traffic significantly.

Could anything confirm that McAffee no longer considers a-ads.com website "bad"?


Yeah, their ranking system nowadays is really hard to understand.

We'll contact McAfee to resolve this issue.

Meanwhile VirusTotal indicates we're 100% clean.

People often make their decisions based on Google results. If by free speech you mean "vilifying in order to destroy one's business" then I'm simply astounded. I'm all for free speech if it's civil, polite and respectful. That's not the case though.

99% of people won't read past the original message to find out that this topic is falsehood.

Lovely. Still I'm perplexed as to why this topic cannot be hidden/deleted as I'm perfectly sure SMF can do that.

I'm asking this for the sole reason of recovering our name/image. I've no idea why Google algos believe this three years old topic deserves a top spot.

Edit: if you're aware of any means of contacting Google for this URL removal, I'd be glad to know. I've found nothing so far.
