In this way my page impression will increase and hecnce pay per click.Is it legal, and if it is illegal than why?Can google monitor that its not my site. may be they ll think that its my other site. Please reply guys!

No, you can't. Read the TOS.

I don't think they can monitor this, but it is against the rules. Then again, if they don't know, and can't possibly know unless you tell them, or someone here hunts you down and snitches on you...

KNow what I mean?

Yes, You can

According to AdSense's TOS:

13. ...(b) You are the owner of each Site or that You are legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of such Site(s) for the purposes of this Agreement and the Program

I don't think your PPC will increase because of this practice. It's just a speculation.
However, I'm sure your earnings will be increased and you may get more invalid clicks.

You will need written permission from Google.

Write to them and they will give you the info.

I had ads on a clients site and decided to remove them a couple of days ago.

I don't think that it is worth it. Build more of your own sites and you will sleep a little easier. I now do ; )

You don't need permission. From my understanding, and experience (with no problems), putting the adsense code on another site is perfectly fine as long as the other domain has never been banned from the adsense program, and you can't have two different publisher's ads on the same page.

Hmm...I guess I interpreted "legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of such Site(s)" too strictly. Sorry.

I agree just continue to create great sites usfull to the public on your own.

[hfguide]

I don't know if it's legal or not (it's probably against the rules) but I do know that unless you're going to add G-AS with the complete understanding and consent of the friend, what you want to do is 100% unethical.

Do you believe Google will reverse a decision to terminate your account when you tell them "But . . some members of WW said it was okay"?

Ask 'them' not us.
