I am offered to buy a site it already has adsense on that domain and but most of the things are not compatible to adsnse tos. i will ofcourse change the things before i put my ad blocks on that but i would like ur advice on a few things.

its a dating site, with zero members , he is not selling the database ) and i will use this domain and program to add to my romance articles existing website.

1) if this publisher was ever banned or had a conflict with google, can the ads still run on his site?

2) any other things i need to check up?

3) What all need to I ask google about the domain?

The site goes against TOS in some ways.

1) Displays an uncovered woman picture showing off on home page. ( lol - this must get changed )
2) Has some clicks which open in popup with adsense ads.

These both are changeble easily so I would.

please advice.

The fact that ads are running on the site tells me that Google must not have found out that it's breaking the TOS.

I would ask the person to immediately stop running ads on the site, as a courtesy to you, if you are going to buy it.

Just my 2 cents...

zero members.... maybe he just creates sites and then sells them. you are starting from scratch. Which is what you would do if you just did it your self.

Good luck

I would still check the domain and the owners name out with Google first before risking getting myself banned as being associated with---.

Hi Sobriquet,

Just my 2 cents but I would think twice before buying anything from a person who so obviously breaks agreements (in this case Google TOS).
Who knows what else is under the carpet?
Best of luck!
