Is it Really Breaking their Policy?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by *Mayank*, Jul 20, 2007.

    I have been contacted by google pretty long before to remove the ads from this page

    http://www.teenhut.net/teen-sexuality/


    Just because of the url name?

    I thought we just dont have to put where its porn or sexual content, images maybe?

    But this is forum and its only gossip and chat!!

    And the teen sexuality section is just so in demand than anywhere else. I could put up some $$ there.

    Should I contact google about it to let me? Or they will think I am an idiot and wont reply ? lol

    Please check and anyone help if its no use?

    Take a quick glance at the topics your users have posted, then ask yourself again why Google has asked you to remove ads. The forum is for discussion of teen sexuality (i.e. sex), the fact that teens are discussing it doesn't immediately make it "innocent" and acceptable.

    "adult" content doesn't only refer to images; words can be "adult" too

    LMAO so now Google is trying to dictate what words we can have on our site? Next thing you know they will be disabling ads on sites that have cuss words. I'm sorry but that is just ridiculous. If your website doesn't have adult content i.e. images, videos, links to adults sites then it shouldn't be a problem. but this is just Google being Google.

    I certainly wouldn't want my ad being displayed on a forum that discusses sex. This IS adult content, just take a look at some of the raunchier threads on the forum and you'll see what's being discussed. Like I said before, just because teens are discussing it, it doesn't immediately make it innocent and okay.

    Is it? This isn't a freedom of speech issue because no one is forcing you to put ads on your site. When someone else is offering you a service for free you, at the very least, should abide by whatever rules they want. This just Google trying to maintain a business relationship with businesses that don't like working with companies that support that kind of behavior. There's nothing wrong with it or anything. Its just their ads, their choice.

    The topics discussed on this forum are far too steamy not to be considered adult. I stand behind Google 100% when it comes to their take on adult content.

    Yes, that would be against TOS.

    Exactly. That is Google being Google. They know they can pretty much do whatever they want because they have no real competition. So if in my blog I put two very adult words together, would I get banned? I know you guys will stand by Google in whatever they do, right up until you get banned. In this case this guy shouldn't get banned because of topics discussed on a forum. Google might as well require admin access on your forum and then post up rules dictating what your users can and can't talk about. Because that is pretty much what they are doing here. If they are going to be hovering over my forum, being a dictator and looking at the topics discussed, then no thanks Adsense, I think I'll pass.

    It's funny, you will never be able to fully control what your users post but I think many companies out there don't even care about that.
