    I am currently looking for sites in Adbrite to advertise on and I came accrossed a site that has hardly no content on and has Adbrite ads, YPN ads and also an Adsense ad.

    It is clearly a site full of ads and is breaking the Adsense and YPN TOS.

    The site is: http://www.tagmehotornot.com/index.php?id=114601

    Well, I will not be advertising here!!!

    The picture qualifies as content, but the ads are against TOS.

    BTW Wrong forum.

    It's definitely against the AdSense and YPN terms of service.

    I don't like the look of her head. Change the head and see will look much better hopefully.

    Also, I thought that this would have been the right forum to post it in as it is to do with Adsense and this is an adsense forum.

    OK!

    Yes it has got some content, but this is a sort of site where they are using practically nearly as many ads as content. In other words the ads cover just as much space as the content. Sites like this will not really do all that well as people are more likely to just click of them.

    Also it is breaking Adsense's and YPN's TOS because Adsense and YPN are both competitors and in Adsense TOS you are not allowed to put Adsense ads on the same page as similar and competing ad networks ads like YPN.


    Yeah, right, I believe you. lol

    THe page may also be considered to have excessive advertising, which is also against TOS

    Pull your tongue in Guys! If you really looked at the ads (not the girls) you'd see both google and yahoo ads on the same exact page. I'd post the url, but I see session id's. Look again!

    Yes this is totally breaking tos.

    Check the home page for ads from both google and yahoo

    It is breaking the TOS because using Adsense and YPN on the same page plus they are most probably using Abrite's network ads thing, which is also not allowed.

    They also have to much advertising on the page, which comes under excessive advertising as mentioned above.

    With a page like that I know I wouldn't stay there. That is most probably why they have all these women that are nearly naked is just so that they can try and keep some people on their site for a longer period.

    My guess is that it wouldn't really matter how many text ads he had on the site, his CTR is in the floor. Pic sites like this, where no one gives a hoot about clicking on anything but seeing the next pic, can only survive on CPM banners. That's probably the reason why he kept adding more and more and even more text ads to the pages. The dummy still hasn't figured out yet that his money lies in CPM banners so he can capitalize on the impressions.

    You can use AdBrite and AdSense together as AdBrite is not "contextual" I thought? I've had Google check my sites before and they had no issue with it at all. Not trying to defend the guy as I could care less what each and every one of you do with your own stuff, I figure I'd rather let Google be the judge of such things. He'd def make more money with less ads and/or a better layout. Forget how against the TOS it is, that site is plain ugly.

    I am sure you couldn't use the Adbrite run of network ads with Adsense, but if you don't use the Adbrite run of network ads, but use the other options then I think you can use it. I am not 100% sure on this though and I have never really used Adbrite.

    If you can use the run of network ads with Adsense then please let me know as I may then look into using them or trying them out on one or two parts of my site.

    Title of your thread is a little to excessive. There isn't nothink so special, except of using more than one contextual advertising programms.

    I would say that it is breaking the TOS from using more than one contextual ad network and using excessive advertising on each page which is also breaking the TOS.
