    Hello,

    I saw a site today and it's heavily promoted in my country.

    http://www.makemoneypk.com/index.html

    He wrote only 5 articles and promoting it with adwords. Obviously he is making good enough so promoting it well.

    I have a question. Is it all allowed? Only 5 articles with 3 block ads.

    I heard google banned sites like these.

    Please comment.

    It looks like an MFA site. Sooner or later these are banned

    To answer the original question, no this kind of "made for adsense" sites are not allowed. Google does ban people over such things.

    Who cares what other people do? Google eventually catches up with these people. How does this affect you exactly?

    I'm not seeing the problem. For those who say there is a problem with the site, what in your opinion would the author of this site have to do to make this site acceptable to google?

    I mean, google allows you 3 ads right? Also, google is displaying proper ads for the site right? He is not blending the ad to deceive the viewer. The only thing he may be guilty of is not having a privacy policy or contact page. He may be guilty of bad design too but google doesn't flag accounts because people are color blind.

    seriously, be specific with what you are seeing.

    I don't see anything really wrong with the site. It is not agains any of the TOS of Google.

    There is almost no content on that site (5 very short articles), and you have to scroll down a page or a page-and-a-half to see that. I see a site made for no other reason except Adsense. These are against Google's TOS.

    Now I hope you were joking when you asked "what are you guys seeing"?

    That's what I was thinking until I turned off my ad blocker and I have changed my mind that, yea, that guy should be banned.

    lol.. I see nothing wrong in the site.
    The only breaking of TOS I can see is the image just above the large rectangle ad block.

    Who the hell cares if it's a MFA or not? It's not against the TOS to make a site like that. So, congrats to the owner. ;)

    You dont decide weather its fair or not.

    Google will decided weather its MFA or not, certainly we cant decided for them.

    The owner has been clever and is obviously running a successful AdWords campaign and has a good AdSense Niche. Google has seen this all before and if they thinks its necessary they will do something about it.
