    Just now visited some adsense sites and i found its weird for a site with 90% non english contents to display 3 blocks of adsense full with good paying ads and sometimes not related to content at all. Here what i found after view the site codes:

    google_ad_client = "pub-xxx";
    google_page_url = "keyword1, keyword2, keyword3 and so on";
    google_ad_width = 160;
    google_ad_height = 90;
    google_ad_format = "160x90_0ads_al_s";
    google_ad_channel ="";
    google_color_border = "999999";
    google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_link = "000080";
    google_color_url = "999999";
    google_color_text = "000000";

    Is it legal to manipulate keyword like this :confused: ???

    it is not legal but in specific cases if you are not getting related ads on your site you can contact google and ask them if it is ok to use this line

    As far as i know it's not allowed to change the code. So don't do it.

    I don't think this could be legal in anyway.

    It's against the TOS which clearly states that you can't modify the code in anyway (HOWEVER, you can modify the color codes... but that's about it). I wouldn't suggest manipulating the keywords at all since it'll get you banned

    noted that, thanks all for your reply :) and today i found the site owner already removed the keywords from his/her website.
