Florida Arrest.org: Google Now Cashing In On Mug Shot Photos

[L0oniX]

New Orleans, LA (WiredPRNews.com) Remove Slander.com announced that they have discovered a link between Google and many of the mug shot websites that have popped up over the last two months. Sites like Florida Arrest.org leads the pack as one of the most difficult and reveling mug shot sites on the web, but more copycat sites are now cashing in on the trend.

For years Google AdSense has been the driving force behind millions of affiliate marketing websites all trying to get paid from Google ad placements, and the mug shot sites are no exception. Mug shot sites are often paid on the number of clicks or the number total impressions, meaning how many times the page containing the ad was opened. The incentive is to post the booking photo of the arrested person on the mug shot site as quickly as possible and then wait for them to open the page.

Phillip Lee a spokesperson for Remove Slander.com says that they have even traced on one the mug shot sites directly back to Google’s main office, which clearly appears to be an unethical conflict of interest.

Imagine your neighbors kid accuses you of molestation because you told him to stay off your property. Imagine you get arrested and later are exonerated ...but your mug shot is on Google along with the arrest info and your address. Imagine you are a young girl and got busted for something silly and now your photo and address is on Google. A stalker's paradise? I suspect that sites like Remove Slander.com are linked to Florida Arrest.org and other mug shot websites. Florida Arrest.org is worth over $100,000. You tell me how is that possible for a site that has no ads or any means of profit? So now it comes to light that Google may be involved in this extortion racket. There needs to be a class action lawsuit imo.
