Hi guys, I've started a blog (blogger) with content of men photos (male celebrities, hot men shirtless, men in briefs...and no pornography) and I was successful accepted from Google Adsense to put ads on my blog. My blog still not reach the payment limit, so of cause I haven't received money from Google yet, and this is my first time to try with Google Adsense. I have some questions: - For the content of my blog, sometime I embedded video (from youtube only, until now) with gay kiss scenes (no sex scene, no nude) (for anyone hate this, just forget about it). Do you think that Google will accept this? - I added my link to some gay sex directories and do reciprocal link to them (I've got their links on my blog). Do you think Google will permit for this? And if just after I have accepted submission from these directories, I remove their links, do you think Google will know? And if they know, will they ban my account? Thank you for your help! John
I don't know about the kissing scenes - I don't think that would be a problem, but it's probably in the eye of the beholder whether that's considered "adult" or not.. However, there may be a problem with your links to sex directories, since the rule is that you aren't allowed to show or link to adult content. Here is the rule: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=48182 https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105957 The last bit is what is important - is your site "safe for work"?
Thank Nonny for your advice. I've got answer for the first question from you and I think my blog is safe. For my second question, yes, I read Adsense's TOS thoroughly before doing this. And I understand your point. Actually, I referred to some blogs (for example gaybodyblog.blogspot.com => no worry, content of this site is safe for everyone, I think). This blog contains a lot of sex links both for exchange and directory reciprocal links and they still put the Google Adsense. Do you think they just put to fill their blog's space? And even more, you know, the e-reference they used. This widget shows the most reference links to your blog and I think this is out of your control. Or you'll never use it, or some adult sites (blogs) will refer to yours and their links will appear at the top of e-reference list. I wonder how Google Adsense can solve this problem?
I saw many blogs or web sites are not in conform with Google Adsense TOS. If Google found them, they will be ban.
