Newbie - couple of adsense questions.

[dp_dev]

1. Are the ads paid by click thru or per impression? Can I choose which I'd like?

2. I get a lot of visitors from China - don't know why - can I set it up to show them Chinese ads?

3. I have kindergarten classes on my site all the time, how do I make sure that I don't have any questionable ads coming in?

4. I send html pages by email to subscribers - can I include adsense ads?

1. Are the ads paid by click thru or per impression? Can I choose which I'd like?

Mostly per click, sometimes per impression. And no, you can't choose what you like, as a rule (nor should you, if you want to maximize income from your site).

2. I get a lot of visitors from China - don't know why - can I set it up to show them Chinese ads?

Google takes care of "geotargeting."

3. I have kindergarten classes on my site all the time, how do I make sure that I don't have any questionable ads coming in?

No.

4. I send html pages by email to subscribers - can I include adsense ads?

No.

Uh-oh What do I do about the kids that visit?

Although strictly speaking, you can't prevent 'questionable' ads coming in, if you see them on your site you can use the competetive ad filter to stop them reappearing.

If you have a significant children's audience and really expect questionable ads to be a problem, then using AdSense may not be a good idea--especially since clicks by kids aren't likely to convert well for advertisers.

I think it's probably less than 10% - if I had to guess - but really how do you know for sure?

Thanks for the help

One more question - can I use Burst Media and Google Adsense at the same time?

Yes. See the AdSense terms and conditions and program policies.

One of my niches is kid-oriented (although I get a lot a adults too). I've never had a problem with Adsense showing ads I would deem innappropriate for kids to see.

[dp_dev]

I have been watching them closely and no problem - all of the ads are very well matched to my site and nothing I would worry about kids seeing.

I can see two main problems from this. When you say you get kindergarten classes on your site, kids tend to "click click click" if the class are surfing the we on the same ip address then this will make your clicks seam suspicious.

Also if your site is aimed at kids then conversions will be very low. This may end up introducing your site to smart pricing.

The site is not aimed at kids but we do get them.

It doesn't matter now anyway, I pulled both Burst and Google ads today, I had a 30% drop in membership after adding the advertising - it just wasn't worth it.
