    Hello
    Someone is selling this site: www.tvdedicated.com
    Is this against adsense TOS?
    He has no videos on his site.

    Thanks.

    If there is no copyrighted material on the site, then I guess it is ok. But you can confirm via contacting adsnese support.

    And of course you can back up that claim right?

    Also am I mistaken or does the site in your sig have adsense and copyrighted material all over it?

    As long as those episode descriptions haven't be swiped from somewhere, it's probably fine.

    It would be against the Adsense Program Policies if it was displaying copyrighted video, whether the video was locally hosted or not.

    As the site does not actually contain any videos or have any copyrighted material on it, he's not breaking any rules. I ran a site like that for ~6 months a year back and had no problems.

    Webhead2, what do you mean by "this site is taking traffic from me" ?

    And guys, sorry, I don't understand, why this site is against TOS?
    can someone explain?

    The issue was whether the site was displaying copyrighted content, which doesn't appear to be the case. It looks like webhead2 is the only one who thinks it's against ToS, so he'll have to explain.

    Copyrighted content without permission of the copyright holder = against Adsense Program policies

    Selling a website is just changing management and it is not against TOS unless the website contains materials that violates TOS.

    there's nothing wrong with that site from what I see. I checked out the description and it appears to be unique.

    @webhead2
    how is that site taking your traffic? care to explain?

    @badeyes
    placing adsense on the frontpage is ok, but placing it on proxied pages is against adsense terms as your monetizing others content.
