Adsense on Incentive Search Engine

Hi,

I have a search Engine,Not powered by Google its completely stand-alone to any other search engine.

When users search they earn SearchPoints which can be exchanged for cash into their paypal.

I am wondering would this site be allowed on Adsense?
In the Adsense Program Policies it says "May not compensate users for viewing ads" Would this fall under this heading?

thanks

 

Hmm... thats a tricky decision to make.

Because technically you are compensating for users viewing ads, but then again, its a tough decision. Whether Google would take action I'm not sure.

Its up to you what you do.

Off-Topic: What do you make out of it if you're rewarding them for searching?

 

I make money from the clicks.

I really need to know this for certain cos I'm launching it in two days and I gotta know which ad companies allow this.

 

hmm! its kinda like a border line question. you are not paying your visitors to view adsense ads but you are paying them to search. i would think as long as you don't use adsense search box on that site, you will be OK. but better ask google to make sure. you don;t want them to watch your money grow and cut you off when its time to pay

 

how could I go about contacting them? thanks soo much for your help

 

can anybody give me a link to where I could contact them?
thanks!

 

go to adsense.com there should be contact information there

 

they dont allow ads on incentive sites......

 

You could use an alternative like CBProAds, Bidvertiser, Adbrite just to be sure.
