Why Am I Not Allowed To Post My Stats

    I have seen several threads here at DP where someone had posted their adsense stats, and then someone else came along behind them to point out that doing this is against Google's TOS.

    My question is why??????

    I do not see why this would be a problem for google. It does not generate a click to their advertiser, it does not pull ads from their server to consume bandwidth, it doesn't touch on their system at all. Heck, it doesn't even provide very detailed information aside from how many ads I serve and what I am paid for it - and how is it any of Google's business if I want to share this information?

    I've never done this, but if I ever wanted to, what's the big deal?

    Google pays so we must play their rules... even if we like it or not.

    Yes, but why is it not allowed? There has to be a specific reason why they wrote a policy on the matter. I'm just wondering what that reason is. Is there something they are trying to hide?

    it might be that advertisers see the stats and they might not like it cause a lot of them pays by 1000 impressions (i think) and competitors might figure out how to get better CTR and implement something that might be better than googles.. im not sure if it make sense but yea
