What is a squeeze page from an AdSense perspective?

[farmboy]

I thought I knew what a squeeze page was but now I'm reading descriptions that indicate different people have very different definitions. From an AdSense perspective, what is a squeeze page?

I would quess, a page where the only links away are paid advertising.

I always just thought it was email marketing. Get the email addresses so they can be added to the database. Don't worry about providing any other information than a sign-up form. The "squeeze" is that the visitor has no other option but to sign up or leave the site.

I heard the term a couple years ago on another forum and thought it was pretty appropriate.

I haven't seen it in relation to adsense though. A page with no content other than ads maybe? Click or leave?

Maybe with disabled back button and no site navigation, just ads?

Maybe with disabled back button

Yeah, boy wouldn't that be a squeeze... ha ha... No way to get out except bookmarks or typing something in...

Ah, so that's why JummyCheung was kicked out. I wasn't sure what they were referring to in that other post. Makes sense.

I wanted to ask JummyCheung why he thought it was a high CTR that got him banned and about how high it was!

Maybe since he paid $8,000 for advertising to get $17,000 in revenue it was really more of the arbitrage thing.

Been caught in them a few times, (before Google put disabling back button as a no-no in the TOS), Getting out is so quick and easy it is hilarious :)
