Google Adsense Abuse by Quickpwn.com against Dev-Team YellowSnow QuickPwn Jailbreak

[SlightlyXxHDxX]

How do you report someone for encouraging to click ads?

[ErikH225]

Not trying to nitpick, but this does not fall under the category of "Encouraging Clicks".

He can theoretically plaster his site with however many ad units Google allows per page, as log as the content is there.

I'm sure there are other violations on there, I just think it'd be much more productive to report them for the right thing, thus getting faster results.

Err.. actually, just checked the site and it looks like AdSense is gone, so I guess Google found SOMETHING =]

[killer261987]

They can.

[TheMobilePhones]

YAY now he has "ONLY" 7 ads ;)

5) Calling people names shows your ignorance and doesn't cause people to respect you or think well of you. Good luck in life with that attitude. I think you'll find your life full of obstacles you've created

[adriarichards]

4) The iPhone Dev Team liked this video so much they retweeted it from their main twitter account of @iphone_dev and so did @bugout. They also said in numerous tweets to not visit Quickpwn

[adriarichards]

3) You should have money before you start a site. Just like you should think before you type in comments at YouTube that don't add value to the conversation. Stealing is not a form of "paying the bills". The person who registered the Quickpwn site did it to steal traffic and make a buck with advertising

[adriarichards]

2) The dev team doesn't provide direct downloads because of bandwidth most likely. It's a smart move to torrent the files. Even big companies like VMWare and Microsoft are turning towards P2P torrents

[adriarichards]

1) Quickpwn does not host the software. They are not a mirror site. They link to the software

[adriarichards]

You're wrong on every statement you made

[RoboTekno]

more like quick pwnd!

[glassjaw624]

quickpwn is an enemy. the dev team have a lot of blood, sweat, and tears put into writing a program, and all of a sudden these douche bags come and claim it.. come on! and what pisses me off is that there are some ignorant users on the quickpwn website saying they wont use redsn0w cause they are true to quickpwn.... the dev team created quickpwn, and redsn0w.. fuck these dudes at quickpwn

[PlanetJandB]

was this made by bugout?

[adriarichards]

No, this was made by me (Adria Richards) I'm on Twitter under @adriarichards

[PuddingPuddin]

I agree but they at least thet are (kinda) putting relavent ads on the site. You just have to get used to it.

QuickPWN is not an enemy:

@planetbeing @copumpkin @izsh1911 needed iPhone 3G S' to mess around and figure out how to jailbreak it. QuickPwn donated $1400 dollars to get them it. But iPhone Dev Team refused.

QuickPWN wants to help the iPhone Dev Team. But the Team doesn't want him to.

[MortalKastor]

Wait, what ?

This guy made money from the work of the dev team, acting like it was his.

He totally milked the QuickPWN cow, and now he gives a few bucks in order to look like a good guy to fools like you.

[RileysWill]

he did this so that they would release a quickpwn 3.0

how much money do you think he makes that he is able to donate 1400 dollars without a thought.

this man is a horrible person , he is making LOADS of money off the dev team.

[NeverSeenVids]

Of course he will donate that money to Dev-Team just to make them shut up! That cybersquatter gets like 10x profit from his site by putting so much AdSense on one page. The money he tried to donate to Dev-Team is like a little drop in ocean comparing to what he gets in return. And basically it is Dev-Team's money! So he is donating Dev-Team's money to themselves! Isn't that ridiculous!?

[gennagiei]

He's making money with ads.

Do you think that a group as dev team can't put a website on with ads?

I really hope they'll do that, because that's the way quickpwn ends up his advertising spree...Every once in a while someone profits from them. (zibri, quickpwn) now it's time for them to collect i think...

[adriarichards]

Imagine if someone tried to launch a fake sourceforge website using another domain extension and ran ads. That would be just as tacky and dishonest as Quickpwn

[Dro2k7]

i swear the perpatrator will be doomed ....QuickPWN isnt his domain

[theCatter]

holy **** i love the ******* dev team i will report them, **** yeah, thanks again dev team.

[iEdster]

THANKS FOR THIS! I will report.

[adriarichards]

much appreciate! Over 270 people reported the site and Quickpwn made huge changes!

Thank you everyone for your help to the iPhone Dev Team!
