    Hello

    I have seen links on this forum for PHP scripts claiming to generate pages from RSS feeds to add content to websites thus increasing the performance of that website and the amount of revenue generated via ad programs like google adsense and other contextual ad programs.

    I am interested in the idea of adding this to a blog I am creating but am a little concerned that it would go against googles tos and meaning my account will be banned.

    My blog will have content created by myself as it wil be a educational blog giving advice on a subject which I am good at. The auto generated pages would only serve to help add content and information to my new blog.

    Thanks
    :)

    Auto generated content is not prohibited from using AdSense ... After all Google itself can be considered auto-generated content. They just scrape the web and serve it up to users, right?

    The real question is why are you doing this? If you are doing it strictly to get page hits from search engines and get hits on AdSense, then, yes it is prohibited. If you are doing this because it is something turely useful for your users then it is fine.

    From your quote "The auto generated pages would only serve to help add content and information to my new blog.", it sounds like you are doing it just for the SE traffic, so it sounds like a bad thing.
