Google Rumor: Shutting Down Made For Adsense Website Accounts
By Diona Kidd on May 28, 2007 in E-Business, Industry News
Rumors are going around that Google is shutting down Adsense accounts for made for Adsense (MFA) websites. MFA websites have been around since the launch of Google Adsense. Webmasters that have mastered this technique of website creation are rumored to be able to make aroud $70,000 USD per month.
The technique is pretty simple. Websites are created to target high dollar search keywords and populated with Ads (generally, no content). Traffic is driven to the websites using Adwords advertising. A search engine user follows the Adwords Ad, thinking it’s what they are looking for…but they find ads on the website and quickly click through to the end advertiser.
To quote Search Engine Roundtable…
“So if they paid $0.20 per click on AdWords and made $0.25 per click with AdSense, they made $0.05. Simple concept.”
The rumor is being fueled by reports on WebmasterWorld.com from website owners that Google is sending notices of account termination to MFA website owners. At the time of this writing, no comment is known to exist from Google’s AdSenseAdvisor.
