Is this against adsense rules?

    Hey,

    I'm just messing around with adsense on my site, and I came up with this: a simple, ugly layout, cluttered with ads, minimizing the user's choice. The only problem is, it's not a "complete site" missing navigation and the like.

    Here's the URL to an example: http://www.panic-at-the-disco.info/lyrics-Build_God__Then_We_ll_Talk.htm

    personally... I have seen many get by with sites that look much worse then yours.

    I think there is some stuff in the adsense tos about sites under construction... course that is kind of open to opinion

    It's actually content though -- it's just what SE's see. It's ugly/simple to make it 100% SE friendly. Sort of like the archive in vBulletin. The real version is at http://www.panic-at-the-disco.info/lyrics-Build_God__Then_We_ll_Talk.htm

    So you have no interest in making a decent, visitor-friendly site at all, huh? It's all about the buck? Good luck. :rolleyes:

    You will probably get a compliancy warning to place a border between the images and your ads because they are so close together, but other that that, it is fine.

    People get confuse either it's a link on your page, or an ads, what G want is, to make user clearly understand that it is an "ads", not your link.

    I know i'm newbie anyway :), but if i am an advertiser, i dont want my ads getting confuse by people, they must know that was my ads, showing my product, not a link, but from publisher view, that will somehow lose your potential click, thanks anyway for the advice.

    ok that doesnt really make sense... you are putting compeditors product links (via adsense) on the same page you are selling products but you dont want your visitors to be confused what products are yours?

    A little secret of adsense is all those sites that are confusing are some of the best converting for publishers.
