Would you be allowed to place adsense on meme or humor sites containing funny pictures? I have seen sites online with the same meme characters also some sites copy from each or from memecentre Also, I have seen a site which is for sale showing wierd and funny pictures of people from their Facebook account or dating sites..apart from being a little mean isn't that a breach of copyright rules and adsense policies?
As its duplicate content, then no its not OK for adsense. As its illegal theft of other peoples copyrighted images, then not its not even legal.
It's fine, they all do it. The meme world is a bit different to other images, it's nigh on impossible to say who is/was the original owner of the picture used. Google is way more relaxed on duplicate images than it is duplicate articles.
The thing people miss though is adsense is contextual - that means the ads that appear correlate to the text not the images.....
I think humor site is same with the wallpaper site, its poor content and most of them are violation content (copied content). So it break the Adsense rules.
Its fine if you have big traffic, they love it but if you are a small timer, you site may flag accidental and fraud clicks. Some of the fun/humor site only get banned if they still show adsense ads on NSFW images in their humor site.
