Not much content

but I have google ads on the pages

[Buttroast]

I've had google ads on my forum for a few days and decided to put it on my website aswell. Well the eCPM tripled and my earnings jumped.

Althought I have a somewhat small website it still has a few pages with content on them but I was wondering, does google get mad if you have their ads on pages that dont have alot of content on them?

Why has my CPM jumped up?

Should I take the ads off? If so why?

Have you read the Terms of Service?

They say "No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages".

You don't say how much content you have. If you have some content, which is enough to generate correctly targeted ads, Google will probably be OK.

If the content is so little that you just get random ads unrelated to page topic (if any), or no ads at all, they probably won't be very happy with you putting the ads on those pages.

Well all my pages have content on them but like I said that dont have alot of content.

But can anybody explain why my CPM jumped up?

That is the first time I have seen a workable definition of that particular TOS.
Now I come to think of it, it's probably Google's intention too.

It's often quoted as a way of defining MFA sites, but I suspect it has more to do with not messing up the Google targeting algorithm.

Maybe because your forum ads are cr@p payers? most are.
