Web host breaking the TOS ! Google doesn't care?

Big budget? Well, i do but for most people it's around $50 - $500 per week. If this host displays adsense on a few sites related to your theme, you're gonna get sucked your cash in a few hours only...what happens if it's while you sleep...or making love?

Any way, i'm out of this thread. Getting a weird feeling that i'm having to justify myself here, bleh!

 

I just want to know if its ok so I can do it on my sites ....

 

No You Can't Goddamit!!!

 

not the center pop up, the sliding div that comes from the top

that looks kind of all right

 

I don't get it, if they reported that site weeks ago and it's still going, then it must be ok to use this technique. I mean this person discovered a neat way to make adsense ads stick out a bit more and hopefully make some more money. Why try to smother someone innovating and thinking up new techniques that are obviously working and are not against TOS. Maybe the ads sliding into the center are one thing but for sure they're not a popup and Google not acting on this account does tell us something ... they're like an animated ad not a popup. It's a new type thing or technique someone thought up. Popups are one thing this is another. We know popups are against the TOS but this seems more of a legit ad that falls into place on the website and becomes part of it.

 

I nearly clicked an ad just trying to move it out of the way, it was obsuring a link on the website behind it. I can see an extremely high CTR generated with that technique....would be tempted to use it if it wasn't against TOS, seems like a grey area that one.

 

I wonder if it didn't drop the ad on links and in a clear spot on the page if it would be 100%+ legit. I bet this falls under google editor opinion and can go either way. I'm going to pay VERY close attention to this one!

 

Yeah the only thing that i see that could be problematic is the fact that the moving adsense ad falls on top of some words and a link. But if it did move into its own empty space where ansense box should be then like the poster above said this has to be 100% legit.

The best thing we can do is contact the site owner and tell him to try it out by having the same technique but having the final placemnt of the moving ad to fall into an empty ad spot instead of on top words and a link.

wow this guy is genius if you think about.

As a matter of fact this is even better then the idea that everyone here uses of having images above the ads which seems to work very well.
Im sure google will aprove this technique just like they did the images.

 

Google usually waits until close to the end of a month before they disable accounts. They also may observe and get more data about the people behind it. - Nothing to worry.

 

I am surprised that some adsense publishers here think/hope that tehnique is within TOS.

 

Yeah I have to say I am surprised anyone would want to implement it as a popup style layer..

I can understand why someone would want to have their ads slide into their normal fixed position in a layer to help reduce ad blindness.. Then again I wouldn't want it on my site, I think that kinda flying page parts can look very gimicky myself.

 

Its against the TOS

I once asked them about some fixed ad placement:

You are allowed to play, but you cannot cover site texts by ads...

 

I'm sure they will. Why don't you try it!
