This site appears just like MFA, but what is baffeling is its buying TONs of traffic through adwords. Alexa rank of 9,172 with just 33 pages indexed and ZERO backlinks. Site is online since...........13 July 06
Sorry but i dont see usefulness of the site. Why do people want to use the site? Sorry for a negative comment but i just don't like sites that are specifically made to fool people. The search is even not matching.. Good job with increasing the traffic.
dont trust alexa rank, I have sites in top 70,000 that gets like 25 uniques a day still top 10,000 though edit - wow! that site is an example of MFA 101
In general this doesn't violate the TOS. And they should get paid. Probably the site can be banned from AdWords IMO, but I am not quite sure about that. If this wouldn't work for them, the wouldn't do that.
Why would it get banned in adwords, thats the least likely thing to happen. Even in adsense they are not violating any major TOS (well except being MFA).
I tought the adsense code could not be placed on a page without content? well his page has no content except the adsense links.... Oo
well we all know it with bitter taste, but adsense has been very lenient on MFA clause in TOS (because that makes them money)
Actually, they have only 3 ad sections, and 1 ad link unit. This is fully TOS compliant apart from the obvious MFA bit...
OMG, they are worse than those Best10Sites, Top4Sites, etc because they don't even link to the content. I mean they grab the results from search engines and then remove the links to the original sites and finally the so-called AdSense-Likes-It-Very-Much contents are created. Although I find Best10Sites, Top4Sites, etc annoying but at least they put the real links on their pages. Sometimes I do get a click or two from these sites.
if google are smart they'll ban there adwords account, doesn't reflect good on the advertiser that there adverts are appearing on this MFA site! I buy alot of adds via adwords and ive just added this url to my exclusion list.. ps. these types of sites makes me want to stop using google for advertising, id prefer to use a proprietary advertising company that selectively chooses there publishers.. Anyway thats my feelings..
