Is my blog considered a MFA?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by clivechung, Jan 12, 2008.

    my new health-related blog's conversion rate is pretty good, so far 1000 UV and has earned $30 from adsense, $300 from affiliate ($40 each sale), and around 100 subscribers (most traffic from article marketing, and they are pretty targeted)

    and i am planning to buy PPC (adwords), but i heard some people say google will ban my adsense account if i use adwords for the traffic source when they think my blog is a MFA site.

    here is my blog: http://acid-reflux-tips.blogspot.com/

    is it a MFA site from google's point of view?

    Your blog looks fine to me.
    There is more then 2-3 articles, so it's rather unlikely they will consider it MFA.
    Anyway, you can always email them and ask if you can drive traffic to your blog using AdWords.

    Bookmark the articles on some the social sites and see if you can get you site included in the blog rolls of related sites.

    It looks fine to me too. If you want to promote it, try submitting you RSS feed to RSS sites.

    you have more than enough content for not to be considered as MFA site.

    No I dont think Google will consider your blog a MFA, looks like a pretty informative blog.
    You said
    , what is that? and how does it work? can you write few sentences about that?

    I write articles and post it in ezinearticles, but i don't write for the keywords (seems that it worked before, but Google is smarter now i think). Here is what I do, my blog is about acid reflux and heartburn, i go to some popular forum about my niche and pick up some "most-viewed" thread and copy their title. For example, i saw a thread's title like "I get heartburn everytime I drink water", then I will write an article like "Does water cause heartburn?", it has worked pretty good for me, many people will pick up my article, and traffic will come from their website.

    hope this help :)

    Its actually screaming and saying I am MFA. I actually define MFA in a different way. People who write on sensitive topics and information such as health and medical should have enough education and knowledge about the topic.

    Scraping material from online sources won't make you a doctor overnight. If people read your blog and find your unreliable source and take it for granted. Imagine how you will affect their lives.

    Matt cutts wrote an excellent article on Spam in health related niches and how it affects the community.

    I absolutely second his thoughts. If you dont know about the topic, dont write about it and confuse people, especially when its related to health or medical which can affect our lives in much greater way.

    The money you earn from writing false medical information is never worth it. I know my post is hard hitting but the fact remains the same.

    If thats the case then the Blog in your sig is a MFA. Lord knows it's only jammed with the max # of G ads allowed... Plus content ads etc.... and I suppose you invented VOIP... No, your trying to cash in just like the original poster, G, Me, and all of DP!!!

    I couldn't disagree with you more....:eek: First of all, should we stop posting anything medical unless we are doctors? Should we not do sites about car care unless were mechanics? Are you serious? Based on your post we should only do sites about our field of study?? Thats nuts... The net is full of dis information, thats the beauty of it. You have to figure out whats real and whats not. So should I believe that the "Make Millions Online" sites are genuine because you and MC say that they are the experts on it. Did you even read what you posted? Yeah sure if your family member is suffering from some dreaded disease that's horrible but is MC and g going to save the world by excluding every site that is not the " Authority" on a particular subject. Yeah thats the "natural" order of the search results.... ahhh not... G more and more is becoming the dictator of search... There's nothing natural about G anymore.

    When are people going to figure out thats it's all about the money. From G all the way down to this blogger, it's about the money. So it's ok for G to cash in every milli second of the day but not us little guys? Unless of course we're the Guru of a particular subject. Bah ha ha, that's hilarious.... There would be no net... 99% of the people on DP have sites that they are not the MC proclaimed Dali lama of.

    Have you ever thought that his traffic may be interested in this type of article without having to go out in that dark alley of searches (G) to look for it. They may be glad he posted it.

    Your site is fine... Dont listen to this guy or MC as they know not what they say.... Post what you think your "user base" will find interesting. Dont post to suit MC are his groupies... At least that what G "used" tell us.

    No disrespect intended but thats the crazy thing I ever heard.

    Good stuff, very funny....

    I think this site is talking about brain tumor(a type of cancer i think) surgery. :eek:

    I don't know about the contents about the Google ads, but my blog's content are focused on heartburn diet recipe and some natural herbs(vegetables and fruit), it's more like a cookbook than a health-related topic.

    but i think you are right, many bad health-related information are floating on the internet. Not only disease treatment, but some weight loss drugs/pills are very dangerous too.
