Hey, I've got a torrent related site, it's a meta-search engine that displays torrent websites in Iframes bellow a frame. My question is, will I be able to get away with having a banner Ad on the homepage, where there are no links to anything torrent related?
I have seen some sites sharing torrents and illegal download links using adsense and making good money with it. But it's always to be on safe side. I think you should not try using adsense in your torrent sharing site.
If you're talking about official adsense terms then NO it is not allowed but you wont get caught until you email Adsense Support asking them about something or until someone complaints them about violation of terms on your site.
Yeah i think I'll be doing that! I don't use Adsense for other sites any more so it's worth a shot I guess.
Indeed, you can atleast give it a try. I don't know how Google will see torrent websites but most of the websites will offer illegal content and in that case you don't get approved.
Ask adsense directly, no answer given here on DP should satisfy you to the point of following the advice given, if you have some brain left.
I think it is not legal but illegal to put AdSense on torrent. Some may argue that those sites do not actually have illegal content but just links to information found over the internet.
You can not promote any illegal contents or contents links. So you are 100% unable to use AdSense such website. No bargaining.
