    Today I got an email from a company Expoactive.com. They offered me to join their program which, upon reading in detail, looks just like adsense. They'll give me a code which I'll have to paste in my webpages.

    Do you know about this program ? if so can we join it along with google adsense or will it be against the TOC of adsense ? Here is the url :

    Copycats, looks like that.

    Sure, you won't be allowed to use them along with adsense anyway.

    I had that same email. They look a bit dodgy to me - you can't see the ad they will place on your site until you sign up with them.

    If they mimic the Google ads in any way or if it's a contextual ad network, then you won't be allowed to use them together with Adsense as per the ToS

    I've been testing ExpoAction and I'm not pleased with the results. Many of the publishers bid $0.03 which I assume is the minimum. As such, there's few high value ads and if you filter out the low value ads, then you end up with a static set of ads.

    here's the blog I'm testing it on
    http://realgeek.blogspirit.com/

    Note, when you refresh or switch pages, there is little change in the ads. That's because I deleted/rejected all the single cent ads.

    They don't pay, expoactive is definitely a SCAM. I requested a payment more then one week ago, and nothing happens ...
    Beware of expoactive !
