As far as I know, Adsense crawls your site so that it can send relevant ads. Is there any way you can use adsense for sites that require user-login to view the content? For example, is it possible to log the adsense crawler in by IP, or something like that?
Thanks.

You can, but I'm not sure how. I know of an artist who keeps her site user name/password protected yet still runs Adsense. The ads I see on her site seem very relevant. She doesn't even have ads on her visitor "teaser" pages. It's not until you log in and view the real content that you see ads.

dcabbar, i think you should use some kind of cloaking [webmasterworld.com] to achieve this.
But before doing it ask Google!

You could possibly get away with it if parts of the sites are not password-protected and the theme of both areas matches. You would probably have to get the open part well crawled first, though.
(I add pages to some sites and the ads come back on target even before the first media bot crawl, because the theme is consistent across the site)
