Question about wording on adsense pages

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by sanjayc, Jul 20, 2006.

    I have google ads on my page and I am thinking of putting text links to other sites that in turn will put a link to my site on their pages. What I need to know is can I say something like 'please help support our site by visiting our sponsors below' or will this get me kicked by Google?

    Example below.

    ps excuse my dodgy mspaint efforts.

    Cheers

    Are you trying to label Google ads with the text "please help support our site by visiting our sponsors below" ? It's a NO. Use "sponsors" or "advertisers" as a caption, only. Do not label them with inciting words.

    As for rest of the non-google sponsors, I'd say be careful when you label those ads with such a text. A normal user cannot differentiate between Google ads and other ads (with the same color/background) and it is a potential violation.

    Yeah, I think it'd be best not to do that.

    Definitely NO. Don't do that. It will violate Google Adsense's Terms. You'll got banned if someone makes a complaint or someone at Google check your site ;)

    yes it is better to leave the ads as it is and don't label it with misleading statements.

    No, you cannot. It will be deemed as attracting attention to your ads.
