Hello everyone! I've recently enabled my forum to display Google and Youtube videos, but it is also displaying adsense. Is this a violation? I don't see how it could be a violation if Google owns Youtube, and the videos are from Google. Any ideas? Thanks for sharing!
I would agree, sounds like there is no conflict there. Hey - if anyone wants a FREE Adsense website, just click on my username above, then visit my homepage
It's only a violation if your forum's "content" is nothing but Google/YouTube videos. They make it very clear in their fine print that their videos are to be used only on non-commercial personal websites/blogs. If your site is nothing BUT Google/Youtube videos, then you are most certainly using their content for 100% commercial purposes, and that can and will get you banned. The only grey area is if you use their videos every now and then. Do so at your own peril.
Well, thanks for the advice everyone... I decided to "hold-off" on opening a thread specifically for commenting on Google and Youtube videos and dispatched an email to Google! I can wait a few days to get it straightened out... I guess our "movie theater" thread to go with our Arcade is on hold! lol..
hey let us know what google say about this once they reply! i would also like to know exactly what we can and cant do with videos.....
