    I can not use direct link, because webmasterworld only allow google referer links.

    Go to:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=+site:www.webmasterworld.com+google_hints

    Click the first link which is http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/2918.htm

    Then you can read many users are changed the google_hints, but until Jun 24th, it was not working for everyone, but now it works at leat for my pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx account.

    It is a direct vilation of TOS of adsense, but the forum users on webmasterworld have better connection with google, so whatever they do there is always Legal and Proper with Google....

    Of course there are others that violate Google's terms, but just because others do it, that does not make it allowed. And you really couldn't use that as an excuse if your account got canceled because you did it.

    Is it just me or does qll post some really questionable questions? Not to question your character, but all your posts that I have read to date have been about how much you can legally get away with. Seems really odd...

    but I could be wrong, JMO

    The AdSense terms clearly state you cannot modify the code they give you, so if you are doing more than copy/paste, you are over the limit already.

    Ah... but the weenies at WMW are only talking about it. None of them have yet implemented it.

    It does not appear that the google_contents and google_hints variables are being read for normal publisher accounts.

    haha, touche.... qll, you need a lesson in 'obvious attempts to assist'.... Pretty sure when one of the big guns here says "The AdSense terms clearly state you cannot modify the code they give you" that you can take it to the bank.

    Again, why are you always trying to push the envelope? Just abide and provide....

    Once the adsense is suspended, you can appeal against it. But there are only 5% of chance to reopen it. I don't think that people have connection with google adsense... may be there are using other google adsense account.. which is registered in different name.
