http://bloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-blogexplosion-can-explode-traffic.html I have a feeling that the above suggestion is against TOS. Can you all experts comment please?
What "above suggestion' are you talking about? The "If you find this blog helpful, please support this site by linking to it." text? He's asking people to link to his blog; what's so wrong with that? It has nothing to do with his ads. By the way, guys, it helps to come out and TELL us what it is you think the violation is. We're not here to go "violation hunting" with you, okay? Just point it out.
I think he is probably suggesting the method of generating traffic mentioned there is probably against TOS, I could be wrong though.
Still cant really see an "issue". Blogexplosion is a pretty established outfit. Its aimed at getting bloggers traffic/links from other bloggers. He isnt suggesting, or asking for, any iliicit practice. Perhaps the OP can explain what he felt the problem was.
OK - following is what I thought against the TOS of AdSense: "You can get more traffic to your blog via BlogExplosion in different ways. For every two blogs you visit via BlogExplosion, another will visit your blog. So the more you surf, the more visitors will visit your site. Remember to add a visitors counter to your blog so that you can see the visitors coming in." Isn't the above artificial traffic and impressions? I could be wrong - just wanted to be sure.
Blog Explosion is not an auto-surf, it is manual surf (and btw it has many other blog-related features). However I'm not sure if this is allowed by AdSense and I'm using BlogExplosion only on my ads-free blogs.
