is addsense allowed on informative sites??

hey guys,

i have some basic poker informational sites about poker professional players, would it be in violation to put adsense ads on it? Does google allow it?

thanks.

 

Maybe yes, Maybe no. It's "related" which is the exact word used in the Policies when describing what you can't put Adsense on. But, do you know who DOES know the answer to this question? Google Adsense Team. Fire off a question to them and let us know what they say.

 

Good Adsense can give you exact answer. Personally I would say NO

 

I wouldnt have thought so.

 

I believe it should be ok because you are not offering a website where people can play poker. You just want to create informative contents to show people how they can play better. There are millions of article around the web where they talk about poker and gambling and they have adsense code in their site.

I think you can..But you had better contact Google customer service...

 

so...i can have adsense on a site that tells you how to grow marijuana, as long as i'm not selling it?

there are a million warez and porn sites that have adsense on the site.doesn't mean it's ok.

 

Thanks a lot guys for all of yours reply.

so the answer is 50-50. yes its information based site. so possibility is there to put adsense, i also thought so. but i would like to confirm 100% before i start off.

So please tell me where exactly do i need to write to "Google customer service" for adsense? any email?

Thanks.

 

i fail to see a grey area here.

what part of it don't you understand?

you can email them,but they'll just tell you to read the program policies.

 

Yes exactly, just go through their guidlines and TOS. or else just mail them and check with yr queries.
Good luck.

 

If this helps, a quick search on google shows no poker related advertisers anyhow:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=poker&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

however, adsense sandbox shows this:

http://www.labnol.org/google-adsense-sandbox/

So there may be some hope, and I don't see why any page that isn't porn or illegal stuff or warez would ever be off limits anyway???

Unless, is there something Google doesn't like about poker?

edit: type poker in adsense sandbox, url is not encoded with the terms :x

 

I'd say 100% no, personally i'd have thought there was better money to be made from referal links to poker sites anyway ?

 

hey thanks guys for all of yours suggessions.

thanks a lot

 

this is adsense has good sense, no need to addsense
