Adsense on 404 pages

Hello,
Is it allowed to put adsense ads on 404 pages with link to correct page ..?

--

 

you can only put adsense on content-based pages am i right?

 

Yeah but I have seen an Adsense for Search and Referral on hostgators 404.... http://hostgator.com/f

 

I can't see Adsense (ad or link unit) ads here.


You cannot put ads on an error page. Especially not on blank error page.

 

I should have mentioned I was responding to kg_lew, instead of the OP. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Adsense must be on pages with relevant content.

You can however, use the 404 page to recommend sites that maybe the users were looking for.

 

The firfeox thing is a referral.

 

putting adsense on 404 page is against adsense TOS. however, if you have lot of visitors ending up in 404 page, then you can name your 404 page something else like thankyou.html or whatever and put some content on it. or yuo can redirect your 404 page traffic to your about us page and put adsense there. just a workaround

 

No.It's against their TOS...

 

i have the same template for my 404 page as my website, only thing being with an error message with 404!
so yes my 404 does have adsense.

 

As a previous posted said, its against the Adsense TOS. You can get banned from Adsense for this.

 

You could, if it had quite a bit of content on too, I believe...

 

Definately avoid it if you can.

 

I know it's referral. That's why it makes sense.

 

No, its not allowed.

 

I have seen adsense ads on 404 pages and it is with in the TOS.
But it doesn't make sense to place adsense ads on 404 pages, which may not be having any relevant content and the chance of click is very slim
