New Adsense Requirement... IQ Test

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by cujo, Jun 23, 2010.

    I just heard a rumor through the grapevine that Google is requiring all new and existing Adsense Publishers to take an IQ test... the results of which will be used to determine your eligibility or continuing usage of the Adsense program.

    I also heard a rumor they are cracking down on crappy sites, spammers, etc.

    Hahahah. I wish they did but I doubt it, otherwise they'd lose quite a large chunk of their customers I imagine! But it would be nice to see the thing used intelligently.

    Yes this is true mate.
    A friend of mine tried to register today and he had to do an IQ Test it wasn't hard he passed it he said it was pretty easy actualy.
    After that they send him an e-mail that he has to send a urine and blood sample to test him for any drugs in the last 45 days and for any Diseases.

    Seriosly where did you hear this bullshit ?

    I don't think Google will take such steps as it will result in loosing a lot of publishers.

    Sound like a joke
