Adsense Updates: Adsense Policy Updated: Changes: #Place ads in a floating box script. # Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page. # Format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads. # Do not place excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of webpages. # Avoid hidden text or hidden links. # Avoid “doorway†pages created just for search engines, or other “cookie cutter†approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content. # Do not include deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site’s search engine ranking (e.g., your site’s PageRank). # Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content. Google ads, search boxes, or search results may not be: * Placed on pages whose content or URL could confuse users into thinking it is associated with Google due to the misuse of logos, trademarks, or other brand features. * Placed on, within, or alongside other Google products or services in a manner that violates the policies of that product or service. A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed per page. Also, a single link unit or a search box, but no other Google ads, may be placed on pages with AdSense for search results. Queries must originate from users inputting data directly into the search box and cannot be modified. This includes pre-populating the search box with terms or hard-coding direct links to search results pages. AdSense for search code may not be integrated into any software application such as a toolbar. AdSense rejecting new applications on new domains: The Domain on which AdSense ads are shown should be active for atleast 6 months. source: http://www.jensense.com/2009/04/29/...ogle-analytics-integration-to-all-publishers/
Yes many applications are rejected. Previously with blogspot also you can apply. Now if you are applying with blogspot means then also rejecting. Domain with 6 months old only accepting.
Good reminder for everyone who is not yet familiar with the changes with blogspot, they still have those blended ads with the content stuff and I don't think it meant about the blending but to make it indistinguishable.
Not another dull Jensense post, tut tut. Who cares about these updates? All publishers have to do is login to their account to view such information. In regards to Google Adsense, they shouldn't be getting to cocky these days, because they're not performing all that well with payouts and Microsoft are ready to pounce.
