http://www.filecow.com/ There are 3 adsense ads on the homepage if you didn't notice! Clever or too tacky?
That's a lot of TOS violations! No actual content, labeling the ads... Both cleaver and tacky. And probably going to get him in trouble
Labeling each block as today;s submissions, etc is not doing the adsense ads right. Sure google would love to see the bad labeling. So report the site. Any google adsense cops in here?
LOL - every link that isn't a google ad leads to yet more google ads, no matter what the link says it does and every picture leads to a registration form (for what, I wonder?). Interesting to see how long it lasts.
I wonder how much he'll manage to make before he gets banned. Could google retroactively deprive him of the money he earned while the ads were up?
Yup. They all think they're clever. I bet this guy is constantly marvelling at how easy it is to make money with Adsense.
Google will simply not pay him for anything he's earned up to the point of banishment. And since Google pays you the month after you've earned $100, you're basically working 2 months for free.
Frankly, I do not think it took the guy long to create this site. Even if he/they get one month payment before getting banned, the site will be profitable. I am sure they have a huge AdWords/Yahoo campaign running sending huge volumes of traffic to this site. And look at the ads, those are at list 20 cents clicks... So, do the math.
