Is this site against TOS for Google adsense ?

Hey all,

Just a quick question. I followed a link from one of my twitter followers as I sometimes do, to see what others are up to, and maybe learn something new and saw they set up their site like this : link to their site

Is this compliant with Adsense TOS ?

It seems kind of border line to me.

Just curious. Thanks.

I'm with you. When in doubt, don't do it.. and that looks too borderline.

It's not border line, it's called keyword stuffing!

The page has zero content.

Good luck with that.

Maybe it's time to do some housekeeping on who you follow...

That site seems to have some kind of search script running in the background.
It may fly under the radar, but it sure is a stupid way to use adsense.

I think there is some catch-all TOS of adsense that refers to "stupidity."

Yeah, that's spam. Not borderline - but outright spam. If AdSense see it (and they apparently do carry out manual inspections from time to time), their account is gone. IMO.
