    yes, adsense can be placed on a web directory, but you will afford 1 hamburger per month from the revenue...maybe !

    You'll be wasting your time using adsense in a general directory. The majority of visitors are submitters who couldn't care less about adsense ads.

    In the UK doing things like that would maybe lose an account at your ISP, in the US if you spam (hardcore) you can get real jail time, not sure in the UK.

    You were referring to selling email lists is that correct?

    for directories, it's best to earn from users to buy a link there. and not from ads. so no, not a plus point for ads to be at directories.

    You can do it on a general directory, but I know some directory owners who had their adsense accounts closed with the "your business model isn't a good fit for us" message.

    A niche directory that actually gets some traffic from the search engines can be monetized with adsense and the google adsense team seems to be fine with them. Everyone I know with adsense on their niche directory is still making money.

    You can place it but it is a total waste of time though.

    Yes...you can place without any hesitation. But you won't get single click from this site...

    You can place your adsense code but your earning is completely depend on your site traffics and appearance in SERP.

    Because submitter will not click on your code generally but if you are in list of SERP when some one looking for a particular keywords then there a bit more chance to earn through your code.

    Thanks :)

    and what is the percent of the approval ? do you approve them all ? how many of your websites in pending are spam ? how many real visitors you have ? and how you are monetizing that traffic on your free web directory ?

    General directories with good traffic make plenty of money with adsense. Only directory owners with low traffic say it's not worth it for obvious reasons. When they added it they only got pennies in return because their traffic was nil. You'll need at least 1000-5000+ unique visitors daily, to make an average of $100-$1000 monthly, if you don't have that much traffic then don't bother.
