    Hi
    I was concerning about publishing ads on my directory.

    it has no organic traffic, all traffic are from other sites, also has many bot visits.

    is it safe to publish adsense on the site ? please post your idea ?

    Don't approve any adult, gambling or illegal drugs related links, otherwise I don't see any problem with it.

    Directories are an excellent venue for hosting ads. But, if you're not receiving much organic traffic, click rates will probably be small. All you can do is try it and see.

    Yes. I have Adsense on a directory since 4 year now and I didn't have and problems.
    But keep in mind - Tons of traffic brings the $$ ;-)

    Like mentioned many times above, don't allow things against the rules. But ofcourse, that's something you already knew.

    Better information is:
    Try selling advertisements directly from site owners. Your audience is purely webmasters (these days), the chance your site will attract many visitors is over. Webmasters are ad-blind, so those people won't click Google ads. That's why I would suggest selling premium links and advertisements in your sidebar. ;)

    Be very careful with copyright violation content- articles like- watch gossip girl season 3 episode etc etc

    or you will receive this mesage- Google AdSense ad serving has been disabled to your site

    also be careful of ads on areas without content-a problem if you have one common sidebar

    unfortunately I learned these things the hard way
