Easy AdSense Warning

  • Warning Easy AdSense redirects your ad revenue. It is stealing, pure and simple. The plugin very cleverly re-inserts the plugin author’s Google AdSense publisher ID in place of your own. After you configure settings (which all appear just fine) it puts his publisher ID back into the settings during the save process. You see the Settings Updated indication and believe you can move on. You’ll see ads running immediately, further leading you to believe that all is well, but revenue derived therefrom is redirected to his account.

    The author should be prosecuted.

  • @jvinch… thank you very much for sharing. I for one greatly appreciate you taking the trouble to do the post.

    Yeah I just installed this plugin on one of my niche websites and while browsing through the pages to make sure everything worked ok, I found the Chikita box in ONLY my Disclaimer page.

    That’s kind of sneaky if you ask me, I don’t care if it’s disclosed in some readme file somewhere.

    On top of that, the plugin has a pop up in the settings area asking me to donate.

    Choice is yours if you want to use this plugin.

    But just imagine for a moment if you hired a web designer to design a site and they inserted their affiliate links somewhere hidden on your site (i.e. one page you might not check), how would that make you feel?

    I’ve taken the liberty to hack this douches code. (v3.00) His ad details are contained in “defaults.php” in a pseudo encrypted file. (I suspect he’s not using google adsense because he’s already been banned or would be banned for violating TOS).

    Copy/paste the following string into the defaults.php file (it basically sets all the ad code null while keeping the “porn filter”:
    (This scrolls alll the way over there —>)

    You can view the above array by using;

    $data = unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode(str_replace( "\r\n", "",$str))));
print_r($data);

    I’ve hacked up other aspects of the code to get rid of his link backs that show under the ad, as well as all the BS in the admin section. I’ve also changed the default values to NO if I ever need to reset. (I’m sure most of you can figure that stuff out on your own).

    I’m pretty sure I could package up my hacked version and distribute it freely since the license says “you can modify and distribute”.

    Also you can use the same command above to view his original data array, then copy/paste his ad code onto your porn/warez sites and click often from the same computer. ??

    I used Easy Adsense since years and my Adsense revenues seems to be “un-stolen”!
    I tried to decode the $str and it appeared to simply be an array of BidVertiser ads. Nothing more. Nothing malicious.

    Maybe we should listen to the author?

    About ‘manojt’, we can read from the readme file:

    Want to go beyond AdSense?
