    I was wondering, if we are allowed to display the ads in an iframe?

    due to some programming issues, I need to place my adsense within an iframe rather than display the adsense code on my page. is this allowed? the iframed page is still within my site and the ads displayed are still relevant to my content..

    I read their TOS, nothing mentioned about this, read their FAQ, there was one question about displaying PSAs, and the answer was because the page is displayed in an iframe causing irrelevant ads and PSA ads, but nowhere in the answer did they say that "this technique is not allowed"... I was thinking, if iframe is not allowed.. it would be mentioned in their answer??

    You would think the TOS would mention it... late in 2005 I put ads in an IFRAME and tested it on my mother's account. It lasted about 3 months and poof... BAN. The catch with the IFRAME is you have to surround it with relevant content to get the spider to work right and that can be construed as manipulating the all-knowing Google spider. You should not do this. Just let the Google spider continue to serve up ads on Pizza when your site is about Race Cars. BTW... I'm curious what programming issues would "force" you to do such a thing. My reasoning was different, I wanted to fix the problems with the Google spider. It was before Google introduced the content tags that it still seems to ignore anyway. LOL.

    Thanks for your inquiry regarding displaying ads in IFRAMEs.

    AdSense participants are not allowed to alter any portion of the ad code or change the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason, and thus may not employ IFRAMEs to display the ad code. In order to comply with our policies, please place the AdSense ad code directly into the source code of your content pages.

    We appreciate your understanding.

    The Google AdSense Team

    What are your programming issues that would require you to use an iframe? There might be a work-around to accomplish the same goal, but that does not violate the TOS.

    You can't place the ad code in a frame. I think they were talking about place the code only in a frame, which isn't allowed.

    You can use the frames in your site, but You can't place the ad code in a frame,

    thanks mjewel - that was the answer I was looking for :)

    Thanks everyone for their input :) there are work around for my problem but just thought I would save the hassle if its allowed.

    The problem was something to do with my css.. when I hover over a text and changes color.. the ad would flash and blink - I dont know what the problem is but removing the hover section of the css eliminates this...
