Hi all! I was wondering if I can put adsense on a website containing articles about poker. I mean poker rules, how to play, etc... Thx! I guess the following answers my own question... From TOS: Sites displaying Google ads may not include: ... * Gambling or casino-related content ... But now I ask... What about article directories that have these and much more?
The domain cannot promote any of the pay gambling sites. I used to have a couple poker sites and I was running adsense on one of them. The one that did not promote gambling sites. It was an affiliate store for poker tables, poker chips, t-shirts and stuff. They sent a notice that I was violating TOS and should take the ads down, but i told them and showed them that the site did not promote gambling like the other one did. They had similar domain names and were interlinked as though they were one site, just the one domain was a store and I removed all poker site affiliate links from those pages. After I showed them, they said ok I could keep the adsense ads. But that was 2 years ago, they may have changed their minds and gotten even stricter.
You cannot do this. I have asked them, thought it would be a nice way to get some high payed keywords, but no.
