    Can You take wikepidia test and use with Adsense.

    Copy from wiki and put Adsense on that page? Or is it copyrighted or Adsense does not like it?

    It's OK by Wikipedia as long as you release your work under the GFDL.

    You can use Wikipedia articles where ever so long as you maintain the license.

    So if you copy Wikipedia article X to your website you can't get mad when someone copies Article X from your website, plus anything you added only on your website that is now a part of article X (unless you specifically separate it from your additional content. I.E., in quotes and sourced to wikipidia). Everything about article X that you copied has to stay under the same license. If you add things to article X, what you add is now under that license (which can be copied freely).

    Also, just copying Wikipedia articles will make your site useless in Google's eyes.

    As far as AdSense. I think the only thing in their TOS that relates to this is copyright violations, which clearly is not an issue with copying wikipedia articles (if you do it the legal way). But, they have arbitrary power to ban whoever they want, pretty much, since it is their network. So, "who knows for sure" might be a better answer.

    Google hates duplicated (copy-paste) content so bid on your site will be low.

    We've already got the content on wikipedia...there's no point duplicating it just because you're too lazy to come up with your own content....Geez!

    Maybe his intention is to just put up a "Mini-site". Since a website that has no content in it does not qualify for Adsense, it is a natural desire for anyone wanting to experience immediate "click revenue" from Adsense to find "content" out there as quick as possible.

    Guys, guys, this is a forum discussion on "how to make money". This is not a discussion on how to enhance the growth of human knowledge. So let's not presume we don't have any idea what this guy is up to, ripping-off wikipedia content (pardon the pun). :D

    Well anyway, I think what the other guys are saying is that they are consuming blood, sweat, and tears, trying to produce "original" content. So they feel it's unfair that you are just ripping off wikipedia. You have to spend 12 sleepless days too, writing your own content, just like everybody else. Which I believe, doesn't answer your original question actually. :D

    Rip off Wiki...you probably won't get much traffic from it. Good luck though :) Why don't you just rewrite the content?
