Am I allowed to write something like "mysite.com is funded by ads" below an adsense banner for example? I've seen it done on www.linuxmint.com/forum but want to make sure it complies with adsense TOS.. thanks
Thats what I thought, but since a big site like them has it I asked here. Just cause someone does something doesnt mean its right. thanks!
I would advise against this as it may be suggesting that your site is kept alive by the ad revenue and so hinting mildly at visitors to click, trying to influence them.
Use the Google referral text link ad that says, "This site monetized by Google AdSense". That's sort of the same thing but ok to do.
