    Hello,
    I just want to ask you about many threads here, especially, in trading section, related to Adult domains, websites and content.

    Is this considered against of google AdSense ToS or not?

    Thanks

    There is a difference between providing a forum to talk about prohibited topics like adult sites, child porn, etc, and providing CONTENT for those prohibited topics. It's the same reason why, if you have a site about cars, you can't be talking about your Adsense ads; but you can talk about Adsense ads all day long if you're running a webmaster forum.

    but when i asked google..
    they said i can't use adsense on forum with just link to adult content

    in same time can we say that google has illegal content just becuase they index illegal websites.??

    Well, use your head ... we link to adult websites here not to drive visitors to them or to support them, that is different ...this is forums, not a website or a links directory ....even if it looks like that for you ...

    Its just common sense, a domain on its own isn't adult content, it's just a domain

    allowing the trade(buying/selling) of those sites is supporting them. If DP is allowing there trade then its supporting.

    but adsense on those threads is not breaking TOS

    Man, you are really have a hard time with this concept, aren't you? Stop being so bullheaded. People are already telling you why these things are allowed but you keep wanting to argue. :rolleyes:

    Actually i would think this is someone trying to sell content...

    Digital point is not a warez or porn repository, it is a place for webmasters to come together... Think of it this way, if you plan on earning most your money from people looking for porn/warez then it's against the TOS...

    Most people on DP are here to learn, hang out, have fun, etc...

    It's simple

    Having a link to a domain sale hardly constititues a link to pornographic content. It's just a matter of common sense, if you can't use that then don't use Adsense

    That's true, Nothing wrong with adsense on DP, this is a webmasters forums and it's normal to have some porn links, Spam and other things, DP is a different case just like other places from the same kind .
