Placing AdSense on image gallery pages - allowed?

Hi,

Back in the past it wasn't allowed to put the AdSense ads on image gallery pages.

My gallery will look similar to this page on this site, here:
http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Switzerland/West/Basel_Stadt/Basel/photo351306.htm

And I see they have AdSense on that page.

Basically, I will have an image and plenty of text, commenting possibility, data about the image.
The ad will not appear as associated with the image.

It's not a search results page, but a photo gallery page. I will have over 1,000 pages like this.

Do they allow this or are they against this?

 

Hi,
as long as you have some text then it should be fine. Traditionally a problem has been that ad targeting was an issue with pages which just have images and no text on them. So if you have some text and/or make good use of alt text then you should be fine. As long as you're not pushing adult images then there really shouldn't be any problem with adsense whatsoever.

Cheers,

Read Adsense Guidelines, Adsense is genuinely not for auto created pages and pages having very low content..

 

True. But there's nothing auto-created.

Photos aren't too thin, but I guess plenty of text would be needed. I guess I won't risk using it for now...

 

I'd definitely get clarification before placing adsense on such a site.

 

Clarification from whom?

 

Google Adsense team.

 

They don't have a valid e-mail address in the account, like they did years before. Google is more "untouchable", unreachable...
