Hi Guys,

While browsing, I came to this website http://www.retailmenot.com/view/instantcert.com and i'm intrigued on how it was able to highlight the google_color_link with yellow. I viewed the page source but there's nothing in there. I viewed the css file and nothing there too.

Does this comply with adsense TOS?

Does anyone know how it's done?

  • Looks like they might have a special relationship with Google. Publishers with a "special relationship" can do all sorts of things that would be against the terms of service for regular peons.

    • The reason you do not know how they did it is probably for a good reason. However they have done it, I am sure that they want to keep their coding a secret.

      If that isn't the case it is likely they have a deal with google or are going against the TOS and are really good at hiding it.

      Either way, good luck getting to the bottom of it.

      Cheers,

  • retail me or not is a big website and has a special relationship with google to where they can better blend in there ads. I think if you make over 100 a day you will get this offer.

    • Are you sure of this? $100 a day and google gives you an offer? I have been earning that much already since 2007 and I have not received any such offer from google. Or shall I write to them about it?
  • I am almost certain of it. there maybe some exceptions. You must be earning 100/day per website. not combined total. I know that xfactor has those privleges for his big health website. If you have one website that is earning 100/day I would send them an email. Congrats on your success by the way.
  • I see. I thought it's 100/day combined total.

    Thanks for the info.
  • They are "Premium Adsnese Publisher"!

    • I don't think that site is a premium publisher - so don't what they're doing.

      Some wrong info on here - premium publishers are invited by google. As far as I know you can no longer apply to become one.

      Though the number isn't exact, google has said around 20 million hits or more per month "may" qualify a site to be invited as a premium publisher.

  • It's the Adsense API. You can apply if you have volume.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • API is a revenue sharing model for adsense and all you need is 100,000 page views a month to apply. It is confirmed in a google press release that you must have at least 20 million page views a month for the premium publisher account. To my understanding they contact you.

    I could have sworn that Xfactor said he was offered an account and had 100 a day in his website. I guess I was mistaken.

    Retail me or not must have the premium account.
