    Hello ,
    i just want to make sure if adsense does not ban people who use adsense for url shortener .. i mean running a website like http://demo.phpfaber.com/urlinn/ and monitizing it with google adsense in the redirection page...
    cause i heared many people said that adsense will ban people who does this ..
    so if i want to Short direct link to download free stuff(for example joomla,wordpress,and drupal templates that i designed) and i mean using my own url shortener like the example you see above .. it will be ok or i'm doing something wrong ?
    Thanks in advance.

    hm..I don't think they do...

    actually, I'm pretty sure they don't.
    the reason why I think this is because you don't have control over the websites that shorten their URL (i.e. a warez website shortens their url using your short URL service). It would still display the Google ad on the link that redirects to the forbidden content.
