Hey Guys,

I have 3 question

1. I wanted to know if we are allowed to apply for adsense for a travel photography website. All the images would be taken from the internet.

2. If I am not allowed to do so, Is it possible to take a screenshot from google maps (Street View) and use them on my blog to apply for adsense. I think that nobody owns the right for such pictures (correct me if I am wrong).

3. This question is not related to the questions above . is it possible to advertise something on giant fb pages such as "I f--king love science" etc, doesn't matter if they even ask for $3000-$5000 for a single share?

    I doubt Google would accept an Adsense application for a site that scrapes images from the interwebs.

    There will be very less chances if your website has only image or less content. Second, using other's images without his or her permission is violation of copyright rule. I am not sure that you will get approval for adsense account with travel photography blog.

      Doubtful images are a problem. I started out with Adsense on a site that was mostly image based (100% unique images).

      The problem with OPs idea is scraping the web for images. I'm sure Google/Adsense will do a few search by image queries during the Adsense application review & find dozens of other sites that already have the same images (AKA: scraping the web).

      There's a difference between unique images & scraped images/content as far as Adsense policies.

    Why don't you use stock images? I don't think that you're going to get very far by using images taken from the internet. If you plan on using the Google maps images just for the application and then using scraped images later on, I don't recommend this. Google will catch up, and probably shut down your adsense account.

      Come on people. Enough with this fake internet stuff.
      Like, the world needs more of it?

      No offense, but seriously. You want to do a travel
      photography blog, but you have no travel photography
      of your own to use? You are not really out there doing
      travel photography?

      Why not actually travel, and do some photography?

      Where do you ever get the thought of using google images,
      or anyone else? Sure, you could just use google maps api....
      but seriously. You think google does not own the rights to
      screenshots?

      Travel photography blog. What on earth are you going to be
      blogging about?

      Stock images? ROTFLMAO! You won't know who, what, when, why, or
      how they were taken....
