Well, it's actually only one topic, but this one has more than one "aspect". You see, it says somewhere on the Google's AdSense site that "it isn't allowed to modify the AdSense code" (or something like that, I really forgot the exact wording), so I am interested in the following three things ... 1. As first, I am interested, could I change the case (i.e. upper-case/lower-case) of values of some particular attributes/properties (not sure which term is the right one here); for example to change from value "FFFFFF" to value "ffffff". Again, it's the way I code, my personal preference. 2. Further, could I at least remove the carriage-returns, without changing the actual code/text. It's because it is one of my web-coding principles to have as tight code as possible ?? (few site's "update-schedules" back I even used the HTMLOptim program to compress the code; however, unfortunately it doesn't support XHTML, so I don't use it anymore. Btw., if you want to see the "9.7.2005" entry on events3.html page on my home-site for details on the usage of the linked program, or alternatively the software.html page, particularly below under the "NON-SETUP SUPPORT PROGRAMS" section) 3. And finally, similarly to the two questions above, could I remove some of the spaces, again, without changing the actual code/text (once more, it's because of my web-coding principles); for instance consider this example below. instead of this form: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> Code (markup): I would rather use: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> Code (markup): thanks, tayiper
All good questions. Your going to get a lot of opinions. If it was me I would ask adsense support and do what they advise. Post their response if you don't mind -jay
Yea, i wouldn't go around messing with code even if it was for the most miniscule of things. All the adsense folks can say if you asked is, "No". right?
If you want AdSense, you should use the AdSense code as AdSense wants not as you want Take this as a friendly opinion. You shouldn't stick to minor things such as caps #FFF or line breaks, really...
Youd be fine with all of what you want to do there IMO. Its not 'real' changes you are talking about.
Technically, you cannot change any code. Period. But, realistically, I don't think Google will take the time to read your AdSense code and then ban you for changing the spacing.
oh that would be difficult for me to explain. lol like when you hit enter, there is a carriage-return sign to make it a new line
That what you want to do are not real changes of the code so I think you can do that, but in other hand I wouldn't mess with google so I think best thing to do is to ask them.
This has been discussed many, many times before. You can "modify" any part of the code manually as long as you can do it via the Adsense ad creation wizard.
