Can adsense ads be placed on applications?

Hi,

This might not be the right board to post his but I have a question about adsense and ad placement in general.

Ive made an Ads class for Java developers so that they can integrate ads/banners easily in their Java (stand alone) application with only a few lines of codes. My class will support several publisher ads so that Java developers can use my class to add their ads in their application so that each user that uses the applicarion will see their ads. My question is: is it legal to add adsense ads in a NON webbased page? I'm planning to release my class soon and i was thinking to add this functionallity before releasing a final on my site.

Since i don't use adsense I have no idea but i'm sure you guys now.

Thanks

Regards,

 

lot of WP theme developers make their theme adsense ready. they put adsense code within the template and user of the theme just add their publisher ID. seems like you are trying to do something similar where user of the ap will ad their own ad to be displayed. in that case i think it should be ok

 

AdSense can not be run in non-web based (I think browser based) applications

 

I've managed to run publisher code with the keywords i placed in my adclass so i don't think its that hard to integrate adsense code. The problem is indeed that my applications are not webbased (but they do ping the net) so i don't know if this is againt their ToS.

 

In the prohibited uses paragraph of their TOC

Thanks db, i'll scrap this feature in my class.

 

i think it's possible if the app is lanched online ( need internet connection )

 

I think this is not allowed.

 

A bit late reply, buy yes. After reading the ToS i've disabled my adsense support for java applications although it works. Waste of time.

 

U can include FIREFOX and PICASA ads I guess. U need permission from google.
Take divx.com

 

I suppose that with Google permission it works. Some time ago, Opera browser show publicity from adsense in its menu bar.

 

Google permissions work for an individual right? My software can be included in any java application to show their ads on their application. So that won't work.

ps, i've had a few pm's about people that want to get my class and integrate ads on their java application but since google doesn't allow this i've removed the google adsense support for all public releases. Thanks.
