    Puppy Profits.com (Site Profitting From Dog Fighting)

    I came across this site puppyprofits.com on another board recently.  I couldn't believe it at first... but then I suddenly realized what this guy was doing. 

    It appears to me that his intention is to be controversial.  He knows that he's going to upset people with his lame sense of humor.  I highly doubt he is seriously selling anything.  Why did he create this site?  So people like me will find it, become shocked, and then pass it around to others.  Easy traffic to his site.

    The google adsense ads are making him some good money.  Each time somebody clicks on those ads he makes money. I bet this site has been passed around quite a bit due the controversial nature. 

     I'm posting this here, in case any of you want to report it.  YOu can report it here:  Report A Site. I doubt google will do anything unless enough people report it. This will not affect the site from being taken down.  It will prevent him from making further money from google adsense if enough of us do complain.

    Yea, I'm sure it's fake, one of his 'testimonials' is M. Vick (3 guess for what the M stands for, anyone?).  So I don't know if it was designed to make money off the ads (probably) or he just has a really warped sense of humor, or maybe both.  Either way its disturbing, esp. when I think that there are some people out there that really would want to buy something like that.  If there is not real product, would this be false advertising?  Is he doing anything illegal that can get the site taken down?

    So I don't know if it was designed to make money off the ads (probably) or he just has a really warped sense of humor, or maybe both.  Either way its disturbing, esp. when I think that there are some people out there that really would want to buy something like that.  If there is not real product, would this be false advertising?  Is he doing anything illegal that can get the site taken down?

    It IS both.  Warped sense of humor, and also designed to make money. I believe that gambling goes against the TOS of google adsense.  If you take a look at that link I provided, it says it there.  See, I bet no one will report him.  If I can just get a couple of you to do that.. I think google would look into it.  I already reported it.  I just basically said "the guy is promoting the illegal sport of dog fighting."

     But technically, no, the site isn't really illegal.  But you can at least stop him from making money off it.

    By posting a link to his site, YOU are creating more traffic to this site.  Ads pay based upon a number of hits to a specific site.

    Oh, get off it!  This is an ADVOCACY forum. 

    YOU are INCORRECT.  You only get paid when the surfer clicks through.  You do not make any money if a surfer simply visits your site.

    Where else am I going to post this to get people to report this site if I can't do it in a dog advocacy forum?

    Thanks.

    See, now I saw the website in a totally different way.

    He is showing how ridiculous the whole cult of dogfighting is through black humor. He isn't promoting it. I don't quite see the wrongness of it.

    For example , there are sites that are anti-Iraq-war, making jokes like "Oh, who cares about bombing civilians, right? Reduce the world population! Get oil!" - they aren't serious, they are showing how illogical and ridiculous the situation is. (not to start another war debate, just trying to give another example) I *did* laugh at some thing on that site.  Because it's so true what IDIOTS dogfighters are, and the site just shows it off.

    I think it's just a joke... Call me lame if you like, but I think the testimonials were quite funny.

     I think people in general need to lighten up a bit.

    I thought it was funny too, the site was obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I wish people would stop looking for reasons to be offended by everything.

    Looks like the guy was banned from Adsense.  The Adsense code has now disappeared not only from puppyprofits.com, but also the rest of his adsense sites. I highly doubt it was because two of us in this thread reported him.  There must have been other people elsewhere who reported him as well.  I don't compare this to America being easily offended these days.  This guy is a real jerk.  If you saw the comments that I see him post, you might agree.  He has stated on the forum where I found this link that he "does not care for animals."

    Probably quite a few, because the vast majority if America is silly and probably took him seriously.

    He has stated on the forum where I found this link that he "does not care for animals."

     What a horrible personConfused If he isn't an animal lover, so what? The site is still a joke. I would wager than any "offensive" posts he makes on any forums are simply meant to get a rise out of people. Immature? Yes, immature. But he's not some kind of puppy-killing devil.

    Yea, I think it is a joke, but if you think it is real, I wouldn't bother reporting his website, report him to the IRS.  No such thing as "$1200 a month tax free".

     I do feel bad now for reporting him. The thing is, I'm fully aware of the sad state this country is in right now with our overreactions.  The Don Imus thing, and now the Dog The Bounty Hunter controversies are really silly.  I think this was more of a personal matter.  I was a bit selfish.  And I'm sorry for that.  But I know he could not have been banned just becuase of this here.  There's no possible way.

    ShelterDogs - your heart was in the right place and that what is most important YesSmile Seriously...I think everyone is a little touchy what with the whole Vick deal going down so recently and so publicly, so don't feel bad. The guy IS kind of a dumb-***, like I said, heh.
