Will blogging about Adsense get you banned?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by reallykool, Apr 4, 2008.

    I made a post about my passive income and made a comment about getting smart-priced by adsense.

    Several other bloggers have informed me that talking about adsense can get you banned.

    Is this true?

    I'm aware that the TOS prohibits you from disclosing statistical data. But talking about smart-pricing with an example isn't really prohibited by the TOS.

    Am I running afoul of Adsense and its TOS?

    If anything, they would prefer you talk about it so they get more publishers on board, as long as you don't break the terms of service by revelaing CTR, of course.

    Of course they won't ban you for talking about SmartPricing and other aspects of their program.
    Just don't publish your detailed stats.

    Agreed. You're fine. I blog about it (in general terms) quite often.

    As long as you don't share the CPM and CTR figures, it should not be a problem.

    Don't disclose your CPM, CTR and you'll be safe. It's okay to talk about adsense.

    You just can't have a domain name with adsense in it and run adsense on that site
