Verification of AdSense income under review

Many sites are sold based on Google AdSense income; however, it is difficult for buyers to verify claims made by sellers about the amount of income being generated through AdSense.

The Marketplace system should (with seller’s permission) reach into the seller’s AdSense account and pull out income information.

As a few users have pointed out, automated verification of income may not be possible. We may instead provide a “SitePoint-verified income” upgrade that the seller could pay for, after which a SitePoint staff member would contact the seller and work to verify the stated income.

Let us know what you think!

    there is possibility of cheating , bcoz seller can show other adsense channel too

    Interesting idea. Another idea could be to require the seller to export and upload their adsense earnings into a csv file and then Sitepoint could generate a bar chart from this?

    What?? Though it may sound good for potential buyers, i think it wouldn't be possible since seller might and usually have more than one site using particular adsense account, and probably some are using url channels and the others are not.
    and, if u could pull something like that out of someone's adsense account, wouldn't it be insecured??
