Is this allowed!!??

My friend showed me this site, the name isnt really nice so I will make it a tinyurl.

This is a very sneaky way to make money from the downloads!!

And I was wondering if its allowed

It says "warning, you need firefox to watch this video!" and right below that is an firefox+google adsense

And also just to add, i have firefox and tried to view the video and it still dosent play!

 

Violation of TOS.

 

report it to Google

 

Google states that you can't entice people to click your ads. That is exactly what they are doing...

 

Against adsense TOS

 

Firefox is a referral not an ad. Your allowed to give a review for your referrals

 

yeah i guess its allowable.

 

I think it's against the TOS ..

 

I think it is against the google TOS, no doubt. because it is misleading by saying "You Need Firefox." Once google becomes aware of this non abiding site. Google will send the owner of this website a warning if this is his first time doing such time. the second time, boom. his adsense account will be gone.

 

Yup this is against TOS. They clearly state that you wil not mislead people to click on the ads .

 

Against TOS

 

It would depend entirely on the content of the video.

I'm not going to click on play. I noticed that there's a link to the "2 girls 1 cup" video so I'm guessing it's pretty damn disgusting.

 

This is the problem not the video "warning, you need firefox to watch this video!"

 

I think its against their terms... ask him to remove that before google catches him...... Save a publisher
