    Hey all,

    I've been making some major changes to my sites and was hopig someone could have a look at this template and let me know if there are any obvious issues as far as the adsense TOS goes with this site...

    http://www.hypercloak.com/

    I've got a privacy policy linked in at the bottom of the page now that was previously omitted, and just wanted to make sure all is good with the ad placements and such as well...

    hmnnn seems to be OK but whether Google would be happy with loads of ads all over places with very little content remains to be seen. Get some more content onnthe page and at least try and shopw willing. That way you are less likely to be slapped potentially.

    Yeah I've already engaged a designer to build something for me already, so hoping to expand the site with additional content within the next couple of weeks.

    Thanks for the feedback though.

    The site looks cool but I do not want to disappoint you. Google may see this a s a MFA site due to excessive use of adsense.

    They seem cool about it for now as i had a non compliant message from them for ad placement so I made some changes and I've got the nod from them that everything is good again...

    I have had the thought about the MFA issue though, as while these sites aren't specifically MFA they can as you say have a tendency to look similar, so I'm working on a project to clean that up and expand the site. Hopefully that will resolve that once and for all.

    It always pays to keep the big G happy...

    I don't think the MFA applies so much to your site because aproxy site is a service and generally is not going to be overly content driven.

    I would recommend putting some space between the text ads above and below the search box because Google isn't very fond of Adsense so close to navigational items.

    Yeah that sounds reasonable so I'll have a look at fixing that. Thanks.

    almecho, one thing you are missing is a privacy policy which is required by Google Adsense after the last TOS update. There is a sample privacy policy you can copy and paste at JenSense Blog. All you have to do is search and replace with your domain name.
