Talking about your ads

I know Google is really funny about talking encouraging visitors to click on your ads. I run a forum and one of the users posted a question about it. I didnt want to avoid the question, does this seem ok?

He said:

I said:

 

Sounds good, I don't see a problem with it

 

i seriously think you should remove the "paying for my ads" part. it doesn't answer the user's question and it may constitute invalid clicks.

explaining what you did with the ad is fine, but i really think it's irrelevant to mention the paying part.

 

1) DELETE THAT THREAD NOW.
2) PM the member and tell him never to mention the ads again.
3) You should never ever EVER mention your Google ads. EVER.

If Google happened to be checking your forum now, and saw that thread, you will either be banned or be given a strict lecture about bringing attention to your ads. ANY attention is against the TOS.

 

uh jack, don't you think if thats the case, DP should get rid of the entire adsense forum?

 

Trust me on this, Devin.

 

Does google reads forums ?

 

sure. AdSenseAdvisor is a G employee who ocassionally drops by to give updates and answer questions.
