Strong "hints" that one should click on ads

    I was just viewing a rather popular site with some text that went something like this...

    If you want to trade is stock futures, you should choose one of the following services:
    {adsense code here}
    You'll probably want to start out with a practice account using sophisticated trading tools:
    {adsense code here}
    Then you can move on to more advanced trading with real money.

    Sounds against the the TOS to me. What do you think?

    lolz. Can't say about each terminology mentioned, but i also think its against the TOS. I think google needs to put more words in their filter or manual human inspector.

    It's clearly against the TOS... however Google tends to apply rules differently to standard accounts vs their premium advertisers who bring in the big bucks.

    The best advice is to not worry about what other people are doing and focus on what you are doing. The World is not only fair its a cesspool of douche bags. Do the best you can and let the other sh)) go otherwise you just make yourself more unhappy.

    A lot of these people do get caught eventually and lose all their money to Google, who claims to return it to the Advertisers... yeah right.
