Let me tell you a story about karma and how I made $250 by reporting an Adsense cheater!
It started when I came upon a web site where some kid was blatantly breaking the rules by asking his buddies to click on his Adsense ads.
This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves! Why do people think they can break the rules at the expense of other peoples’ AdWords budgets?
So I did what a lot of people do… I contacted Google!
Every time I went back to this kid’s web site the message asking his friends to click the ads were still there! This went on for a few weeks and I really started to get ticked off at the lack of response on Google’s part.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I used this software I created called “Google Sponsor Lister” (You can get it at AdsenseSchool.com) to find every sponsor who was targeting this kid’s niche.
I contacted each sponsor directly and told them there was a chance their ads were being displayed on a cheater’s site. I figured if THEY complained to Google, something would happen!
Well I guess I was right! One of the sponsors emailed me back two days later and said:
“I want to thank you for pointing out the kids clicking on my ads. I turned it over to my Google rep, and he called today to let me know Google is disabling their account. Also, he said Google is crediting me a decent amount for fraudulent clicks over the last quarter. What’s your address? I’d like to send you a little thank you gift.”
How awesome is that? I was so excited! Not because he was going to send me a “thank you gift”… but because I figured out how to get that punk’s shut down!
It’s funny how Google shut this kid down in TWO DAYS because a sponsor contacted them but when I had been trying for weeks, nothing happened. Makes you think…
Anyway… I told him he didn’t have to thank me and he definitely didn’t need to send me a gift. I was just happy to know I saved him a couple bucks and this punk got his account canceled.
He replied with the following…
“Thanks again. I actually spend several hundred thousand dollars a month on Google, so at least they responded to me quickly. Also, the rebate they gave me was fairly substantial (several thousand). I’d really like to buy you an Amazon gift certificate or an iPod or something if you’d like to tell me how to send it to you, because I don’t think I would have been proactive about this if you hadn’t contacted me. Either way, it’s great that you’re being a good samaritan.”
SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS? I thought I saved him a couple bucks at most!
I was floored when I read that because I knew Adsense cheaters hurt sponsors but I never thought it was that bad!
So I told him if he REALLY wanted to send me an iPod or an Amazon gift certificate, I wouldn’t stop him! 
He ended up sending me an Amazon.com gift certificate worth $250!
Long story short… I am now a true believer in Karma! 
I think this teaches us a couple important lessons…
First, telling Google about Adsense cheaters is fruitless… but informing the sponsors, and asking them to contact Google, works immediately!
And second, ripping off AdWords sponsors is big business. Don’t think for a second it’s a victimless crime!
Oh and now I’m a true believer in Karma!
Maybe you won’t make $250… but at the very least you’ll help get rid of another Adsense thief and save a business owner some money

its horrible….get it out of your houes n home…it stanks!
oh my….you';ll get brain damage if you partake in that….
It is not true you cannot pick a channel. You can create a channel and name it UNDER POST or something to this effect
However, you cannot automatically (or use the wizard) to do it. The wizard does not offer channels for it. You have to go in and open the code of your template, then find where Adsense under posts are placed and replace it with the code that has the channel
I'd say in the area of $25-$50/month.
WOW this is great!
Thanks for this. Very useful. A bit fast for newbies though
But much appreciated.

I suggest you also consider joining an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.
Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com
Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com
You can also join Affiliate Programs where you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)
Commission Junction http://www.cj.com

When using Google Adsense with YouTube, you post the code Google provides to a separate web page… You won't be able to post the Adsense code onto your YouTube profile/channel… you would need to become a YouTube partner to get the ads show up in your videos…
The attorney is going to want to see the 1099-Misc forms. when you get them, you'll see if the corporate name is at all "revealing."
You have to set up channels. They allow domain channels, easy peasy for what you want. But also named channels, so you can put perhaps different domains under one "site" if they happen to go together for alternative stats. Also named channels are needed if two sites are under one domain/sub-directory (but not sub-domain). Then you can further break down sections or each ad in each site.
But what you also have to do is get new code and put it into your sites replacing all old code after you've set up your channels – remembering to attach the proper channels to each ad as you configure.
great info here – thanks
