Site about beer/alcoholic drinks allowed?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Shakas, Feb 7, 2008.

    I read the TOS of adsense and read that i can´t have any (alcoholic) drink-selling related site.
    But if i have a site about beer/wiskey/voodka/etc, the types of beer, beer history etc? Would it be against TOS?

    It wouldn´t have any commercial/store use ore relation, just history and facts.

    Thanks for your help

    I think you can have that. If you still have the doubt, shoot a mail to google!
    I have seen adsense ads in some porn sites. What google is doing?

    Even thought the TOS is long. Its confusing.

    Google will be understanding if you send them an email and i think thats what you should do.I think the site will be fine.

    It's risky IMO, probably borderline with TOS. You really should contact Adsense team before putting the ads there.

    I think you'll just get a canned response, that seems to be their new way of communication with AdSense publishers :(

    I hate reading TOS , it is long and confusing
    Check some bear sites, see if they have Adsense.
    Email Google for sure.
