this is really weird. i've been banned from google for putting their ads on sites with adult content. so i've signed up with canep, and they're putting google ads on my site! it's the exact google adbox, it even says 'ads by google' at the bottom of the ad block. are they allowed to do this? or could it be one of their advertisers placing google ads instead of their own?
They could be putting Google ads instead of yours and taking the money earned from the clicks. I had a similar problem with AdBrite. They were showing computer hardware ads provided by another ad service.
i don't care what network the ads come from as long as i get my money, but if you're saying they're trying to serve these ads without paying me for them then that's going to piss me off. it'll piss me off enough to send adsense a nice letter saying what they're doing. one of the sites they're displaying these ads on has been specifically banned from adsense, i'm sure adsense wouldn't like that at all.
Let me first clarify that Google Adsense does not allow their publishers to place their ad code on third party websites that they do not own. This policy would prohibit Canep Media or any other advertising network from placing Google Adsense ads on their publisher's websites. Canep Media supports this policy and is not running any Google Adsense ads in any way, shape or form. Another advertising network on the ADECN exchange may be violating their policy by running such campaigns. If this is the case by all means contact Google Adsense directly or open a ticket in our helpdesk. We want our publishers to abide by our terms of service and likewise do not condone the violation of terms from fellow advertising networks. With that said, even if a network on the AdECN exchange was violating the Google Adsense TOS and running their ad code on your site, you will still be paid for serving the impressions.
thanks for the response slava, very professionally done. i'd like to say also that i've been running canep for a couple days now and i'm making a lot of money, i'm very happy with the revenue i'm generating from canep, and pending the receipt of checks, would be glad to recommend them to anybody.
doesn't Canep use yieldmanager? yahoo owns yieldmanager btw.it is on third party ads.yieldmanager has no control over those ads. i've seen it on cpx (they use yieldmanager) and vcm. you can reject those ads if there is an option. you can also send a policy violation if you have enough info to google.
Zodiac, Canep Media does not use YieldManager. Canep Media is a seat holder on the AdECN Advertising Exchange. The environment is much more controlled for both publishers and advertisers allowing for a better experience across the board.
Sandyfeet, we have a games channel where we serve advertisements targeted towards the gaming industry. This may or may not include gambling ads, however we allow you to censor gambling ads if you so choose.
couple more questions for you slava: it seems that canep's official stance is to ban adult content; the terms of service state explicitly that it's not allowed. yet, the unofficial stance is that these sites are allowed. is this an outdated tos? what's the deal here? second, i see there's only two inpage ads allowed, and one out of page unit. is a popunder that's integrated into the page (rather then being displayed as a popup) considered an inpage or out of page unit?
It is in fact an outdated TOS, at first when we launched our BETA we were not accepting any adult content into our publisher network. We wanted just high quality, content rich, and general audience friendly websites for our limited advertiser base. As our advertiser base started to expand we started receiving a demand for adult content from our advertisers and accepted a few adult websites. We are now openly accepting any adult content websites into our publisher base. Let me clarify that although they are in our publisher network they are clearly rated as adult websites, and only those advertisers which choose to advertise on these types of sites will have their campaigns run on them. The same principle applies to gambling related content, forums, blogs, etc. The popunder units were never supposed to be implemented inside of a page, and were always intended to be popups. This was a technical error that initially caused the problem. We know many of our publishers are placing the units within a page, rather then within a separate window. Depending on how it is implemented it can be counted as either an in page or out of page unit. Please note we are monitoring this, and many of our popup campaigns will only run if the code is implemented in a new window.
