    www.searchdragon.org is a website that allows you to win prizes will you use the google search box. It seems to be that they don't have a special contract with Google so just normal adsense publishers like us (or at least like me :D ).
    My question is is this allowed if it's allowed i think of building something like this on my own but i'm afraid it isn't.

    No Im pretty sure offering anything in return for a click or search is against TOS.

    Thats why I thought it was weird when all the adsense manual traffic exchanges came out which are giving people credits for cliking on peoples adsense ads. :confused:

    I haven't actaully seen site, but it sounds there not rewarding for clicks (which gets $$) but for searches, hoping ppl will click. That could be allowed..

    wow Jacob, talk about breaking the TOS. . . your top 3 websites in your signature all say "To start, select which kind of proxy you want from below" and there are just mainly Google Ads below.
