Can I setup a page with ONLY the Adsense referral link?

    I'm communicating with lots of people and the majority of them don't have Adsense but would like to sign up. Now what I want to do is get them to signup through my affiliate link obviously, but these people... well, I don't want them visiting my websites. So a question, can I setup a page with only the Adsense affiliate button?

    Thanks for your time :)

    I don't think you would be allowed to.

    That's what I thought too, but I thought I'd ask here first... :p

    Ah well, will just get one of those free articles about Adsense from Ezine and add some content...

    I think you CAN. I don't think you'll have any problems with G.
    Anyway you can copy/paste some info from the AdSense Help center https://www.google.com/adsense/support/?sourceid=aso&subid=ww-ww-et-asui&medium=link and put the ref. link. This should work.

    You are not allowed to..
    Adsense codes cannot be placed in a page with no or low content.
    So, you must add some content and then add your referral link there.

    I think this is a bit of a grey area when it comes to referrals.

    I remember reading the TOS (I've been searching but I can't seem to find it again) where Google actively encouraged you to bring attention to some referrals.

    This is especially true for Firefox. I run a dedicated Firefox page which pays out just fine. I got the idea from another thread here on DP, and I've seen lots of similar pages.

    My advice in these cases is always to ask Google directly.

    One thing I would suggest would be to break down that large block of text into a few paragraphs. It's difficult to read as it is. Just a personal opinion...:)
