Adsense within an iFrame

what's the rule?

Dillema:

On a Content Management System I'm setting up, I need to (or rather, really really want to) put set aside one of the "blocks" for adsnese.

The problem is, the Adsense scripts violates all kinds of internal rules within the CMS software. So, my solution to the propblem is this:

Set up a static page, with apropriate and relevant keywords, with the adsense in the top left of the page.

Then call that page from a simple iFrame to the inside of one of the CMS "blocks".

The CMS doesn't have a brainfart at this.

But I'm wondering if it would be treading on thin ice with the Adsense TOS. I didn't see anything specifically saying "Don't do this" within the Adsense TOS, but I'm suspiscious it falls dangerously close to "cloaking" - even if I'm doing it in a way that would only deliver ads that are relevant to the site.

Anyone got any thoughts? Anyone gotten grief from the G for trying this?

Oh, and yes, I realise that there is a strong possibility for abusing this type of system. While that isn't my intent, I don't want to come to grief for shady practices.

You can use an iframe with no problems, but do not try to add keywords to the page you place the adsense code in!

An iframe is 'transparent'; meaning that the referer sent to adsense's services is not the iframe src but the page you are currently viewing!
Therefore the ads will be relevant to the page the iframe is inserted in.

Create a static page with the adsense code in then, in your CMS, add the iframe with src pointing to that page's url and you're all set.

ok, good to know.

Put the "Content Management System" in the garbage.

Most CMS are created by simple minded programmers not able to think beyond the own coding.

That would be my description of the software I'm dealing with.

It is not, however, my decision.
