Adsense isn't allowed to be placed in video site?

I just read Google Adsense program policies and found this:

So if I have an artists photo gallery, I'm not allowed to place Adsense in it?

 

..
I have never been clear on what the "Image Results" meant.. clearly it cant mean a page with pictures? I am GUESSing it means a page that pulls in the results of a search for images on the web - because those may be copyrighted.

but - if you have a photo gallery with no text, it might be hard getting decent ads..

 

Thanks Tearabite,

I have a trick for that. I optimize the "alt" and give a title for each image.
For example: Jessica Alba - US Artist and Model #1
this way, it attracts some US based ads about DVDs and films.

 

what about video site?
I also provide some video clips, and short commercial films.

 

The TOS is pretty clear.. NO Ads on pages with videos..

 

thanks,
I have removed them all from my video pages.
thank God I realize it before getting banned

 

You're welcome.. but please, dont call me God !

 

Holy cow!! Didn't know this...

 

hahahahaha

 

yeah, I just knew it too..
I thought not many people realize it, cause I see many video sites using adsense.

 

Lol ridiculous. It specifically says Results. As long as the videos don't infringe copyright it's okay.

 

what about Youtube before.. it using adsense. there are thousand of thousand video clips...

 

I have no idea..
I just found this restriction in Google Adsense TOS.

 

What I saw is that many websites which provide video clips and short commercial films also use adsense. Aren't those videos copyrighted? I think so.

 

If they are copyrighted, they're violating the TOS. Otherwise, they aren't. Simple as that

 

All that needs to be updated. It hasn't been true for quite awhile. Proof?

Check out thsese posts at the OFFICIAL ADSENSE Google Group (they should confirm for you that putting adsense on sites with video IS okay):

If Google is telling Adsense publishers to put video on their site through an Adsense announcement board, it must be OK.

Remember, these were posted in an OFFICIAL ADSENSE news group by an OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE of Google. No one else, but Google representatives, are allowed to post there.

 

Now, I'm totally confused

 

You can email google like i did...they told me it was okay for my site...

 

Thanks Mike,
I think the main issue here is copyrighted materials.

 

People you need to read more clearly.

If you have an image site, video site, torrent site you can place ads there.

What you CAN'T do is on your search page result, you cant use ads.

For example, Youtube, you can place ads on this page:

http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=m&c=0&l=

But not on this page:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=digitalpoint&search=Search

Hope I made it clear..

Peace,
