    Not my site.

    It's kind of like a search engine that displays adsense in the results.. therefore high CTR.

    Anyone have any idea if this is in compliance with Adsense terms?

    I'm not sure as he has no real borders between the Adsense and the search results.. I use a similar script on my lookwhatdavefound.info that is much better and has a toggle for "safe ads" which places a border on the ads.. I actually just got the script and am still "playing" with it so can't report any results as yet but it's available on eBay for around $55.

    The owner of this script got his account banned.

    With the new placement reports, you wont have advertisers for your site for much longer.

    It seems to be a difficult search engine plus they have mixed up the google ads and the search results just to get few clicks. I am sure those clicks will be 100% wrong because viewer must have thought that he is clicking the search result.

    I don't like that site.

    Which script? The one in the first post or the one I mentioned?

    May I ask where you got your information?

    As nearly as I can tell, my script should be in compliance as the ads have clear borders.

    Not sure about this one. It is being sold on DP and people appear to be enthusiastic about it. I do not see the appeal behind it though - forgetting the Adsense part, there is no meaningful search result at all, unless I am missing something.

    TOS wise, they sort of fulfill the requirement that the Adsense does not look like the content. Only part not sure of is if it really has any content as such.
