Directory Owner? Sell Text Links? Use AdSense Too? New Terms - Beware!

[whitebark]

If you sell text links or are a directory owner linking to gambling, pharmacy and related websites AND you use adsense - you should be aware of the new terms which say:

Sites with Google ads may not include or link to:
That last part in bold text is the new change. Before it was just having the content displayed on the same site with adsense - but now just LINKING to it can result in google taking action.

As well, it seems they have revisited the blended content/ads issue. Still not clear imo.

They're also being more insistant that adsense publishers adhere to Google Webmaster guidelines, and they state that adsense sites must be "useful, information rich" sites.
