    Hello, I'm a lurker in these forums so I suppose it's about time for my very first stupid question :)

    I was re-reading through the TOS to ensure that my site is fully compliant and am slightly confused on what constitutes a "non-content-based-page"... :confused:
    I have a few pages that seem iffy to me so any help/suggestions would be greatly appritiated.

    Here's my iffy pages:

    punksoftware.com/download?project=RocketDock
    punksoftware.com/converticon
    punksoftware.com/nerdproliferator

    I'm mostly concerned about keeping ads on the first one because it gets all the traffic :D

    Hi PolyVector,

    In my opinion, you have valid reason for concern. While there are no established metrics for what constitutes a "content page", one number I've seen bandied about is '500 words'. This would probably be a good minimum to work from, and at present, all of your pages fall short. The third page you list is probably the closest to a proper content page - you may want to take a few moments to come up with an answer to the question, "What can I do to make my pages more useful for my visitors?" Basing your website content on this strategy should assure that your pages are appropriate for serving AdSense. :)

    HTH,
    Sam

    Thanks WebFreedom,
    I'll think about what content I can add to the pages. I'm stumped on my download pages because I already have a page for the project, but I'm sure there's something I can add. Maybe a paragraph after the version listing that talks about our other projects :)

    I guess I have some work to do then... :eek:

    edit: I think I'll put kanoodle ads on the web-app pages to be safe :)
