Nasty way to get clicks on adsense http://www.abstractdirectory.org

Enter and see http://www.abstractdirectory.org

No links onli a adsense text unit

i hate this kind of people

 

I took a look but don't understand what is the problem.

 

Yea, I dont get whats wrong here, just has ads on site.

 

At first I didn't see it either, I think though he means that the adsense in the navbar is a bit deceptive.

But, if they are violating it, why not report the site to Google and leave it at that. Isn't this just free advertising for them?

 

I don't see what's wrong with it - I put adsense on my directory because it makes it look less empty.

 

I think, OP could not find submit button.. Its at the footer.

 

I personally think that the adsense will not help him to earn any money.

 

slaspix you are wright i didn't see the submit button and i thout it's a scam

Sory for this confusion

 

Adding some links and content would be good for this directory.

 

pretty sure its against adsense TOS to place adsense ads in confusing spots such as in menus like this

 

I don't think google would have a problem since it clearly says Ads by Google

 

Yeah, i believe it does not violate any of the Google AdSense TOS, so the ads should be fine. Even tho its a nice trick to be honest...i just wonder whats his PPC rate lol.

 

It is a bit deceptive but nothing compared to most scammers out there. I would say that is a super mild case.

It does not appear there are any links in this directory, perhaps the owner is waiting to get PR before opening it up?

 

I think it is okay. There are worse kind of "deception" than this. I have seen submit button hidden among ads.

 

I didnt see any problems. the submit is in the footer and it clearly says Ads By Google in bold.

/me shrugs.

 

There is no violation in Google's eyes, they support the idea of blending in the ads with your sites look and feel. As long as the 'Ads by' bit isnt being hidden there is no violation.

jg123 and dvduval, the site does have links, did you try a search for something simple like 'a' or 'b'?

The site just looks new to me with low PR so hasn't had that many submits.

 

Personally, I have clicked on an Adsense link that said submit before. Putting your Adsense where the menu bar is expected to be can definately lead to inadvertant links.

 

only on the footer is adsense link

 

intresting way , if not pointed out , would have definitely clicked the LU

 

Lolz... i dont see any Ads by Google since my ISP has disable Javascript so it wont show any .... by the way the way i see it, its just a simple directory and no problem with it i guess!!!
