    Nuff said,

    If I have premium content on my site that is restricted by a Zango gateway, will adsense dislike that?

    Zango gateways require the user to accept certain terms and download software before proceeding into the premium part of the website.

    How about if you explained exactly HOW Zango is "stealing affiliate commissions" from webmasters? Do it now, because i'm curious.

    :)

    ZANGO ARE THEIVES
    ZANGO ARE THEIVES
    ZANGO ARE THEIVES
    ZANGO ARE THEIVES
    ZANGO ARE THEIVES

    They install sh*t on pc's which replaces affiliate links with whatever they want !!!!! Their own refcode or refcode from people who bought traffic from them.
    Clever in a way but what a scam !

    If you are using them, you're shooting yourself in the foot !

    riftshighway,

    I've combined zango and adsense on the same website and never had a problem. And yes, I had the adsense blocks on my premiun content restricted by a Zango gateway. Again, I never had a problem.

    I've also read through the Adsense TOS and have not found anything that lead me to believe Adsense and Zango cannot coexist on the same page.

    Now, I don't mix them anymore, but that is because I found that for my niches Adsense just wasn't doing the job

    So you conveniently ignore the other link that isn't wikipedia.

    If you really wanted to know yourself you'd search for it, but it seems you've already made up your mind and won't hear anything that may tell you otherwise.

    If Zango is adware and adware removal softwares start removing it from people's computers then would it not be a never ending money maker for webmasters? When people come across another site with Zango advertising, they might install it again only to have it removed by their adware removal software once more; and the cycle continues! I wouldn't put it on my computer but most people have no clue about how computers and the Internet works and they could fall victim more than once.

    Nope, when it's removed from the computer (or supposed to be), the toolbar is only removed in part, the part that creates pop ups and ad's is removed, however there still are remains even after - that's after the add/remove programs function is used.

    As for software and adware removal tools, I guess it really depends on the software used.

    Zango is smarter than that though, they create cookies and the likes for tracking the infected computer, just for this instance, if a computer is infected again with the tool bar - then they'd like to "not" pay again for the install.

    But yeah, if software is used to remove the toolbar - you may be correct.
    If add/remove program is used to remove toolbar - then the install probably wont count.
