Curious if anyone can help me.

I haven't ran any high volume to adsense in 5+ years and thus haven't kept up at all and what is/is not okay (besides the 'max 3 ad units per page'). I have a "path" (not really co-reg, it's a wizard that tries to take broad traffic and identify a matching offer for someone looking for general resources/info.

I run them through a half dozen offers (1 per page) before dropping them to an 'end' page w/ the following:

"Thank you for using our site, if you're looking for more information or haven't found what you're looking for consider some of our partner's sites listed below"

beneath this is a large rectangle and then at the bottom of the page a link unit.

Any issues with this? It's as clean as can be to me (clearly noting these are NOT links on our site, even using the default google colors, etc) - but just want to make sure as the ECPM is, thus far, quite high ($100+)

Any help would be appreciated, IF anything isn't kosher I'd like to make sure I correct it as if this holds it's a great earnings padding that will allow me to scale and monetize those users who aren't interested in my site's content.

Thanks
 


"Thank you for using our site, if you're looking for more information or haven't found what you're looking for consider some of our partner's sites listed below"

That can be seen as encouraging clicks.

From the Adsense Program Policies:

In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:

  • Compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior.
  • Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language.
  • Direct user attention to the ads using arrows or other graphical gimmicks.
  • Place misleading images alongside individual ads.
  • Place ads in a floating box script.
  • Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page.
  • Format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads.
  • Place misleading labels above Google ad units. For instance, ads may be labelled "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements", but not "Favourite Sites" or "Today's Top Offers".
 
so sounds like a simple 'thanks for using our website!' headline with just the large rectangle below is okay? if so this is great, the ecpm is higher doing just this.

thanks
 
You also need content on the site. Try adding an article or other things, images, download links etc.

If the traffic converts, they'll be happy.

If they don't, you get the boot.
 
In my experience, you can place a heading like "More Resources" or "Features" with no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.
