Adsense free directory?? Good or bad

[alistair]

I was just going through the submitted sites on my free directory, and a thought hit me as I saw that so many of these submitted sites seemed to be built only with adsense in mind.
You know the types of sites, information sites, just about any site with .info for a tld, mfa's etc.

The thought was, build a directory and not allow any sites into it that use adsense!

Hi all

I wouldn't make generalizations like "all sites using adsense are bad". There are tons of legitimate sites that supplement their revenues (or make the bulk of their revenues) via Adsense. Would you not include major online destinations that contain thousands of pages of unique, valuable content, simply because they have Adsense?

While I would encourage you to maintain a no-MFA policy, you may want to reconsider your thoughts on banning any site with Adsense. Generalizations rarely work. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

i dont think that the link will be weighed after having a look at the site if its using adsense or not.

i guess google wont deal a site different if it is having adsense code on it -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

How can you differentiate those sites that would install adsense after they get listed from those sites that are listed but does not contain adsense?

AdSense crazy people like me wants to put our own site anywhere and however we can. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
