Okay so I have a warez forum, however the homepage is just a page where new gaming news articles are shown. So am I safe if I have adsense just on my homepage? Here is my homepage: romcrazy.co.uk I've seen PSP ISO sites with adsense (on the actual forums), they have had it for ages and they hadn't been banned. So please tell me if it is safe to leave it there.
No, you are not safe. Adsense has been known to shut down accounts that use advertising on "safe" pages when there is content against the program policies elsewhere on the domain. See, for example, this post at Jensense: http://www.jensense.com/2008/06/24/adsense-going-through-major-compliancy-checking/ Just because others do it doesn't mean that it's allowed, just that they haven't been caught.
Thanks for that Guess I'll gave to get rid of it Does anybody know of a good alternative? Widgetbucks looks unprofessional with all that flash crap. (And here comes the age old debate) What's the best adsense alternative ? (In my case) I have tried: bidvertiser, widgetbucks, adsense, adbrite, freedomofads, creditburner, auctionads, textlinkads, and a whole lot of other bullcrap
Basically you are just taking a risk on your adsense account. If you don't get banned today doesn't mean it won't happen tomorrow and as you know, google will never compromise on such practice.
no it's not safe.. for alternative maybe you can try adbrite or even more sell direct ads for your web..
