Will posting your Adsense earnings get you in trouble?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by rs217000, Sep 16, 2009.

    I currently have a blog (in my signature if you're interested), where I'm tracking my earnings from my online earning efforts. One of these efforts is Adsense. Does Google forbid posting your earnings? Right now, I'm pretty fresh, and only pulling in pennies, but I don't want my work to be squashed down the road.


    Thanks!

    I believe you are allowed to post your totals (daily, weekly, yearly, etc) but none of the specifics such as CTR's and payment per clicks.

    As long as your CTR and CPC are not exposed, i think you are safe.

    Well, yes harizd is correct. You will have no problem until you don't display any details like number of clicks, no of impressions. CPC, CTR etc. Don't worry.

    you cannot disclose ctr cpc like others say. you can however disclose them but only with prior approval form google. some big shot publishers have posted their earnings in the past with express google permission

    Why should one want to disclose his earnings ? That is what I am thinking.

    As inspiration? This is a good chance to prove people that Adsense is alive and kicking =)

    I guess the only problem with that is, people will envy you (in case its a mind boggling number) or laugh at your earning (if the income is way too low). Take your call now! BTW google doesn't care if you do share your account details. It's for your own good that they advise not to

    Good to hear. Thanks guys. To answer the question that some of you had, I'm posting my earnings because my blog (in the sig) is basically a diary of my earnings. I started two weeks ago (both this blog, and blogging in general), and I want to show other people what's working for me. I'm kind of like a poor man's (very poor man's) Griz.

    Thanks again for the feedback - good to know!

    You can show your adsense page but black out the CTR and eCPM column to be safe!
