This is against TOS right?

I came across this page today. It shows 5 google blocks. The limit is 3 per page right?

Yes it is against adsense terms. Adsense usually do a good job of detecting more than 3 ad blocks and they usually only show 3 no matter how many you put on the page. I don't know how he got around that.

 

Some kind of iframe?

 

Yea i dont know how they did it, it usually wont even show more then 3 blocks on one page.

 

Just use frames. But maybe they are major publisher and have a special deal ? Who knows.

 

Those are the ad units and pub-ID of a regular publisher. Obviously bending the rules to get a few more clicks.

 

I think he would have gotten as many clicks with three rows.

 

it's against the adsense tos. i have reported him to adsense . i hope adsense team will click his/her ads

 

How is that even possible? I thought after you go after the maximum 3, it just doesn't show the rest.

 

could be iframes..

 

It's not. It looks like he is a premium pub to me. He is using keyword targeting within the Adsense code...

It seems editing the Adsense code would be easily detectable by the Adsense, so they have to know about this.
