"Please support..." against TOS?

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering, is it against YPN TOS to put something like "Please support -website-" under ad?

    The rule relating to this says: The Ad Page must not actively encourage users to click on Ad Units - does this mean nothing like this can be done or nothing too excesive like making users or paying them.


    Thanks,
    Chris

    I believe you would be violating the TOS by doing this.

    They do not allow this either. It is encouraging people who might have absolutely no interest in a company to click on that ad just to support your site. This is effect fraud and stealing from another business. If I were you I would not do this. Why take a chance that you will be terminated from the program.
