Made for Adsense sites are seems to be taken as infirior. I simply want to know how many of us will build the site in the future completely ignoring G? I guess no one. I think the term MFA is wrong. All the sites will take adsense into consideration else it may be made for YPN or MSN. The principle remains the same. Contexual ad programs can never be ignored.

And if we provide the quality content, whats the problem in that?

I think it depends on the site. My guess is that 95% of the webmasters on this board have created "Made for Adsense" sites. It all boils down to how you build the site.

If your pages have nothing more than a couple of keywords to feed the mediabot and a bunch of AdSense blocks, you'll eventually be in trouble.

If your pages are full of "snippets" from other sites (scraped content) then you might eventually be in trouble.

If your pages are full of content that is actually useful for your visitors with one or two AdSense blocks strategiclly placed on them you'll be fine.

In today's webmaster environment, unless a new site is built specifically to sell a product or service directly it's a fairly safe bet that it's a "made for AdSense" site.

Its the made for adsense sites which provide no value but a list of keywords and some scraped paragraphs of text which are looked down upon. I think you are right, any future project I do which I want to monetize will have its design dictated by where I'm going to place the adsense. So...I think you should call it "designed for adsense" rather than "made for adsense"...if that makes sense :)

Time to get out of the house, take a walk, interact with the rest of the world.

If you are referring to those posting on this forum, maybe only a few. Outside in the real world though there are many. I am working on a site now that has no regard for google or adsense. kind of enjoyable really, and many sites have had great success on the 'net w/o.

I've made a site for Adsense.

I took a couple of the lengthier articles from my existing site, edited them quite heavily and presented the information in a much more user-freindly way.

10 pages stacked full of content made partially with adsense in mind. As it happens, I've imported the user-freindly pages back into the original site, so to avoid any penalty for duplication the made for adsense site no longer runs adsense!
