    Am starting a site where users get paid to upload and publish images.Basically its a image hosting site where users will be paid for sharing the links with others.

    Users will be paid in CPM basis(0.25$) and paid via paypal.And adsense will be the primary ads we will be using.

    Just wanted to know if its against the TOS of adsense.

    not against TOS..
    But bro, you will get impressions without actually visiting your site..
    People posts embedded links in other sites.. if you considering those embedded impressions, then it is bad idea...
    You only need to give credits for those impressions on your site...

    Just my thoughts, actually I dont know how impressions of image sites works..
    Can you share some more information?

    I don't think that's technically against the Adsense ToS, but it is high risk:

    - people could upload copyright infringing images

    - your payment structure may encourage people to spam the links

    Both could get your Adsense account disabled.

    I think this is legal in terms of Adsense TOS.
