I realise that this may be a question only Google can answer, but thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else had already asked them about the same kind of thing, and what the basic reply was.
I was thinking about adult/mature content not being allowed, and wondered if Movie Reviews of ordinary movies shown at the cinema, but with an R (Australia) rating, or even some MA movies, could be classified as too mature/adult? They are not pornographic movies, just obviously not for children/young people for violence, language or sex scenes or whatever. The reviews are in no way pornographic either... but might mention the word sex or some violence or whatever.
So, has anyone had this kind of thing clarified?
Thanks for any help.
Anthea.
I would not classify that as adult/mature. I believe they mean the rating with the 3 x's
I think for anyone to possibly class clothed people as adult or mature content and wish to not show ads would be ludicrous.
Now naked people might be a different kettle of fish, but not necessarily so.
We were lucky and were able to get a interview prior to most everyone else. Page views went through the roof. We did about six pages,one page was a back-grounder on the geographical area where it took place. On that particular page we got nothing but PS ads. Went on for about a week, All of the rest of the pages had relevant ads.
We pulled the page apart and the only thing we could find was "virgin forest" that might trip the filter. We removed it and media bot showed up after nearly every page view but we still had the PS ads. Just pulled AdSense from the page today. Going to give it a couple of days and put AS back on. We may end up just leaving it off or try some section targeting. Seems "hurricane relief" is the only PS ad that Google has in stock at this time.
I don't know if that phrase is what killed AS but with five other pages doing well it's the only thing we could find. Oh, it's not in the main Google index, the other page are.
How do you manage to write so much content, or is the site 10 years old and updated daily?
Or are many of the pages forums?
Im curious because I struggle to crank out 10 pages in a week.
About 150 of the daily unique are returning visitors. With the majority of the visitors new they thought AdSense made "Sense". It did and does except for the PS ads.
What I don't understand is that Google shows Adsense ads for searches at Google so why not on content websites?
My guess is because searches are almost always manually initiated.
A person has to actually type in, "Hungarian sex slave" to receive relevant results. However, a Hungarian news website with an article that just happens to have the words, "sex" and "slave" in its content ...(where 'sex' = male or female and 'slave' = something referencing the African slave trade), will surely have problems serving relevant Adsense ads.
As a result, PSA's would probably be shown and I'm sure this hypothetical news site wouldn't want ads about true "Hungarian sex slaves" showing on its pages.
i personally don't think it is, but in america many do
Pics of bikini-clad women? I would venture to say that most don't think this is "mature" content. The government and the FCC regulates a lot of what's shown on television, but that's not an accurate reflection of what most Americans think. Google just seems to be following its on standard when it comes to serving ads on particular topics.
In fact, Americans love sex and skin on screen! Can't get enough of it.
Speaking of sex and skin:
pictures of girls dressed in hotpants, short skirts, and bikinis
YEAH BABY! Post 'em and sticky me the link!
We may end up just leaving it off or try some section targeting. Seems "hurricane relief" is the only PS ad that Google has in stock at this time.
The section targeting seems to have worked. The PS ads that have been there for a week plus were gone with-in hours
I really don't, but amazingly enough I got dropped from Valueclick for exactly that a Carmen Electra posters page is enough to get you dumped from Valueclick so I am extra careful nowdays, welcome to 1984.
wasn't that sort of clobber fashionable way back in the 1970's :)!
You need to get out more ;) This clobber is back in again!
