I don't want to violate google tos for adsense. I found and have been using a remote hosting service. Initially, the host had ad banner other than google adsense ads. Therefore, not in conflict with the tos. But recently the host has changed their ad serving to serve google adsense ads. I've done quite a lot of work and therefore hate the idea of finding another host and then re-creating my pages and all the content -- and what if the other host I find eventually does the same thing !? Others likely have this problem or will have this problem. Can someone advise me ? Ofcourse, I have requested the remote host to accomodate my issues, but they have not responded ... what if they never reply ?! It'd be quite a shame to lose my google account over something totally out of my control. Please help. p.s. does this forum welcome (and reward) new ideas to help the forum grow and /or prosper ? If so please provide the link. Thanks.
Ever consider paying for a host? You can find hosts that are virtually free and allow you to do what you want. I am not sure why you would let this be a problem for you when you can avoid it for literally a few dollars a month.
I see few free blog hosts display adsense on the pages where the authers AS also showing. But not sure if it violates TOS. Even if it does then both the accounts are violating. Which one G will punish for that?
It doesn't violate TOS, but If one account gets in trouble its not unlikely that the other will also.
Ya, it doesn't violate TOS. But I kinda believe they might be users who will click out of appreaciation for the service...
Not a problem, UNLESS.. the hosts google ads are on the same page as your google ads.. Google prohibits the displaying of 2 publishers ads on the same page at the same time. Different publishers on different pages of the same site is OK, and on a banner rotation or round Robbin is OK, but on the same page, at the same time is not OK.
They changed the AdSense terms recently that you can't show two or more publisher IDs on the same page during the same page view. Rotating publisher IDs is fine though. In addition, You agree that while You may display more than one (1) Ad Unit on each Site Web page, You shall not display any Ad Unit on a page that contains Ads associated with another Google AdSense customer (e.g., Your Web hosting company), unless authorized to do so by Google. So if you want to do it, you would need permission from Google. Why not just invest $20 in a domain name and a bargain hosting company?
Sure, but the potential problem still exists ... and its too late - i.e. because of format, tools, etc. I'd need to re-write ... i.e. lots of "work" I've already done.
Its never to to late to change The problem will continue to excist unless you make once the right decision changing to a new host that wont show adsense or any other kind of advertising ads. Like suggested before in this thread there are many cheap reliable host on the net that you can get for a couple of dimmes a month. Check the search button of this forum I bet you will find some really good onces. You dont want to stick to a host that shows his adsense ads on your website do you? Hell no you dont so why not once make that GIANT step forward change host. Yes I know it will take some time to get it all fixed again but remember the benefits afterwards. Think ahead.
Websites can be moved... I don't know how hard-coded your site is, or where it is or why you think it is impossible to move, but if it is, then that is even MORE reason to move now, because a free host is no place for anyone trying to conduct serious business. If you stay there because it is a pain to move, it is only going to get worse, and potentially cost you significant amounts of money down the road. It will likely never be easier to move than it is today.
I just had a look in my subscription list and guess what I found a thread about What host do you use? . Now it will be even easier to find yourself a better host and you can concentrate a bit more on the complex things you mentioned before.
Sounds like time to move to me, too. Free hosting may be nice for starting out, but if it's limiting what you can do to earn money, time to find some cheap hosting. Just remember that one of the advantages of paying is that hosts are earning money by selling to you, not to your customers. Moving is a pain; I just moved one of my sites because I needed more bandwidth, and moving databases is no fun at all. Are you stuck in their templates or something that makes you reluctant to move?
