Casino Banner on blog - Ok with Google?

Discussion in 'Google' started by raredog, Mar 9, 2008.

    I received a tempting:rolleyes: offer by an online poker website to place their banner on my site. I'm worried I might get de-indexed by Google.

    What do you think? Should I accept or reject it?

    As long as you don't have adsense it's no concern to Google

    Yes, it is allowed under Google SE, but not allowed under Google Adsense.

    It's allowed, but adult and casino stuff are often considered bad neighborhood, so I'd skip on this offer...especially if your site isn't related to casinos and you may get caught for link selling as well.

    Depend on the theme if you also cover that niche without using adsense, I don't think it is bad.

    Yup I do have adsense on my blog. A friend suggested to make it a no-follow tag but I bet the advertiser won't let it. I decided not to put the banner, it's not my niche, I only have a few paid post about poker.

    Check your Webmaster Tools account, and Yahoo backlinks - do you see links listed which are 'nofollow'? Me too. Google knows everything, it just doesn't apply the weight of a nofollow link.
