How to define "mature content"?

    Dear all,

    I understand that Google Adsense does not allow website with mature content. How do we define "mature content"? Are sexy(not nude) and bikini photos consider as mature content?

    Thank you.

    I'm not google and I am unable to define the term...
    However, I practise a rule of thumb, which is "Would I want my kids to view this content?"
    If I do not, I consider it "mature content"...

    That's right obenix: that is the correct question to ask in order to find out the definition, but there are lots of types of educations.........

    Personally to run it, then add a robots exclusion to any pages you think might be dodgy. If in doubt though, ask Google adsense, they are very helpfull if you approach them with a clear question.

    I reccomend the following test, when viewing the page in question, do you get tingely in your pants? If yes, then no adsense. :D

    Nice one! :p

    If you have to ask if it's mature content, then it most likely is, but I couldn't have said it better than Henny!

    google adsense itself advertises matured content
    I have seen them advertising "naked wallpapers" in many sites.

    "...do you get tingely in your pants?"

    Like looking at dripping water and you want to go to the rest house?

    Joke aside. Mature is very subjective. One can get married at the age of 12 in many countries. Can you say that they are immature?
