3rd party links and adsense

    My site has links to movies that do have some adult content. I'm not talking porn, it is a zombie genre site. I checked my adsense account today and perhaps there was something wrong, but it did not show my page immpressions. Could I be banned for linking to other sites that have rated R content?

    However the adds on my site are still there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Not only you can place ads on contents that is prohibitory in nature but also linking to sites that have undesirable contents. It is better to remove those links pointing to such sites as soon as possible.

    Yeah, the standard is "family friendly" which means G-rated sex, and no excessive violence or talk about death. Totally anti-zombie.

    Maybe try affiliate ads from Amazon.com for zombie movies?

    You can never be sure. Try to put yourself in Google's position. Would you a publisher to do that?
