Does adsense allow domains with the word porn in them?

    I have a domain that has the word porn in it. I tried to set up a parking page at 1plus.net with a few adult keywords for the site. AdSense advertiments will not show up on the site. I type in the keyword porn, adult videos, sex videos, into google.com and it shows adsense advertiments for those keywords to the right (adwords for search). *but* when i use those keywords for my site it will not show advertiments. So, my question is does adsense block adsense from domain with SEX type keywords in the domain name?

    I did notice if I type in just the keyword 'sex' that google.com does not show any advertisments to the right.

    Also, since it is the 'NEWS' layout on 1plus.net it has no porn, sex etc content to it. Just news about that stuff pulled from different RSS feeds.

    This is a very specific question and if we get the answer wrong you could get banned. I recommend you ask AdSense Support about this directly.

    1. A domain with the word "porn" is about a mature adult topic.

    2. You cannot use adsense on sites with mature content.

    3. What adwords may allow its advertisers to advertise has nothing to do with what you can do as an adsense publisher.

    Based on you stated intent to have a "few adult keywords for the site" you seem to be confused as to what adsense means when they say no mature content.

    You plan is doomed from the beginning. Just use something other than adsense.

    I wouldn't display adsense on that site if I were you. having that word in your domain would probably breach adsense TOS as it has a "mature" word in it.

    I can't think of a way G would accept a site with that word in it... just contact them directly, that's the only way to get your answer.

    Maybe if the site were an educational site advocating against pornography, but even still... the content would have to be so anti-porn to show any ads.

    Let us know what G says, thanks!

    No worries. I guess it just took a few days. Now, it is showing advertisments.

    Ofcourse this is just a thought, and you'd better ask adsense about it, but what if it were a website using the url wehateporn.com with an antiporn campaign? I'm using this example just to say that the url shouldn't matter, the content should..

    Mark the date to see how long it lasts. Google has all sorts of ads for that subject, but that's different...they are SELLING those ads so of course they will allow that. You've just admitted that you put adult keywords on it...adult, mature, porn, etc are all against Google's Policy for Adsense. I'd either give up on the idea or contact them about it because this doesn't sound like a good plan.
