---- What is considered "adult" in the eyes of Google AdSense?

I think martinibuster brings up a useful idea - using the strict safe search on topics and see if there are natural listings on the topic - if there are, it would be safe to run ads on those kinds of pages. Anything outside of that could be a judgement call. Interesting about those adwords though.

Another test would be to put the content up on a test page, before launching it live (with links pointing to the page). Since all AdSense ads are put through a check for "family friendliness" first, if you see ads exactly targeted to the same subject your page is about, you are probably safe to be running AdSense on those pages.

That said, I have seen AdSense running on all manner pages that could not be considered "family friendly" by ANY stretch of the imagination. So there doesn't seem to be a trigger in AdSense that alerts them if specific adult keywords are on pages running AdSense, but it must be a case of needing someone to report the publisher to AdSense before they are aware of the ads on adult content pages.
