I just came upon toolbars which many people use on their browsers . If you could create one for yourself and put adsense code in it and distribute it then you could generate a lot of revenue . But Does anyone Knows which is the best toolbar builder and free ?
Now you could put a search bar in the toolbar (why, I dont know) and make money from the adense on the search pages. (this is how firefox makes most of its money to my knowledge)
A site or third party cannot display our ads, search box, search results, or referral buttons as a result of the actions of any software application such as a toolbar. from https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-ww-et-asui&medium=link Code (markup):
The Agloco toolbar is coming out soon, and it is a 100% TOS complient toolbar which could earn you cash and shares in the company. Cryo.
No, you cannot put Adsense Adverts IN a toolbar that you distribute to others. You can however, link to pages with Adsense on through the toolbar.
As Oliver said you can always put interesting buttons on your toolbar, so that people may want to click, and in that page you would have adsense ads. But directly in software, it's forbidden.
This has been done by some spyware/adware distributors in the past as well as many other "features" which integrate even onto the desktop and have made them millions! The main thing is will the advertisers stick with you even if theyre having to pay you millions from people getting random popups?
Cause Google owns the damn company, they can do whatever they want. What you want to do is not allowed, period, end of story. If you get big enough to become a premium publisher (a la Firefox) then you can most likely ask for and get permission to do so.
Waste of time. You CANNOT use AdSense with applications. It's in their TOS. This is what you people want.
So lets start posting what has made money from toolbars and what exatly can you do with toolbars and how to do them. Also how much do you think it cost the agloco toolbar to now to get coded?
