    Hello I am a wordpress designer and coder. I plan to distribute theme with my adsense pub id. Will it be against the TOS of Adsense?

    Example:

    I design and code http://www.pixelnetltd.info/tech theme.

    And plan to distribute for free including the adsense id. If that theme downloaded 1000 times I can expect 10% of people will use the default one without changing the adsense pub id. So will it be against the TOS of Adsense?

    sorry for bad english as english is not my native language.

    Your main worry should be the people who will use it for porn, spam, and other crap that's out of your control.

    I don't think you should do it...

    including it isn't against the TOS persay...but like hein said...people may do things with that style that are against it...and then YOU are screwed for what they did...

    But do include a link to your site(s) somewhere in the code or template. No use wasting a chance for a backlink.

    I believe you should leave it.. with disclaimer stating not to use it in certain sites etc...

    umm lots of people do this right now.. theres even an adsense plugin that has a built in ID that you can choose to not show at a 0-100% rate


    up to you

    u should remove it coz adsense publisher account are not transferable among people. if people will have spam , false traffic , porn or adult content then there will be 99% chances that adsnese will track u
