Google AdSense may take adult in the future?

[xlogger]

I got high the other day and send a email to google, hahahah. WTF was i thinking? I cant believe they emailed me back.

I used adsense like 2 years ago and its the best sponsor i have ever used. Paid me every single time and the ads actually match the site content perfectly.

Hi,

Just a simple question.

Why is it that google does not allow adult site? Sites like adbrite.com
is making a killing of adult sites like xxxxxxxx.com (not fully adult).
I would think adult sites could bring google significant amound of $.

thanks,
xxxxxxxx







Hello xxxxxxxxx,

I understand that you are disappointed with our current policies regarding sites with adult content. We apologize for the inconvenience. However, we have certain policies in place that we believe will help ensure the effectiveness of Google ads for our publishers as well as our advertisers.

Although we may provide this option in the future, Google AdSense currently does not permit publishers to display Google ads on pages with adult or pornographic content. To uphold the quality and reputation of AdSense, all publishers who apply are reviewed according to this program policy. You can review this policy and others at: https://www.google.com/adsense/policies . As we grow, we may find that we are able to expand our program to more web publishers with a wider variety of web content.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Camille
The Google AdSense Team

Doesn't seem like they plan on allowing adult just...they don't haven't disclosed the POSSIBILITY...

Damn, i wish google would allow adult. That would be the best sponsor ever! Anything google touches is gold!

[nnweb]

that will be good.

it will shoot their earnings up as well.

would certainly change a whole lot of things, PPC would be big again, like it was in earlier days of the adult online biz

how do they pay you? what i mean is like how exactly does their program work? commission? pay per click?

I didn't know they didn't allow gambling stuff.

I have a mainstreme blog with just one post about the odds on something and they refused it.

ppc will be really big

They are worried about their reputation.

They only created adsense because they had more mainstream add buyers than they had mainstream inventory (searches)

They have more than enough adult inventory to accomodate all adult ad buys!!!

Its pay per click. The $ you make depands on your traffic queality.

The ads are really coustomizable and sometimes the user wont ever know its an ad because it will match the content and the layout of the site perfectly. And since the ad actually reflect the site the CPM will increase dramatically.

PPC rocked, that when you can tell sponsors either knew how to convert or they died.............. There are still sponsors that pay like .04 per unique but they still want 1/1000 conversions now.
