Hi , i run a joomla blog , and for every incoming Keyword-phrase i create a weblink wich is an adsense for search page. for example user searches for "$keywords" i create a link like this "http://www.mydomain.com/?option=com_googlesearch_cse&n=30&Itemid=&cx=partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxx:2qf1bt-3lj8&cof=FORID:10&ie=UTF-8&q=$keywords&sa=Search&hl=en" In adsense policy is says "AdSense for search: A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed per page. Also, a single link unit or a search box, but no other Google ads, may be placed on pages with AdSense for search results. Queries must originate from users inputting data directly into the search box and cannot be modified. This includes pre-populating the search box with terms or hard-coding direct links to search results pages. AdSense for search code may not be integrated into any software application such as a toolbar." is that against adsense policy? user has to click on the link that has the same text as the search term and it is clear that this is a page with search terms. thanks
It's pre-populated and does not require user to type in their search, thus not allowed and you will evetually be banned if implementing this. Also, if you need to ask, it's probably not allowed. You already feel for yourself it's a shady practice and feel the need to ask about it. Adsense will not ask, but will ban you right away when they find out.
