Old vs. New Adsense code - BAN?

Hello,

I have large website, where i have old format of the adsense code. Its not possible for me to replace it manually by new one (too many files). Only to use some great tool which will make it. Which one?

Can Adsense ban me when i use old format code?

OLD format

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-9613257985537074";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "468x15_0ads_al";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "CCCCCC";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "000000";
google_color_url = "666666";
google_color_text = "333333";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

NEW format

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-9613257985537074";
/* 468x15, created 2/26/10 */
google_ad_slot = "1175532927";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 15;
//-->
</script>

Thank you much

 

why would they ban you using the old code? I don't get it. I'm sure not all sites are using the new code anyway

 

Yes, as long as you follow the TOS completely, you should not get banned.

 

Yes, thats true, thay cant ban old clients only because they did not replaced an old code by new one

Sid_who: Yes, thank you, thats what i wanted to know

 

Replacing all of the codes is the easy part. You can do that with sed and friends fairly easily in a couple of minutes once you know what code needs to replace what. It's setting up new units for your channels and dimensions that's going to be a royal pain.

 

joebert: um i have found only one sed and it looks like its some Linux app. I can handle only windows programs. Have Simple Search & Replace from rjlsoftware.com but this do not take that big code to replace. If nothing found, i will leave it as it is probably.

 

Oh mate nothing to worry, the new ad code is newly came, so mostly old publishers dont update it, so why will you get banned while the old customers dont get banned. So I think nothing to worry. Carry on.

 

There's a sed for windows. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm

 

no the wont ban u.
u should read gOOgle tos.

 

no ban at all

 

Where do they mention this in the TOS?

 

There are lots of sites which uses the old script till the time.

 

Yeah it's fine no need to worry.

 

I have NEVER switched to using new codes, I very much prefer the old code format, especially for adsense sharing since they don't have any personnalized information. But on all my sites, old and new, I still use the old code format and never generate ads from the adsense interface. So far so good, I hope they never try to end old code support.

 

Old is nice

 

Yeah, why would anyone want to use the new code? The old version is so much more flexible and powerful. With the new code you have to spend ten minutes flarfing around Google's slow web interface to change anything; with the old code you can do it yourself in ten seconds.
