Pages specifically for the purpose of showing ads

what's that mean exactly?

[Tearabite]

I'm reading thru the TOS and Polices, and i'm not clear on what this means:
"No Google ad my be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant"

What, exactly does this mean? Would that be an MFA with content?

Can someone explain this in 'tard' language for me?

If you remove AdSense from the page, would you still keep it around and invest time in updating it? If you remove AdSense from the page, would visitors still want to go there and be happy with what they found there?

MFA can have a pretty general definition, but I think that ron hit the nail on the head. You can tell a MFA site when you see it. T

ypically it will have a big header with a specific keyword phrase "Free Home Improvement Tips," "Get Thin Fast", something of that nature, with about 2-3 Google block ads under neath, followed by some very generic conent that repeats the keywords several times. Generally, there will be only one-page to the site with no links other than google ads/affiliate links, or links to other MFA sites owned by the same person.

Eh, makes me sick even thinking about it.

The type of site ronburk and drshields described is a typical MFA site. But I think Google is referring to pages setup specifically to show all types of ads.

Just my opinion, but I think they're referring to "page ads" or interstitial ads where a user is stopped on a ad page after clicking on a link. Before they get to the place they intended to get to, a full page ad is shown.
