    Crazy Rob, in this thread, mentions an aptitude test for new Adsense publishers.

    I think it's a great idea. What about you?

    Nice article full of good sense.

    Imagine, just after Google implement this adsense licence.... yep a $99 e-book "How to pass the Google test" :) and our email box filled with spam selling that e-book for $39.99 only

    I agree with the last post. You'd just have people selling a book on how to pass it. Its a helluva lot easier for google to just find them after the fact than to scrutinize every new person who comes in.

    After all, google just doubled its work. So you get into adsense. Does it mean your clicks are no longer monitored for odd patterns? Or if you are doing shady things? Of course not.
