I think it's legal. This website content 2 ads unit and 1 unit of adlinks. The middle row links is not google adsense..
http://www.acne-uncovered.com I actually bought this domain as a bit of a test, it was only a few dollars & I'd heard so many people saying adsense ready websites never worked, I thought I'd try & see for myself. I only put it up a few days ago, so no traffic as yet. i'd be grateful if you could let me know what you think. My opinoin so far is that it's OK, but if I want it to be taken on by google as a normal site, I'm going to have to do a lot of modifying, & get some fresh original content on there, google are apparently bringing in a new algorythm to drop all duplicated sites like this. Cheers
I think they are just testing little tricks like we all do. This seems to be the actual site... [site quoted]/fullindex.html I think what they are doing breaks Google's TOS because the ad set in the middle that is not Adsense clearly looks like Adsense to the point of being deceptive. I would like to see more URLs. Don't fear the flames See if you can get Vlada to break their "Scum URL" policy JJ
I don't mean to dis' you Kandeman but more popular how? Popular with people who will add them to their blocked URLs in Adwords? Popular with the people who work for search engines and browse DP forums regularly? DP rox, but I don't think that a link to an MFA site is gonna rocket it to number one on Google for its primary keywords or increase its page rank. If anyone knows a resource that identifies and lists MFA pages, let us know. JJ
You're giving them a backlink. Not only that, many dp threads make it to #1 in the serps for the oddest things.
So many sites are MFA with crappy content. Y bother with them. They will never go away. The more we talk about their sites, the more traffic they get and the more money they get.
I agree. I would say that as long as they provide some content, and they dont break the TOS, go for it.
