Use Komli / Doubleclick to bypass Adsense Policies

November 9, 2008

Google’s AdSense Policy is very strict towards individuals, really especially with Ad Placements of AdSense Code in Pop-ups or Pop-Unders.

Indian FREE SMS Provider 160by2.com is Violating the AdSense policy and yet Google hasn’t taken any action. What 160by2.com has done is, it hasn’t directly signed-up with Google AdSense, instead it has signed up with Komli.com through which it gets Google’s Ad Inventory. What is surprising is inspite of such dirty practices being on for over a month, Google hasn’t suspended the account Google’s differential policy for Publishers – Adsense Vs Doublelick.

Here is the proof of it,

Adsense Violation without being caught

Adsense Violation without being caught

So the next time you sign-up for Adsense, do it through Ad Brokers like Komli so that you can misuse AdSense Policy :-)

Update:

160by2 in a comment clarifies that DoubleClick offers Pop-Up/Under Advertising and it is not against TOS. So it was wrong on my part to assume AdSense and Doubleclik had the same Policies [Blindly] assuming Google was a No Evil Company but skeptical now.

    Hi

    I am Anand from 160by2.com. I would like to clarify against your reported claims of violation of Google TOS by our company.

    Firstly, 160by2.com does have a partnership with Google in serving their ads. Even a cursory look at our website shall dispel that claim of yours.

    Secondly, what is shown on Komli pop-unders are not exactly Adsense ads, but ads from Doubleclick (a company Google acquired). Doubleclick offers advertising partnerships with individual publishers as well ad-agencies (which includes Komli). And yes, they do offer pop-under ads in this partnership. The pop-under ads you have pointed out is one such ad.

    I would recommend you to please study advertising terms and violation policies carefully before accusing us.

    Thanks and Regards
    Anand Srinivasan
