good day sir, i just want to ask... like in other online dating site, there personal profile i mean each word has a link for example Hobbies: Basketball, Volleyball, Racing each of the tag they replace it with a link, my question is that, i add an adsense search box and i get the link http://www.google.com/custom?q=Basketball&sa=Search&client=pub-XXXX..... and so on is this against the rules of google? i mean the user wont need to write on the textfield but to click some of the tags and automatically, it open another window and search all about Basketball.. thanks.. sorry for my bad english. =)
I don't think it is against any TOS, actually I think they will be very happy because you are bringing them visitors. Wouldn't you like people link to your site? read the posts below
from Google AdSense Program Policies: I think what you are describing is altering the code in a significant way. If you want to have links that people can click use the link units, you are now allowed 3 per page.
oh I'm sorry, I thought you only wanted to link to google search results like this http://www.google.com/search?q=basketball Code (markup): but if you want to link to search results with your pub-id ofcourse it is against TOS Please forgive me, I was to quick on my Reply button
Yes as the others said, it is very against the TOS. My advice is to read the TOS. Most time when these types of threads are started it, the person already knows it is against the rules. Read through the whole TOS and use the help section in Google. You cannot change or alter any links, they have to be the code that Google provides. You cannot mislead or hide what the person is clicking on. You cannot have more than three link units on a page. The list goes on and on of how you would violate the TOS.
thank you very much for the reply... i think i will not do it anymore... to protecting myself to be ban on adsense. hehehe... thanks for the reply.. it really help. =)
