Just had a quick look, and unless you have copyright permissions for some of the material you have there - ie the photos, music, video clips etc, then you are in breach of copyright law - therefore, Google will not display adverts to your site.

You also have an area that states that "anything goes" or similar phaseology. Now unless you are strictly policing this forum, there is likely to be all kinds of breaches to adsense TOS that crop up. From my quick perusal of this site - although it looks professional, and I am in no way criticising you, it does not seem like a likely place for adsense. I also suspect that adsense would not fair too well on this site. Your better bet would be to investigate other ways of monetising the site. Good Luck

Sorry - forgot to say, that mentioning your url in here is also a breach of the WebmasterWorld TOS. If you want to put it anywhere, place it in your profile.

Don't use someone else's copyrighted material on your site.

Can't believe it actually took 4 posts before mentioned the obvious. So... what he says.

I wonder... if my website domain is widget.com and this is where i post all my articles. Then i also have a link from widget.com to widget.net. Widget.net is my forum. Maybe "anything goes" in this forum and there are breaches to adsense TOS in Widget.net

Now, if i only put adsense ads on widget.com and not widget.net, am I OK?

I'd concentrate on the copyright issues if I were you - before someone else concentrates on your breach of copyright!

Secondly - for most people - adsense does not work well on forums. Perhaps Amazon would be better for you.

Quick…everyone remove your home page/website information from your profile.

Just in case someone here is looking for a new business to emulate :)

LOL - Its a shame that people do not list their websites in their profile but of course we all know why!

Dont you just wish it was not like that!

Im sure there would be some gems in WebmasterWorld for sure.
