    On the Google referral program, do your text link referrals have to be revelant to you site content? Is it a violation if it is not?

    hmmm...maybe I have not worded this question very well or people are sick of answering the same questions or nobody has an answer on this one yet. I read through the TOS and it still seems unclear for Google Referrals if they have to be relevant to your site....for now I'm only using relevant related refferal links but would like to include others if I was sure Google is ok with it.

    No, u can throw whatever referral you want on your site even if it doesn't match your content

    MBFootball is correct. It is not a violation of the TOS to throw a referral about Computer-Repair on your website about Banana-Peels. Just dont expect anyone to sign-up..
    I'm not really sure why you would even try. It would seem a much better use of space to find a referral that IS relevant.

    Thanks MBFootball and Tearabite.....Yes it does make sense to keep it relevent but just wanted to rotate a few different kind of referral links in one unit block......just in case some of my visitors have a few other interests....;)

    Google does not have any problem with that.
