I already did something similar by contacting their advertisers like WidgetBucks. Most of them don't have AdSense (probably got suspended already), but if they did, I'd be sure to contact them first. I'm also going to post their publisher id somewhere, sort of like those sites that post IP and email addresses of spammers. Laurence, I considered doing the same thing.

Hey why don't you put the address of these blogs up? Maybe if a whole lot of people report them to Google for adsense misuse then they will be removed. …uld have better systems in place for reporting and removing splogs and scrapers.

Haha, yea some of these may work on the 12 year old manual scrapers... but I wish there was some way to block the automatic ones, or even get the websites excluded from Google completely etc etc. For such a huge problem you would think Google wo Thanks Kyle!

Not sure if it would help or not, but making the major search engines aware of the offenders might be an idea as well. I've also seen a high profile site write a post about an offender who stole their custom theme, and pawned it off as his own. With all the attention directed at him from this popular site and it's dedicated readership, the offender <strong>very promptly</strong> removed the stolen property and posted a public apology. I'm sure he learned a valuable lesson as well. Excellent pointers Kyle, for after the fact action.
