Yes, it is true according to the proprietary methods employed by Google the advertisers on my blog have been recieving "incorrect" clicks. No warning, no recourse, Adsense is suspended and access to my account and the balance is blocked. Funny though, Google kept feeding the ads. Racket. Pending their getting back to me with their proprietary review of their proprietary conviction based on proprietary methods I saved them the mebarassment by removing the temptation those ads presented. I actually suspect they don't want to pay for the cookies to the troops but that answer is surely proprietary as well. So, it turns out I. no... we may -need- a "tip jar." I haven't been lazy implementing this, I've struggled with what was to be an endowment more than anything. Now any tip jar needs to pay for Mbs and CPU cycles ans Gb storage and fractional T3. So, pending feedback I've decided to make the ethics issue "disappear." The tip jar will be exactly that; money people want to give me no strings attached. I promise to use it in the most irresponsible and self centered manner I can imagine. That way if some ends up paying for Casey's one way plane ticket as an April Fools joke or FedEX shipment of a blog printout to the Phoenix FBI offices or secure webhosting with forums and tiered access those will be a pleasant surprise and not some form of entitlement.

I'm in as soon as you set up the tip jar !
I would contribute to the tip jar.
Too bad Google cut off your SWEET deal.
Off topic: I just had to fill out and send back my Homeowners' $7K tax exemption to the County Assessor's office. I wonder if Casey filled out one of these for each of his CA residences. If I remember correctly, you can only receive the exemption for your primary residence. I'm sure there is SOME penalty if he tries to applies the exemption to each of his CA residences.
I'm in on the jar. Spend it on Casey, spend it on beer, whatever you want. Hopefully something to amuse the rest of us, but even if you want to invest it in spec houses to fund your retirement, it's your call Rob Dawg.
As for Casey filing homeowner's exemption for his houses, are you talking about Casey Serin? Ha! Sure, he'll sign bloody anything you put in front of him, but as far as actually finding a form, filling it out, signing it (OK, that's easy), and sending it in -- no chance of that, methinks. Far too complex a transaction.
He might be conniving, but in this case, laziness surely won over connivance. Perhaps (for once?) to his benefit.
wow, you and Casey show something I've always imagined could be a weakness with AdSense.
If someone doesn't like your blog they can "spam click" your ads, and get Google to shut you out of AdSense with charges of "click fraud".
I'm surprised that more sites aren't attacked this way.
I for one clicked on the Wee-Wee pads ad with the full intention of buying some at the right price. (Seriously, my dogs bark too much for my neighbors’ preference so I keep them inside when I'm at work.)
Rob Dawg, does Google explain how the clicks were incorrect, i.e. volume or context? Some of your more recent posts generated an interesting pastiche of ads.
I'm in.
Casey's words are going to hang him and show him to be the liar we all know he is. Here, from the lastest, is proof that he has money rolling in on the side he hasn't previously disclosed:
"I DO have a little bit of incoming coming in from various sources and I AM working. What does it matter to you HOW I make my money? I’m taking care of my wife’s school and I’m paying rent (it was late but better late than never). And yes this month we didn’t have enough to pay her credit cards so she will probably get a 30 day late if she hasn’t already."
Rob, I am in and if you are looking for ideas, Istrongly support your cookies for the troops...
I'm in. Did you know that Amazon has one as well?
Also: Anonymous...he isn't working and if money is "coming in from various sources" then I wonder if this is a statement from a guy who doesn't want to look helpless. I don't believe that statement. I think he says it to create an illusion.
Oh and yes, the shorter Dolph is me. I have two blogger accounts where one is Dolph and the other is Dolph, Just Dolph.
Just saying so people don't think somebody is pretending to be me.
bemused guy,
The cookie orders are supposed to go in this Saturday. I think we collected enough for 2 cases provided Google doesn't freeze the entire account.
As to the donations, some -has- to go to blog support expenses. As little as possible as I'm a cheap New Englander body, soul and upbringing. Remember blogspot is essentially Google now so the safe thing is to move the site before they make more unilateral decisions. After costs you'll just have to trust me that the rest will either amuse you or make you feel good. Recall my promise, I promise to misuse the money in as wasteful a manner as possible and anything beyond that is gravy. That way no one is disappointed.
Rob -
great news about the cookies.
Now, please, amusez-nous! :)
Slightly different topic for those who wonder Where In The World is Casey.
I think the West Sacramento reference in the Sacramento Bee article was a red herring. Everything else suggests that Casey lives in the Roseville area ... he still uses the mail drop in Roseville, when he posted his WF statement most of the food and drink charges were in Roseville, and he had the Veedub inspected out there as well (the photos of the car were talen at a place off of Five Star Blvd in Roseville), and there is no reason Galina would travel all the way to Sierra College if she were living in West Sac ... there are at least three community colleges that are closer.
I kind of figured it was only a matter of time before the Hater-Haters would come over here and spread their poison to get the Google Ads taken down.
Just sent you some sweet $ - waste it on whatever you want.
No more body odor ads?
Damn! Damn! Damn!
I just sent some dirty pennies your way, keep up the great work !
No more body odor ads?
I'm negotiating a sweet deal with Ogg's Worldwide Wang Waft-Awy Inc., for sponsorship. If after 15 days the make groinal odor of the entire US is noticeably less I get paid. 750 fishy treats suitably deodorized for mixed company serving. Only problem is writing the "crotch-n-sniff" html code for the home page.
I must admit that "groinal" is a new one. And thank god that HTLM code is still a mystery to me.
Yet the Wang Waft-Away is still a most excellent idea - I am sure all the hair and clubbing could boy parts pungent at times. Still Ogg, have we forgotten all the lady Cavemen out there?????
BTW, I'm all for the tip jar concept, but I still think it's worth following up on Google's "incorrect" clicks Nonesense and not just taking their BS. Housing Panic still has Google Ads and Kieth seems to get a lot of traffic. What's the difference? It's probably a bug in their own software.
The difference to Casey between a W-2 job and HIS jobs are that his are tax deductible (at least in his eyes). No W-2? No taxes! SWEET!!!
Glad to see the noose tightening and his eyes popping.
If I had to guess I'd say the retailer of the real odor products was not amused. They probably have hundreds of ad placements in girlytalk and women's medical forums and just us girls blogs and when they saw EN they blanched and Google overreacted. And no, I will not stand still while Google denies the troops their cookies.
Casey's BS and online porn are two complete wastes of time. Yet I find myself pulled back into it.
Anybody have an idea on when the home in New Mexico will go back to auction?
You mean this blog isn't "just us girls!!!" WTF?
Sent some dirty peenies your way Dawg - try not to spend them all in one place.
Sorry Rob, the dirty peenies go to Ogg. Sent dirty pennies to you.
Anyway we could send you check/cash via snail mail? I don't use paypal.
hobbes; email: techscan a-t adelphia d-o-t net for alternate methods.
Mel, wife and three daughters. I'm drowning in estrogen. Either is fine believe me.
thanks Rob. BTW: I just went to
https://tips.fbi.gov/
and submitted this:
Possible bank fraud.
http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/
It appears that Casey Serin, the owner of the above linked site committed loan fraud, he admits in the above blog that he lied on at least 6 loan forms about owner occupancy and about his income. He also structured the transaction to be close to simultaneous and therefore
preclude the possibility of the lenders uncovering the fraud. It appears he engaged in a scheme to receive cash back at closing,which was also not disclosed to the lender.
He also has recently talked about "flying under the radar."
It is likely that given the nature and number of the transactions, that Mr. Serin had accomplices (such as appraiser, loan officers, maybe his wife) --- but this is speculation at this point (although earlier blogs, now removed by Mr. Serin indicate that his wife, Galina Serin, nee' Supran, was involved in at least one property).
@NoVa Sideliner
In CA, at least in Sac County and a few neighboring counties I have lived in, the homeowners' exemption is mailed out to you. All he would have to do is fill out a couple of lines, sign, and mail the form back. Fully within his lazy ass capabilities.
@bored in Roseville said
Umm, no, Casey living in West Sac is not a red herring. He lives with his sister-in-law in West Sacramento as a photo of his Jetta outside that residence shows. Galina's family lives 5 blocks away from the SIL. A third unoccupied property linked to Casey is less than 2 miles away.
While his PO box is located in Roseville and is probably in the same strip mall as the coffeehouse he did the KRON interview at, and while his initial Jetta photos were taken in Roseville at the strip mall parking lot next to the freeway off-ramp and across the street from the Roseville Costco, he is currently living in West Sacramento.

Just added the cost of 2 JJ's to the tip jar.
Did we ever hear what happened with that "homeless" dude that was showing more work ethic than Casey by mowing his lawn?
It seemed like such a big deal at the time, but then Casey got a trampoline and it's gone by the way side.
Maybe Casey's started collecting the lawn clippings and making his own Uzbeck-style wheat grass juice on the cheap. SWEET!
@Ratlab
If those were Casey's JJ costs you are on your way to making the Dawg a rich man one day soon.
Ratlab,
That's like $74 in Caseyworld™. I hope you mean real world JJs. Thanks.
Maybe homeless dude and CS worked out a trade. Hell, if the dud could fit a lawnmower in that car, he probably could have stashed the trampoline in there as well.
"Give me your trampoline homeless dude and you can stay on MY property - sweeeeet!"
Hmmm.....What is the minimum Paypal fee for use of the tip jar? The reason I ask is it might be fun to send multiple tips to our hero for .01 and make him go in the hole for all the fees!
@Sredniv
As of last week, the homeless dude's car is now parked in the street in front of the house, much in the same place as Casey's own flickr photos of the Burdett property from a few months ago. Jumper cables in the passenger seat, car window left a crack open for ventilation, and blankets of some sort in the back seat. Couldn't tell if the homeless dude was under the blankets, in the house, or anywhere else.
@mel
LOL! No, not the value-added costs of Casey's JJ!! You know, if Casey actually worked at the JJ 2 blocks away, he would have free access to JJ and maybe access to the WiFi at the Starbucks two doors away.
new post...begging for hate.
Check out IAFF for a blow by blow of how Casey spent the $250.
Casey bought G some roses for Valentines Day and some SWEET Jamba Juice for himself. Bought with the SEET $250.00 check he cashed for his redemption rights on the NM property.
Now that's a productive day !!
@Ratlab
If you say that filthy four letter word "w*rk" again in association with "Mr. No W-2 For Me, U Loosers" then I am afraid that I will have to tell the teacher on you. What the hell, I'm gonna anyways.
OH ROB! RATLAB'S BEING MEAN TO CASEY AGAIN!
OMG!!! I just looked at the newest picure of Casey sipping his JJ and it seared my f*cking eyeballs! He is the ugliest, shiftiest, skankiest, orangest looking dickhead I have ever seen.
Ratlab, even you don't have enough money to make me jump in the sack with that sack (o shit).
Alright ratlab, you are banished to a far corner of the internet. Don't come back unless ... oh hell. We can't stay mad at you. All is forgiven.
mel, no one likes a tattletale (unless it's really juicy.)
Remember he's our mouse and if we play too rough the bigger mice will just come and play with him themselves and then we'll need a court order just to find out where they took him.
I didn't say work, did I? If JJ spins it the right way, they could explain to Casey that a W-2 is how many wheatgrass shots he gets per hour for services rendered.
Could he be a greeter at JJ?
"Hi, welcome to JJ! Please try out latest wheatgrass creation. I have one every four hours and look how I turned out!"
I never get to have any fun. And yes, Ratlab you did say work! I'm telling!
"You know, if Casey actually worked at the JJ 2 blocks away..."
Wonder what Casey would be like if he did a real shot? Slurring his words about a sthweeeeeet deal....
I wonder if the blacked out name of the brokerage firm that paid for the redemption rights is RCM Realty Inc.
I gotta go now and meet with the fellow I am building some duplexes here in town with. The time, effort and money that goes into a real estate venture before you see the first dime is incredible - I find it laughable that anyone thinks real estate is an immediate means to "passive income." Every land use and building permitting entity in town, not to mention the DEP, watches our every move. And outsourcing? Please, why would I want someone else knowing where my money was before I did? Hands on, baby - it's the only way. Like my dad always said, "If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it." Just hung up from him - talking about this blog makes him roll with laughter.
Passive income? Passive, my ass.
The magic word for the would be real estate developer/investor: presell
@ ratlab
If it's anything like his usual choices for realtors, the name will be something like "Seriously Legit Realty" or "Not a Felon Realty". Because when you've got nothing to hide, you usually like to indicate that by incorporating that into your business' name. At least in CaseyWorld.
His CPA sees no problem with the formation of Casey Corp for the purposes obtaining credit to give it's insolvent principle director a large unsecured loan?
Where on earth did he find this CPA?
@ratlab
re: red herring and West Sac; thanks, I missed the post with the Jetta pic and the house.
His post this afternoon in Jamba Juice is from the Roseville store (Galleria Blvd, in the parking lot where Best Buy is), so he does continue to spend a lot of time out here then. Sure is a long way to go to check your mail.
@still bored in Roseville
No problem. It also may explain why Galina leaves for school at 6:00 AM. Of course, you have to wonder why she doesn't go to Sac City College or Cosumnes instead of Sierra.
Rob:
I would not worry that Google is going to come along and pull your blog offline. You're not even close to pushing the boudaries of their TOS.
Plus, as we saw with Casey and the NLL episode, you're just as likely (if not moreso) to risk being pulled offline at some smaller, third-party ISP that could be shut down much more easily and is therefore more open to being pressured than Google is. Also, given your traffic levels, you'll have to worry about bandwidth charges, whereas you don't have to worry about bandwidth if you stay on Google. Finally, you'll be less anonymous if you self-host, whereas on Google you're as anonymous as you choose to be.
In short, don't waste your $ and your time getting a new blog set up elsewhere. Stay the course and spend the $ on something better.
Just a little advice from a tech professional who used to run a web hosting company....
Need I say it Vague Guru? Dammit man! Have some mercy!
How about a big ole Donald Trump combover on CS's small shrunken head? The epitome of success!
Mel: My gaydar goes off more and more whenever I see Casey. The kid is trying too hard to sell his looks (which, if I was casting for a movie or photoshoot he's average at best).
He looks too fashionable (overdressed) to be hanging at Jamba Juice. I just want to know what all this is about? One minute he's upset about his legal troubles, the next he's dressed up snapping photos of himself at Jamba Juice.
Argh.
@Dolph
Who is shooting the photos of Casey the Clown? The cell phone at his ear, the jumbo jamba, the risky business shades.....does he really think he is going to get "discovered?"
BTW, Wikipedia has an amusing article on wheatgrass at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_grass
which includes a reference to a Simpson's episode where Homer made a wheatgrass and vodka cocktail and dubbed it a "lawnmower"
@Mel: He probably sweet talked a girl or guy behind the counter by introducing himself as the famous Casey Serin of Iamfacingforeclosure.com
LOL
