It is a forum about a particular subject, but I learned by reading this forum that it wouldn't have to be a problem. Forums are allowed to run the Adsense codes.
Anyone else have the experience of putting codes on other websites?
What have you done to make it legal?
The problem is that I don't want to be kicked out of Adsense programm for doing illegal things.
Might be a bit different if one of the websites is not yours. You might want to contact Google on that one.
As long as the content is good and the site does not go against the TOS I think you should be safe. Worst case, Google will not allow you to place YOUR code on Someone's Website, just have the other website register their own account unless you want a share of the rev. ;)
I hope this helps.
What have you done to make it legal?
If you have the permission of the other site's owner then that alone makes it legal. The real issue is one of control over content, and control over the site, which will end up affecting your whole account.
Some examples:
The site is a forum and visitors start threads about Google adsense and how by clicking on the ads, they give money to their friend running the site. Bad news!
Undesirable content within the site or breaking of the rules, such as a "please click here to make us $$$" Bad news!
It is all about control, how actively your friend manages his site, and how much trust you have in him or his abilities.
Forums are allowed to run the Adsense codes.
Forums ARE allowed to run AdSense, they just cannot be placed on the internal search result pages (although rumour has it that you may be able to place AdSense on internal search pages now.)
You do have to have permission to run AdSense on a site you do not own, and AdSense may be sticky about this. And if you get suspended for any reason, your friend will have his URL blocked from running AdSense.
And I agree with loanuniverse. If you don't have control over what people may be posting abot the AdSense ads, you could definitely run afoul of the Terms/Faq/Policies and get your account suspended.

although it is "legal" I would advise you not to do it!
I was trying it and in long term it is not working out!
if you want to do it then you must have really total control over placing and removing these ads - one solution for it is including (in PHP) external HTML pages that include code for your adsense.
don't do it!
Thanx everyone for answering my questions and protecting me for being banned.
