    Am I ok to have adsense on www.adsensesecret.info?
    I saw on a thread here earlier that it was against the TOS, but I'm not sure.
    So is it or not?

    Thanks

    This one has been batted around so many times it's not funny...and still half of us are going to say yes and half of us are going to say no lol...best to ask the G directly on this one. Please post their response if you get one, might help clear this trademark issue up.

    I can tell your right now it is a violation of terms of service. You cannot use the Google Adsense name directly or indirectly on any of your web pages, domain name, etc. This can get you banned with no chance of appeal, also into some lawsuit trouble as well.

    The simplest reason AdSense can think of for banning you is "drawing attention on the ads" (even via the domain name, because I can register myself a domain clickmyadsenseads.com and it may generate good CTR ;) ).

    Got an email back from them today. They basically said that I wasn't allowed to place any Adsense Ads on the site, as the domain was using 'Adsense' in it.
    Luckily I have other ways that I can earn from it so i'm not too upset by their desicion. As far as i'm aware the domain isn't a problem with them, as I mentioned it a few times in the email.

    Yes, but that person kept the ads on their site, I took them down straight after getting the email. Cheers for the link, it was a good read.
