    '


    MFA can be self defined, there is no authorative org that has defined MFA

    go argue about the definition of other informal abbrevations

    it can be interpreted in a variety of ways

    who are you to say ur definition is correct.

    Why to argue on MFA definition?

    Just develop your site/template and post it here for review.

    What do you think ;)

    At some point, common usage defines it and it has a de facto definition. What's the point of defining a banana to yourself as a grapefruit and then starting a discussion about bananas? Yes, I know the fruits have been defined "officially" but the end result is the same thing :) If the bulk of the people here see MFA as one thing and you see it as something different, then a translation problem is going to derail the discussion. Besides, MFA, standing for Made For Adsense, can hardly be defined as a template, especially when modifying it.

    In a year the SERPs will be nothing but Amazon affiliates, Ad farms,parked sites, and Wiki clones and spam.

    yes, because lyrics sites are a blantant copyright violation, all of the content is stolen from the songwriters, none of it is original.

    the fact that i occasionally use lyrics sites does not make them legit, in my eyes.

    not relevant.

    if it has high quality, original content that drives a lot of natural traffic, it's probably not an mfa.

    How is it given that you won't make the typical MFA template? You're telling me this like I have some standard of you. I've never heard of you, or any of your sites in my life. I probably never will. You're insignificant, and to tell me that I should expect some sort of standard from you is like me telling you that "you obviously know that my proxies are of top quality". You've never even heard of one of my proxies. You can't set a standard to something unknown.

    And I agree with an above post. Make your template, and post it up for review. We'll tell you if its MFA.

    i dont think an MFA site is spam if you provide good content with the futher goal of making money with adsense, especially if your information comes from a reputable source.....but ive learned my lesson..MFA doesnt get enough traffic..im making a quality site and will take my MFA sites down soon.

    in counter, how is it given i will make a typical spammy MFA.

    many million dollar companies were created as MFAs and slowly grew and then business models change along the way.

    this mentality however only applies to sites with real business ethic and goals

    Good answer! :)

    What sort of CTR are you seeing from that template?

    Not sure really, don't have enough traffic to give you an accurate figure.

    www.PopularScreensaver.info gets about 20%, I think this would get similar, roughly 20%.

    If the traffic is from search engine the CTR would increase further.

    If you have a 20% CTR Google will ban you for sure.

    This is not true. Some niche's just have a naturally high CTR.

    I have niches which return a 40% CTR, even though the same layout in other niches returns a CTR of 3%.

    I have a niche that is 50-60% ctr, been like that for two years since I created the site. I never had a problem with google's adsense.

    You don't understand AdSense, do you? The clicks are natural and constant, and I'm not breaking the AdSense Program Policy so I won't be banned.

    Read the Google TOS. Highlight the paragraph which confirms your moronic statement, and send me a PM. If you succeed, I'll give you a $1,000 right away. High CTR benefits Google as much as anyone, as long as it is legit. Who do you think gets a share of the millions of clicks in every possible niche, daily?

    Actually, Google banned MFA sites that were used in arbitrage, you use a stand alone MFA, and no traffic from Google (Adwords), then all would be fine.
    Google is against arbitrage since they offer no value to google or advertiser, MFA sites offers value to advertisers too.
    Think abt it mate...

    Yes, do think about it. You're a lot more likely to be violating TOS/Policies if you create an MFA (mainly because a lot of the MFA creators don't even know the Terms exist) and publishers are starting to get ticked at seeing them being advertised on their sites and are reporting them.

    Well, actually I guess to show up on a site they would be using Adwords...but then traffic becomes a problem so some sort of advertising is going to be necessary. I mean, how much traffic can you get from something that is the 934th incarnation of some DUI site? The above should serve as a warning to the crappy MFA arbitrageurs. Legit arbitrage is still not frowned upon by Google, but a good percentage of the arbitrage being done is not legit.
