Hello guys, I'm always curious if AdSense staff do visit webmaster forums to collect feedback from their users. I actually believe that they do - as they might be as curious as we do too. Also, I'm wondering if there is any Google staff in this forum. If there is AdSense staff here - I'm wondering if they see those complaints by our member that get banned from AdSense innocently.
I'm not sure, but i was thinking the other day are DP vioalting the T&C's of AdSense. They have incentives to download firefox.?
I spotted a thread recently announcing something on the adsense blog, from the tone of the OP I assumed he/she worked at google.
they do come here and they might be regulars even but I don't think someone would acknowledge they work for G
The simple answer is yes, they just dont reveal who they are. Because when you join yahoo or google or another large company, they give you a NDA (non-discloser agreement) which prevents you from telling anyone who you work for, apart from the tax-man and close family. I know because my brother has one. Rob
I wonder if people are employed to do just that or if they do it now and again when there is an hour or so left on a friday afternoon
Yes Google visits this site and clicks the links in your sigs and goes to check out your sites sometimes even.
They Surely Visit All The Possible Forums/Resources they can Is it not possible for DP to figure out the IP Adress form Google.? If this can be done then for sure we come to know the frequency of visit and may be how many are members of DP
they do visit, and sometimes make posts.. the "other" big webmaster forum also has a Adsense employee that watches and sometimes makes posts.. The Adsense marketing team also contacts publishers and interviews them to get their opinions, gripes, etc - they take the good interviewee's and turn them into Adsense Sucess Stories.. I was interviewed by Google via telephone last week. After asking me a bunch of questions i got to ask several, and voice my concerns.. when we talked about the biggest concern of mine, unfair "Auto banning" he assured me (without giving away any secrets) that they take banning very seriously and review each one before pressing "the" button.. He also indicated that they are constantly reviewing their TOS/Policies to see if they need to be adjusted because the Internet is 'constantly changing' ... I came away feeling much better and more confident about the AdSense team. - I know that's not directly related to your question, but i felt like sharing..
that isnt nessesairly true. I know someone who works at google and if you ask where he works he will tell you. I know plenty of developers with fortune 500 companies etc and not one of them had to sign an nda to not disclose there job to people. I think they do sign NDA's for upcoming projects etc but not for that kind of thing.
yea i guess they visit as i see here some members,trying to cheap adsense discloses his tricks here and the following days he gets banned.
