Is this violation?

Hey guy,

While I was surfing the web, I found an adsense ad which was very interesting:

Free Dedicated Server

I knew that was too good to be true and sound like a big scam but I was wondering why a person whould pay Google Adwords to advertise for such thing, so I clicked and I was forwarded to this page: http://tipace.com/a/Dedicated Hosting

what do you think of it?

There is no content and two adsense ad blocks.

It sounds like a nasty violation to me.

 

These are the sites which are causing people to seek AdSense blockers. IMHO it is a moral violation of AdSense. Though it may not be a technical one as the page bottom does include some "content":

Of course, there are no links into other pages from these statements.That is, I believe, a violation of AdSense TOS.

 

I would say that this site is created only for Adsense clicks. They are trying to take a technical route around it by having a few working links in center and what look to be article links at bottom that do not work. Also since dedicated hosting ads pay well per click on average they advertised on Adwords for this reason. I hate these people and their sites.

 

the landing page (tipace.com) appears to be nothing other than "Welcome to tipace.com" and no links going inside... I know there's no adsense there, but is this allowed for a site using adsense on "internal pages"?

 

I would say no since the home page is nothing. They are obviously using this to defraud adsense.

hope they check their logs and come here.

 

I just reported Google about these scammers. I hope they close their adsense account soon.

 

WTG. I hate these types of sites. I reported 3 sites that were similar yesterday. It is sites like these that make it hard for the honest adsense pubs to be taken seriously.

 

Hi there,
Just was fooled into clicking an ad (for the google toolbar). which forwarded me to tipace.com
So seems that G$$gle doesnt care much about these sites.

Site needs more content, it is only showing ads.

 

WOW.. if that is not in violation, as it sits? It sure should be.

I wonder how sites like that are able to even get a Google account validated.

Must have those ad's piggy backed on a separate ad channel that originated with a site that has or had more content on it.. the way that site there is set up now looks link nothing more than an ad landing page..

Should try to build the page up with some content and sub pages before ever thinking about adding the ad's... funny.. what adsense can do to peoples way of thinking..

Isn't it against the TOS to have ad's on a page that is under construction? That page there has not even entered the construction phase. Just now breaking ground would be more like it.
