GD Star Rating and AdSense

    Ages ago I read somewhere that the GD Star Rating plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/) (not sure if that was the plugin but I believe it was) and AdSense didn't play well together. I remember someone claiming it was the reason he was banned from AdSense. At that point I really didn't care since I never had been using that plugin. But now I do care since I want to use this plugin for my site.

    I think he claimed that each time someone voted the page where AdSense was reloaded. Honestly I don't remember much more than that even what I said don't seem to make much sense. What I'm interested to hear about is if anyone else have had or heard of anyone who have had any troubles using a star plugin and AdSense together on the same pages.

    Thank you.

    Never heard of it no, but it's true that there was and probably still is something about generating too many "false" impressions of pages and ads.

    I've used GD Star Rating plugin before for my review affiliate sites, haven't actually used it with any of my Adsense sites. I'm not sure if that's what would cause the ban, but to be on the safe side, I'd keep Adsense blocks off the pages where you're using the plugin.
