Hit Exchanges And Google AdSense
- 4 Comment
I have written a little on my own blog today about Blog Soldiers and AdSense.
Blog Soldiers appear to be sending out emails stating that: ‘There is nothing in Blogsoldiers that violates the Terms of Service of AdSense.’
Personally I see this differently having had a ‘warning’ from AdSense, a while back, for using Hit Exchanges such as Blog Soldiers.
I have enlarged on this further on my own blog Mike’s Money Making Mission so I won’t repeat the same here. However, I think members of Blog Soldiers should consider carefully what they are doing if they are using AdSense on their blogs.
I am not saying I am right. I’m just that bloggers should form their own opinion. Google are known to disable accounts that do not comply with their policy.
Good blogging,
Mike.Â

I contacted Google and asked for clarification because we got the same “we are detecting hits from certain sites BLAH, BLAH, BLAH” email. Of course, they we less than thorough in their explanation and referred me to the TOS. Anyway, to make a long story longer, after several back-and-forth emails with them, blogexplosion, blogmad, etc. are no-nos, although Google did not come out and specifically mention them by name – they fit into the violating “category”.
So, we stopped using those traffic exchanges, removed Adsense from the home page (its not like I was going to retire from those MASSIVE checks anyway) and started concentrating on renting space with text-link-ads and AdVolcano. We’ll see what happens.

Thanks for the opinions. I expect the word is getting about of the clash between AdSense and the Hit Exchanges. Blog Soldiers were no doubt trying to protect themselves from losing active members. However I feel that their email shows a lack of care to their members by giving out information that is purely in their own interests.
