Will AdSense Ban Me?

    Okay I was wondering if AdSense would ban me. My forum has hacking contents. And is against their TOS. But they have AdSense on Milw0rm.com. Weird. Or can I do this? Like not put AdSense ads on the pages that has hacking content.

    My forum's link is http://www.whooked.com. Please take a look at my forum and let me know. What should I do? I really want to use AdSense.

    Thanks.

    If you site doesn't comply with their TOS, then they will ban you when they find out.

    I know that man. But I was wondering how Milw0rm.com has AdSense. And would I be able to keep my account by not putting AdSense on the pages that has hacking content.

    sometimes it takes a while for them to find violators to their TOS. there are a lot of websites to search. :) but if a site violates the TOS trust me they will find it eventually.

    I don't understand why you would knowingly take a stupid risk like that. Unless you goal is to get banned by google.

    Okay guys. I know that Google will find out eventually. Not a newbie. I used AdSense before and my account got closed because a spammer on my site repeatedly clicked the ads and Google thought I asked him to do it (aka click fraud). I appealed to Google and they didn't reply.

    So now I'm wondering if I could make another account and put AdSense on my forum except for the pages with hacking content. And I tried AdBrite (it sucks).

    Crap. Google didn't reply. I just got an automated message from them linking to their FAQs page.

    Any other opinions?

    hmmm, my advice is be careful :p

    I think it s better be safe and try to be on adsense TOS rules and guidelines

    btw: instead of H4cK3Rz z0N3, better change the subject of subforum and post "security advice zone" or something like that :p
    you can expose the vulnerabilities as same as Milw0rm do, but as advice to increase the security :p

    but better ask for support in

    You can try with other ads network. If you have duplicate contents then you should not waste your time with adsense . It is my experienced suggestion

    There are a lot of sites running AdSense aside forbidden content. They are all going to be banned sooner or later.
    Just because a site violates the ToS and get away with it, doesn't mean you should expose your account at risk as well. Right?
