Hello, Right now I have a site about art with adsense on it. However I also have another site that is completely UNrelated to art, is it against TOS to use the same adsense-code on that site ? another question i need to have clarified, does the "google_ad_client" determin the publisher ? Thanks in advance
You can use the same adsense code on all the sites you own, and if you want to track the clicks setup channals
Its written well on thier site that if your site comply with google's policies you can use adsense on any site. Means your site should follow adsense policies, tos etc. The pub-xxxxxx is the ID that determines a unique publisher.
Thanks for the replies but.. isnt it possible for somebody to just use another persons code and then click on the ads ? then the original publisher would get banned for nothing.
Its possible, but you will be able to know the clickthroughs from adsense panel. Hence if you find unusual ctr rate, report it to google. They will take care of the rest.
My advice is also set up a channel for each site so you can monitor stats on each domain. You many also wish to set up several channels for a particular website. ie... 1) Forum 2) Rest of site 3) Ad experiments on high traffic pages Just to mention a few
