Hi guys, I signed up to adsense a while ago. But was declined because my website http://www.adwordaffiliate.co.uk breaches the TOS by having a google copyrighted term in the URL, this being "adword." However, over the past few months I have seen many many other sites out there that also have the adsense or adword in the title yet they are plastered with Adsense for content all over them i.e. adsenseguide.info Just wondering, how the hell do those sites get away with breaching the TOS and not getting caught? Anyway, would appreciate it if anyone has come across this before Cheers Stu
Many people create a "clean" website just to get their adsense approved fast and then they can spread their code everywhere... for example creating a blog in blogger.com is one of the fastest way to have your adsense cleared. imho this is not a fault of the "guilty" webmasters, its a fault of google itself that should have more strict policies regarding websites admissions, and should ask for authorization for every site in which adsense is used.
What do you mean actually? There is no TOS violation in what I said. Building junk websites just to make money with adsense, yes this maybe a tos violation depending on how it's done, but mainly it's a disadvantage for the overall quality of the net
Google has been cracking down on trademark violations lately. People who have Google trademarked word in their domain are being asked to remove AdSense from them. I blogged about this here: http://www.admoolah.com/blog/index.php/2005/12/google-cracking-down-on-trademark-use/
Hey, adwordaffiliate, Google has trolls on this board, so I'd be very, VERY cautious about spreading around that you got one over them, if you know what I mean.
"Hi guys, I signed up to adsense a while ago.

You have Adsense ads on adwordaffiliate.co.uk. You said it yourself that it was against their TOS, so you applied using another site, then slap Adsense on the site that they had already said No to you. But whatever. It's your account.
I'm glad Google has people "trolling" this forum -- it helps them create a better product to help both advertisers and content creators, and it also helps them keep the made-for-adsense site creators poor
You seem to be incapable of reading, I said the domain name was against TOS. They asked me to change the domain name to something that didn't have Adword in it in order to utilise Adsense. Adwordaffiliate has no Adsense on it.
