Selling scripts and including your Adsense

    Hi folks,

    I've seen some people who sell scripts and include their Google Adsense snippet along with the script in the hope that the purchaser will leave it there.

    What do you think of this? I was thinking of doing it but am concerned that it could end up in the wrong hands - if I didn't keep track of every website someone could go outside the Adsense TOS and have my account banned as a result.

    What do you think?

    Not sure it would be allowed, you could probably include affiliate links though.

    Definitely wouldn't advise that, because then it would be out of your hands what the person uses it for... aka hundreds of different ways you could violate the Adsense TOS.

    i dont suggest you to use those scripts. making your own web site is a better option

    Maybe referrals buttons or referrals text links could be safe in this way?

    Agreed. I thought it was a bad idea from the start. It's not worth the risks and it makes scripts less valuable if it comes with 'conditions of usage'. I've decided not to distribute my Google Ads :)

    i wouldn't do that. there is a chance that it would land up on the wrong hand. even if i did that i would inform google.
