im confused with this one

images of topless women

[bbunlock]

ok I am realy confused about this one, I have seen a number of sites that have adsence on them and they are for mobile phone wallpaper and there are lots of images of topless women.

now I was under the impression that google ads would not be allowed on those pages becuase of the women being topless? dont get me wrong they are not what I would consider adult images but topless is topless none the less.

I could have sworn that the google tos, t&c forbid the use of google ads that had this content or is topless mobile phone wallpaper considered ok by google?

any ideas?

Got a feeling that website has a rude awaking coming to them.

I very much doubt it as they are both very big players in the mobile phone game and have had google ads on them for as long as I can remember?

im sure its more a case of the big sites getting a little extra benefits from google because of the traffic they produce and the money that must be earned for them and google.

if they were gonna get wrong for it im sure google would have done it a long time ago.

Apparently you haven't read the newest banned thread today?

I reported 3 of them just now.

It doesn't necessarily matter about the content of the pictures (topless or otherwise) - Adsense state that they do not allow image download sites as they don't want to be implicated in possible copyright issues...

also - if you're confused about images of topless women you might possibly be in the wrong forum :)

I'm sorry, I just can't stop myself from saying this...

After you report this site their AdSense account will go TITS UP!

Whew, I feel better now.

incrediBill,
with that kind of timing and content you should be in panto...

well first of the comic replies were realy funny, and second I just find it strange that just about every mobile phone site I visit has adsence on it? and as you all know your site is veted for aproval so they wuld know about the wallpaper?

just strange very strange, this is a couple of things from the adsence policies thats says sites may not contain

Excessive profanity
Pornography, adult, or mature content

well I guess that mobile phoen wallpaper of topless women would fall under the mature content section?

dont get me wrong I dont find anything wrong with the images on those sites (I am a bloke after all) but just find it strange as like I said there site would first have been checked out by a google employee before being accepted?

I am not having a go at the sites in question the main rason for asking is that I had a wallpaper section on one of my sites for mobile phones that had the same kind of images but I removed it from the site before I applied to adsence, thing is if google is allowing it then I could have kept it on the site?

And also as I mentioned above just about ever phone wallpaper site I visit has google on it, and one in particuar is JUST a mobile phone wallpaper site so I find it hard to believe that google could have missed that when they reviewed the site for aceptance?

Keep in mind that the site you see with adsense on it may not have been the site that was used when applying for the Adsense account.

The publisher could have submitted one of their other sites, and then added the adsense code to the mobile phone site after their account was accepted.

It is possible that Google hasn't manually reviewed this mobile phone site yet. Many publishers have more than one site (even large corporate publishers)

No, it's the right forum. He just wants a different thread ('gay ads on a furniture site').

Ann, before you report any more sites with topless women, could you sticky me the URLs?

I'm not confused :-)

Google only reviews your first site for acceptance.

After being accepted you can splatter AdSense on every site you have just like Johnny Appleseed running amok planting orchards in the forest for the few coins they would bring.

I think part of the deal is the context. In other words, the same pictures on an adult oriented site would be considered bad, but on a wallpaper site they might be considered OK.

I have a couple of words and phrases that are used as genuine names for the widget I sell. They have been in use for years in the industry. These are definitely NOT the sort of words you want to teach your children, yet if your children went into Wally World they might spot those words. (How else do you think they learn them?)

So, on one page where I present a widget, in big bold letters is a bad word. AdSense has never questioned my use of that word. It is the proper context for the product.

Oh no he shouldnt!

[bbunlock]

thanks for the replies folks, I think I am going to have to go with grandpa on this one becuase even though they are images of topless women they are not what I would consider adult images and therefore google allows them in that context.

I still dont want to take the chance of putting the ones I had back on one of my sites though (better to be safe than sorry)

Try to answer on this:

Is the perfect beautiful painting of nude women is a adult or mature content?

Porn is porn.
Adult is adult.

Nude could be informative, sensual, educational, artistic or whatever else.

Topless woman if you ask me would be allowed
but according stupidity of Adsense TOS is not.
