Are we allowed to do this?

Hi guys,

Am I allowed to use:

Is this against the TOS?

Thanks for the replies

 

I would think it is against terms. Not sure but i would not try it myself.

 

i think it will be a problem.

most of the mfa sites are doing that .

try using referral codes on the different parts of your site

 

I only want Adsense on one page...

 

Why would it be against tos? i don't get it.

 

Because I am sort of telling people to press on the Adsense ads.

 

We aren't supposed to draw attention to the ads, but we can put some text there saying that they are sponsors.

and edit. yes. You should endorse and promote the referrals! Testify about the googlie goo!

 

So I would write something such as:

If you need some equipment try these sponsor ads:

?

 

No, You can't go try this (even if you say their sponsored ads). You can label them as sponsored ads but you can't tell people to click on them.

 

Okay. So I basically can't write anything except 'sponsored ads' ?

 

Theres different rules for adsense and refferals.

I think you can do that, but are better off reccomending them.

 

Sponsored links works aswell.
EDIT: Oh crap referral, I have no idea about anything about referral ads. Shiza, nvm my comment it's directed to normal ads

 

I wouldn't put anything at all, just leave them as they come. I don't think it would make people click them more anyway, if if you did write "check out these cool links" or whatever.

 

Not really. 'Sponsored links' and 'advertisements' are safe labels to use - use anything else and you risk drawing undue attention to your ads and feeling the wrath of Google.

 

By visiting this page : https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-ww-et-asui&medium=link&hl=en

you can read
May not place misleading labels above Google ad units - for instance, ads may be labeled "Sponsored Links" but not "Favorite Sites"

Sounds like you can only write that.

 

Okay here's the answer.

"Additionally, you can endorse referral ads because you know the exact ad you are displaying on your site. You are offering your visitors genuine advice based on the products and services you think they'll like. However, with CPC ads you don't know which ads will show up -- it would be disingenuous for you to recommend the products or services in your ads in this case, which could result in visitors being misled.

Of course, publishers may never encourage people to click on any ad, including referrals, for deceptive purposes. For example, you can't ask visitors to click on a referral ad to make you money. Any endorsement or attention drawn to a referral ad must be done in a way that supports the intended use of the product or service associated with it."

So yes you can post that for referral ads.

 

So let me clear this up.

I AM allowed to post: "If you need some equipment try:"

Thanks a lot guys

 

Yes you are.

 

No you're not. You can't say that because you don't know that the ads will be advertising equipment. If you must label your ads stick to 'sponsored links' or 'advertisements' - nothing else.

 

Let me refer you to my previous post from the Adsense blog mate.
