Can I do this?

I am providing webservices on on my site (coming soon) and I am going to have a little link like this:br"How do we provide these services for free?"brThen when some one clicks on it they will see this:br"font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"
We have literally thousands of visitors to our Web Pages each and
every day. Many of them click on the Banner Links which are displayed
on our Web Pages. We then receive money from these Advertising Companies. We do not require that you click on any of these, but it is appreciated. Furthermore, from time to time we will introduce other Products and/or
Services to you through our regular newsletters."brbrI was just wandering if that went against adsense TOS? Thanks!br/font

Nope. This can (and probably would) be seen as a solicitation to click on the ads. I'd advise against this.

agree with mondine,
by even syaing ' its appreciated' that could still be classed as 'please click them'

google dont need to define clearly the wording of 'soliciting clicks'

i wouldnt risk it myself

I would just note in your FAQ (how can this be free?) that this free service is monetized by advertising and leave it at that. No solicitation. No trouble...to be safe, you can always contact Google first and they will review your site for you and advise you accordingly.brbrBest Regards,brDarrellbrbr
