« Back to Domain Name Dictionary | Definition of Built for AdSense
Google’s AdSense monetization platform for website publishers has continued to grow. As a result, a new business model appeared: “built for AdSense”.
Thousands of websites that were built specifically to satisfy search engine algorithms and rank high in the search engine results pages. Some of these were called “content farms” (see eHow) while others were simply called “built for AdSense” websites.

Critics claim that these sites produce marginal content, not of benefit to users, but good enough for search engines to rank.
