Adsense or Traffic?

13 years ago

It all depends on what you're goal is. If you just want people coming to your site, then traffic. If you're looking to make money from your site, you might want to consider following Google's TOS. Although there are plenty of other affiliate programs that don't ban you from putting those types of pics on your site.

Thanks 4 the response Jacob..
Actually I am looking to do both.. Make money & get traffic. I did not think Camel toes pics were considered bad by them.... I still got amazon, linkshare and CJ.. Are there any other like google though with all this traffic that pays per impressions or clicks?

Thanks

Google does not tell you

They leave it up to you. But when they leave it up to you,
you better use your head. They tell you how to gauge it. They want ads on pages
that are friendly for every age. That means exactly what it says. Any age.

Not your age, not your comfort level.

Would you feel comfortable allowing the 5 year old boy next door to look at your site?

If you answer, "no problem," well, you are just like all the rest who claim they
get banned for no reason.

They want every site to be family-friendly, from your 1 year old to a 99 year
old women.

You don't see anything wrong with adsense on a camel toe site?
That's typical

Typical from people who are heading towards a ban

Gosh how I hate that

idiotic $#it eating grin.

Gee Dude you sound as if you want me to get banned? Wtf?

First of all I had no idea that a picture of a camel toe was considered porn. PORN to me meant nudity! But in this game as in life you live and learn.

WTF? Get real pal.

Contrary to your belief, I'm helping you out.

Just because you don't have "porn," does make it famliy-friendly.

Period.

Either believe google or, get banned. The choice is yours.

Our policy regarding adult or mature content may include any material that is not appropriate for all audiences. While this obviously includes full nudity or sexual activity, it may also include textually explicit sexual content, image or video content containing lewd or provocative poses, strategically covered nudity, see-through or sheer clothing, and close-ups of anatomy that would be inappropriate if shown nude. Additionally, topics such as sexual health and sex tips may be held to a higher standard of professionalism than content that isn't bordering on mature.

While it's not a sure test, we sometimes suggest that publishers ask themselves the following questions to determine if content is family-safe: Would I be comfortable viewing this content with my parents or children in the same room? Would I feel comfortable viewing this content if my boss walked up behind me while I had this content on my screen? If the answer to either of these questions is no, then it is likely that some advertisers would not be comfortable showing their ads on such content and we might consider it mature.

Google can't spell out every friggin example. So many people just shrug and later
get banned. Then whine about how google canned them for no reason.

You know what Paul I appreciate your help really. I only wish I had read what you just posted before I added those pics. Just that I was using Google Webmaster tools and kept seeing that one pic I had of Camel toe vs Mooseknuckle on my site as the TOP search week in and week out. So I figured it was ok. NOT! But as I said, if I had bothered to really read what you just posted I would have not added anymore. Yet I have to add that if it meant an average of 200 more visits per day to your site would you do it?

Thanks for your help ok?

Just learning as I go along.!
(by the way suspended it is not banned is it?)
- Thanks

Traffic is always the key. You can place the ads beautifully and can use some little tricks but without traffic, it is all waste of time. The best adsense alternative from my point of view is Bidvertiser, Adbrite, Speedyads, Chitika etc. You can try any of them.

Hi
The great thing about Google adds are that they are alway relevant to the site they are shown on. The trick is to make sure that they do not look like a gaudy ad or a banner. Integrate them on every page of your site.
