Minimum amount of content required for placing Adsense Ads?

Captain Dynamo · 05-24-2011, 12:34 AM

Gooday,

I don't know if anybody has the answer but I'm wondering how much CONTENT does a webpage need to have in order to meet Goog's requirements for placing Adsense on that webpage...

I have some webpages on a site that has less than 100 words on it... but very relevant information.... basically i'm talking about webpages that have the contact details of certain dealers or manufacturers.

So yes some of these directory pages are less than 100 words in length but I'm basically wanting to know if I'm breaking the Adsense T's & C's by placing Ads on that webpage.

From my understanding blank webpages are a big nono.

Sorry to be a bit vague but anybody has the answer I'd be greatful.

Regards,

Aki

Any takers? Any ideas?

You can go ahead and put Adsense on. As long as your content is relevant and useful. I have some pages with less than 100 words, and there is no problem.

Lots of picture sites have very few words, and Adsense on them too. Pics count as "content" too.

Just don't plaster the entire page with Adsense. There is a certain content:ad ratio which should be obvious the moment anyone lands on the page.

Like for example if the entire page is covered with ads and placed in such a way to entice clicks, this is just asking for trouble.

If you're worried about breaking the rules, why don't you read the rules?

This is how people get into trouble, asking questions like that, then acting on answers posted on a forum. Worse, other people read it then repeat it elsewhere as 'authoritative' answers.

Adsense Program Policies: https://www.google.com/adsense/suppo...ab&medium=link

Adsense TOS: https://www.google.com/adsense/local...t-resourcestab

There is no specific minimum number of words. Beyond being relevant, Google will point you to their Webmaster guidelines.

Yeah I read through the T's & C's and program policies but couldnt find anything, why I'm asking. I've also posted the question on the adsense forums.

Thanks for the answers guys... really appreciate it.

There is no such rules or policies, But i usually stick to 350 to 400+ words minimum.

There is no rule from Google you can get ads with out content or a little content.
