    Hello,

    Yesterday I've got an email from Adsense says that they disable ads on my site because of this page http://downloadsoftwarez.net/download-lego-star-wars/
    It has a download link from download.cnet.com for the demo version of the game , and I've removed it and send an appeal. however can anyone tell me what's wrong with this page and does cnet.com is against Google TOS and can't link to download link ?

    my site have many download link point to cnet because the software/game publisher on there main site they put only a download link from cnet.

    Thanks in advance,

    It may be an infringment of copyright, EULA or some other form. Study Googles TOS for Adsense, it may shed light for you.

    Don't know, I don't see that you've framed a page from someone else site. So maybe it's about links to CNET, because you display the direct links, maybe you should point to the cnet page and then they could be ok.

    I think you should link to the PAGE of cnet, not to the file hosted on cnet.

    I don't know maybe they "think" you're making people download cracked software when you're not.
    Also what about the description text, I know they're not talking about that, but I think you don't write it yourself you copy it from somewhere else, am I wrong?

    As for the download link well maybe always add to the text link that it is trial version, demo version, freeware version, etc.

    Hi James,

    Well first I want to thank you for helping me. Today I emailed them and they answered and said I should add license just like
    you said trial/demo etc . I'm doing that right now and also I've bought new domain and working on it . after finish all the work I will email them and tell you the response.
