Changing adsense code

Discussion in 'Guidelines / Compliance' started by ridun, Jun 12, 2007.

    Is there any reason why I would not be allowed to change something in the adsense code? For example changing the numbers that relate to the color of the ads. If I generate it by going to my account, I will have to copy and paste it to all my pages, but if I can just change the numbers myself I could get the code and then use a find a replace program to do the work.
    Would this be allowed?

    If you're just changing hex codes that should be fine - I've done that manually before.

    Of course you can change the colors manually.
    But changing other aspects of the ads is not allowed.

    If one has learned how to improve the look of the Adsense ads by making them more presentable (clickable), he/she would know how to change (not against TOS) some of the components (shown below) of the script and add a line immediately after "google_ad_client = "pub-xxx";" to get alternative ads if relevant ones are unavailable due to various reasons (somo many conflicting keywords, too little content, etc.)

    google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_link = "000080";
    google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_text = "000001";
    google_color_url = "999999";

    Example of the line for alternative ads:
    google_alternate_ad_url = "http://moderncl1ck.com/eb/6/XXX/0";

    I add the channel data and the colors manually cause it does not mean changing it is just the same code adsense gives you, but a real change is of course against the tos.
