    You can not have it on any page that requires a login to view the content. As Google would be unable to spider it.

    What exactly do you mean by 'personal information' pages? I have adsense on my persona sites and personal blogs and haven't had any problems.

    Sorry, looks like your right. I could have sworn I read that before, but I just went through the TOS and it is not mentioned. I guess Google would only show ads related to the site then and not the specific page?

    Doesn't seem to make much sense from a contextual stand point.

    well like personal to the user - liek private stuff

    sounds like its ok though.. sooo


    and about the ads behind login - i plan to make some sort of super account for the google bot that would allow access to all pages in throughout the site (i still havent thought of a way to make it secure .. if anybody has any suggestions)

    Nope, not very much sense from a contextual stand point. Google uses site's theme to display ads behind a login pages, although not that much targeted.

    h-ttp://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=27289&highlight=adsense+behind+login+site


    well i found that thread...

    and got here
    h-ttps://www.gogle.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=10532

    but people cant just change their user-agent and theyll have access to everything.. so still doesnt seem like a good solution

    haha maybe ill just hash all the pm numbers and user refrences


    i wonder how gmail has ads... haha maybe its really insecure too
