    Hey guys,

    I'm planning to either announce or make an "About Us" page for my forum, and I'm thinking of telling the members where all the revenue earnt from ads will go into.

    Example:
    Is that still considered as "soliciting", or is that allowed?

    Thanks :)

    For sure, only google knows.

    But if I read between the lines, it appears soliciting, isn't it ?

    I don't think you will get into trouble with Google for that. However the only sure fire way you will get a reliable answer for this is to e-mail Google and ask them.

    As a general rule of thumb it's best not to even mention you've got ads on your site. ;)

    I would suggest that something like that is probably OK.
    But that's only my opinion.
    If you want the actual answer then email adsense support @ google.
