Short version: If I change phpBB forum READ permissions to 'REG' from 'ALL' will Adsense display non-relevant ads as in will Adsense be BLIND to my pages?? Ellaboration: My forum's global READ permissions across my entire site have been set to 'ALL' since eternity as I was told Adsense wouldn't work properly IF I was too 'tight' on forum 'READ' permissions. I feel that because forum permissions have been set this way this could be the the cause why many people simply aren't registering. Guests can read most of the content of the forum with these permissions (except staff related forums) as the forum permissions are set to READ - All. Any pointers/advice would be welcome. Regards, Rich
mediabot looks at pages as an unregestered user. So if unregistered users can't see a page, Neither can the mediabot. It used to be against adsense terms to have adsense on pages that require authentication, I don't know if this is still the case.
