We should make a fun list. A gray/black-hat publisher list. And then we should see how many have ad units linking to legit publishers.
-
I'll start us off! (Special note: I will try to avoid making these links, if I mistakenly do so, DO NOT CLICK ON THEM).
-
Black/Gray Hat Publishers: diply . com thelisticles . net linkbeef . com buzzit . club imgism . com 98pix . com theboredmind . com ...
-
Black/Grat Hat Publishers: cars-space . com vowgag . com gaghut . com fullfunn . com viralgsp . com buzzmad . com note . taable . com ...
-
Here's a blackhat publisher, not even bothering to try removing the watermarks from what appear to be stolen Verge articles: ngabota . com
-
Black/Gray Hat Publishers: a . brobbro . com (a site which used to be at fun . broviral . com, but mysteriously disappeared ) funkypie . com
-
To be clear, it is hard to prove someone is a blackhat publisher but these sure look like it based on ripped content and monetization.
-
But for fun, Google the headline on any article on these and see how many other exact duplicates come up. A bunch, if not pages, of them.
-
And if any of these sites get blacklisted (like broviral . com did), they just shut it down, buy a new domain and pop the database back in.
-
Feel free to add more to this list.
