It's not going to help you in the long run that i can tell....

Read the Program Policies and you can see this is frowned upon. Hidden and misleading text is one of the top things that Google freaks out about, both on the AdSense and the SE side.

Is is just me, or does everyone else here get tired of people posting questions asking how to fake out, cheat, scam and trick Adsense?

I come here for useful info, and to share it when I'm able. Not a day goes by where I don't see this kind of crap here (usually by someone with poor English) discussing their MFA. The sad thing Google continues too let too many crooks get away with it.

One site in particular that I've reported over a dozen times is still up after two years with literally nothing but pages with a photo in the center, AS ads on the left, right and bottom with hidden keyword stuffed DIVs.

No, its not just you. Threads like this represent the worst of our community.

Yeah. This would not work at all.

I agree that there are just too many MFA questions lately.
Guess I'll take a short vacation away from this forum until we get some decent posts on it that are meaningful to the community as a whole.

Go ahead and give it a whirl!

More for me if it isn't allowed.

Maybe it's time for pre-moderation in here, as already in google/

Hi,

No, not just you, there are WaaaaaaaaaaaY too many eejits asking us to help them scam G (and ourselves as AW advertisers!).

I just lost my rag in one thread, and another one has degenerated to personal insults and accusations of affiliation with the German National Socialists of the late 1930s...

wow, 2 line of code caused all this?
Running on a hair trigger are we?

August appears to be a bad month to ask a question on WW.

Can it be that the O/P is running a financial site but is getting untargeted off topic ads? Goooooogle banning the practice, and his just asking about it does not make him a crook.

Maybe because I broke my earnings record yesterday I am in a "forgiving mood"

You know the posts I hate most?
Those that repeat the very same question repeated in 2 threads only one tiny scroll below, those really p1ss me off.

Added to save my behind:
Burn MFA, Burn spammers, go away August and don't come back!

Nice save, Hobbs. :)

I know what's happening, they are getting this site onfused with that other similar sounding site MFAMasterWorld. Some bookmarks need to be updated.

Hi,

But every time I try to look at MFAMasterWorld.com something funny happens and all I get to see is two ad units and no content.

Maybe it's cloaked? (B^>)

Really?

All I saw was one big picture of a dancing dog surrounded by adsense units :)

Ann

The O/P could try section targeting to improve ad relevancy, adding off-topic ads to the competitive ad filter instead of frowned upon activities like keyword stuffing.

thx for the reply guys. i dident make the site but i will remove that code from my pages.
and i never got an answer about my question if the code was a violation.

Regards Anders

I would think, if I remember right, that's hidden text? And if so it can get you kicked out of the serps as it would fracture Googles webmaster guidelines. What good would adsense be to you then whether or not it is against the adsense TOS?

Ann

thx ann,

the text is not hidden but i have removed it to be on the safe side.

the text is in the top of the code but on the page is in the bottom.

so it not hidden.

Regards anders.
