What are these 24/7 google engineers doing hpuse?

I would say they can take a break now as no more passport copycat SEO wannabes are sneaking into their ad servers ?

So what your saying is Google dosent like passport renewal sites, but they are absolutely fine with driving licence renewal sites?

Good job Google isnt in the public sector. Having a team of engineers sitting there waiting 24/7 for a passport renewal site to pop up must cost a bit.

Did I say that?
What I have said is :

Google has a team of engineers that monitors copycat penetration on their ad servers.

As far I am concerned, they have done a sterling job in the past 2 months blocking copycat passport renewal, congestion charging and DVLA tagged SEO websites.

There may be some parasites sneaking in always as you point out - but hey,
Powerful/Pollycat/BoP and others - do you think we all live in a perfect world seeing the same?

If so, here is another message for the cliques here:

Google 'passport renewal' and round about the middle of the first page is:-

..a 'copycat' passport site....charging an extra £69. You stood your google soldiers down far too soon hpuse,

Oh no...I am tired of replying to this same old thing. I thought it was only BoP and Pollycat, now you too, gik.

Perhaps the best statistical joke from this thread is the correlation between 'thanks' and the quality of posts....

So you think that posts that you don't like or agree with are a joke irrespective of how many other people think otherwise?
That sums up your how blinkered you really are.

If you are not willing to accept other points of view, why bother wasting yours and everyone else's time?

It is not the posts that I don't like or agree with.

It is the 'concept', 'principles', and trading ethics our elected government and worlds no:1 search engine do not agree with and that starts right with post#1.

Hence as a result, copycat ads were removed and banned.

Irony is, there still are people here to jump in joy seeing 'exceptions'. Is there a world without exception?, what do you think, Shaun From Africa?
