hey guys .... i have setup an online video + download site powered by youtube here http://www.chillnrock.com/videos/ i just want to know if i can put Adsense on this site??? i know another website using this same script and has adsense running on it.... let me know plz.....
by the terms of service, I would think no https://www.google.com/adsense/supp...&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-ww-et-asui&medium=link "Website publishers may not display Google ads on web pages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content." I doubt you have legal rights to display that content
I don't think so because you are hosting youtube clips entirely. Then again, I have seen other entertainment sites with youtube clips and adsense on them.
hey friend, i was'nt worried about copyright issues....YOUTUBE provides API keys to programmers and developers who are freely allowed to work with and display youtube vids in thier projects.If you'r registered on youtube then from ur profile area try to retrieve ur API..you will see a note there.So we do have rights to display youtube vids (thats why they provide embeded vid codes).There are numerous wordpress plugins (some using youtube API keys) to display include youtube vids .1000's of blogs embed youtube vids in thier posts and use adsense.Various websites with youtube vids using adsense with no trouble. ...Even youtube itself uses adsense but google owns it now anyhow Now i wonder why am i even worried..... .... I think its time to send them an email
hey is it safe to send them an email with the URL and ask for help? I mean even if they disallow my adsense is safe ye?
It is safe to ask support, so long as you don't decide to put AdSense ads up on the site even if they say no
Look at these sites: http://www.mycoolclips.com/ http://www.elite-videos.com http://www.clips4.us No comment :|
"YOUTUBE provides API keys to programmers and developers who are freely allowed to work with and display youtube vids in thier projects." Yes, that doesn't mean you are not violating copyright laws by doing it. For instance they removed over 100,000 viacom videos they were hosting improperly a couple weeks ago. They would have been on your site without copyright permission also. Sure plenty of sites host youtube and adsense, you asked if it was allowed, I simply pointed out one possible violation to consider. Good luck and yes contacting adsense directly with the URL is the only way to fly.
basing your personal adsense policies by what you see other people doing probably isn't the best judgment.
thanx everyone for a massive response lol i have dispatched an email to google...will paste the reply here
hey the developed of the script claims that google adsense is allowed http://phplooker.com/products.php
