Made For Adsense Websites
 

How many times has this happened to you when searching online? You find several links to sites that look like they have the information you’re looking for. However when you go to those sites you find only a few ads and nothing but a couple lines of useless text. (If you’re lucky to even find that) So you go back and look around some more and find another link that takes you to another site like exactly like the first one,..............well maybe the color is different. After a bit more searching and running across several more websites like this, you either luck out or find the information you’re looking for, or get pissed off and give up. If this happened to you I don’t need to tell you how frustrating MFA websites are. 


MFA websites (Short for Made For Adsense websites) are a constant problem on the internet. Even though Google has clamped down on several MFA sites and click fraud over the last couple years, they still keep appearing on search results. 


So what are made for adsense websites? 


Made for adsense websites are just that, they are created with the sole purpose of getting you the visitor to click on their ads. What content you do find on these sites is a combination of either next to nothing, gibberish, or copy and pasted content from legitimate websites and blogs. They also use various tricks to try to force you to click on their ads. Some of these tricks are but not limited to; 


1. Disguising ads as links or as the content 
2. Using pop up ads 
3. Disabling the back button 
4. Shrinking the text as small as possible while the ads use large text 
5. Advertisements that take up most of the page 


To get visitors MFA site owners use a combination of white and black hat seo tricks. They also use adsense to launch advertising campaigns to rank on the first page of Google. One method that was commonly used is something called. “Adsense Arbitage” 


It’s important to note that just because a website displays advertisements doesn’t make it an MFA site. Many websites that display ads (Google Adsense or other types of affiliate advertisements) do so to keep their original content free. 


Who gets hurt by mfa websites? 


So who gets hurt by these types of websites. You could (And I know many would) argue that nobody gets hurt by them. Yeah their annoying when you’re looking for something online, but you don’t have to pay anything, you’re not being charged, so what’s the big deal? 


The reality is they do hurt you. They hurt you because you have to search and filter through all the crap to find what you’re looking for. There a barrier between you and the sites you actually want to find. They hurt advertisers and businesses who have to pay to advertise on Adsense and other affiliate sites who now have to pay more to prevent scammers from using those keywords and phrases. And while the big companies can handle it, smaller business with limited advertising budgets can’t. It also hurts legitimate site owners. Not only do you have to compete with other sites to rank well on Google and other search engines, you have to compete with a never ending sea of junk MFA websites that can push you down the search results and keep visitors coming to your site. 


So why do people still make mfa sites 


The answer is simple they work. Even after all the years the internet, affiliate advertising, and Google have been around there are still lots of people who have no clue what Google Adsense is, how it works, or how to make money online. So by placing ads in places where peoples eyes tend to focus it’s only a matter of time before their ads are clicked on. In short it’s a numbers game, they create several hundred or even thousand websites (This can be done very quickly when the sites have next to nothing and you cloak them) get them all ranking high on Google. For example let’s say 5 percent of a sites visitor’s click on ads and each click earns you 10 cents you would make about 50 cents on every hundred visitors to your site. Now add 1000 sites to that number and each one of those sites gets approximately 200 visitors a day you’re looking at 1000+ dollars a day. Of course there are keywords that pay even more, so it’s not hard to imagine that number being even higher. 



How do you spot a made for ad sense website 


There are a number of ways to spot made for adsense websites. The big tip offs to a traditional MFA sites are: 


1. Menu on the right hand side of the page 

2. Very few links for the user to click on the site (so they click your Google ads instead) 

3. No external links outside of the adsense block 

4. 300x250 adsense block underneath the article headline

5. Lack of images, video, or anything that could distract you from noticing the ads. 

6. No search bar 

7. No privacy policy or contact information 

8. Blending ads to resemble content or disguising them to look like links 

9. No or next to no content 

10. Disabling the back button to try to keep you on the site longer 


This isn’t the be all end all list as there are several other factors that you can use to tell if a website is an MFA site or not, but these seem to be the most common from my experience. You want to look for a combination of these things since there are many websites that have or do one or two of these things. By knowing what to look for you help shut these types of websites down. Below are some examples of made for adsense websites.
