hi frds... I am new to adsense...I started to use adsense on blogs that are from free source like blogger... I have a question.... We find many redirecting free urls now like tinyurl ...etc..which cuts a long url into short thing... So ,can an adsense publisher use tinyurl or some thing similar to redirect to his site...Would google consider this legal or just think that this is some fraudulent activity....please reply me..I am waiting for your responses...bcoz i already used some thing like that...wont it get my account banned??? plz reply
How about asking the Google India team - http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/04/spicier-support-for-india.html
Webpages containing AdSense code may not be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings, or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code. This is one of the TOS.... doest it mean equally to what i said??
tinyurl -> to your website: this is perfectly fine. As long as you do not use such tinyurls to generate automated traffic!
Well, it better to write a mail to Google itself and ask... cause they would be able to explain it better and to its point...
