Q : May I put the google adsense code outside the webpage area? (I guess placing the code at .js extensions is more secure) A : We ask that you don't alter the ad code in any way. Because you'll be unable to properly link to the ad code in a manner that will allow ads to displayed while not changing the original code, we ask that you don't do this. Q : May I put some variations at google adsense code without modifying the original code? (Using some script that I've added above/below the original code without any modification at the original code) A : Again, publishers aren't permitted to change the ad code or the ads' intended behavior in any way. Please keep in mind that while it's possible to alter the behavior of ads without altering the ad code, this is not in compliance with our policies. Q : May I encrypt my webpage in order to save my source code from another publisher? Would it be gives any affect for googlebot when crawling my webpage caused by those encryption? A : We unfortunately don't currently support encrypted sites for the AdSense program. Q : Am I allowed for promoting my website to my friends at online chat or online community? (NOT ASKING CLICKS!) A : You may advertise your site as long as you don't do so with the use of unsolicited emails, posts or announcements. Q : Is it allowed for displaying the google ads code at any sharing revenue forum? A : Please note that Google does not endorse or encourage the use of ad code rotation. We recommend that you review the AdSense Terms and Conditions found on https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms, and exercise caution if you choose to rotate the ad code on your forum. All AdSense participants are responsible for ensuring that pages showing their ad code comply with AdSense policies and that invalid clicks are not generated on sites showing their ads. Q : Is it allowed for placing another advertiser's search box along together with Google search box at one webpage? A : Google's Adsense for search box may not be placed on the same page as a competitive search product. Q : If my visitors open my ads in a new tab/window, is this would be categorized as invalid click? A : In order to protect your interests as well as those of our advertisers, Google monitors clicks on Google ads to prevent any abuse of the AdSense program. Google's proprietary technology analyzes all ad clicks for invalid click activity that is intended to artificially drive up an advertiser's clicks or a publisher's earnings. This includes right clicks on ads that may be used to open the source in a new tab or window. Hope it useful for y'all
If revenue sharing site is generating invalid clicks, who would be responsible for these invalid clicks? All participants? Or whoever's ads showing on the page that is generating invalid clicks? regards
That was a great interview with folks at Adsense, Thanks... but still I wonder why revenue sharing is against the TOS
When I asked them, they said its OK until only ads from one publisher is shown on the page at a time.
"endorse or encourage" does not mean not allowed. It's not encouraged because the publisher have no control over the content. But this would be true to any user generated content site.
This is so unfair. The publisher may get banned for no fault of his/her own. Alot of people right clicks to open pages. I myself used to do it before becoming a google ad publisher with good intention.
Google's proprietary technology analyzes all ad clicks for invalid click activity that is intended to artificially drive up an advertiser's clicks or a publisher's earnings. So... don't worry about the right click!
ok so anyone can make a revenue sharing forum? and people can post they're publisher id on adsense revenue sharing fosums and display ads there without any problems?
Thank you for sharing this. I wanted to ask about this: If I have a style sheet the controls how buttons and test boxes appear and this affected the appearance of the search form, is this OK?
