Ads behind login

[jukka79]

I assume that I am not allowed to put Google Adsense ads behind login because adsense crawler can't access there? Or am I wrong?

I tried to add a login for Adsense crawler under "Access and Authorization" -> "Crawler access" but I am not able to do it. I have Drupal 7 CMS and I created user account for Adsense but the "test login" seems not to work.

So is it safe to just add ads behind login even adsense crawler can't access those pages, is this against adsense rules?

Have you followed this instruction?

Yes, I did exactly that. But on Drupal platform, its not possible to login just using url parameters

Check the Drupal forum for help. In the meantime, you can put adsense on your login pages but it won't deliver targeted ads.

I already checked Drupal forums. I think there is no secure way (enough) to give permissions for Google Adsense crawler to log in to Drupal site and check the content on ads pages. So I think Google should have some other ways to let their bot "check the content" in protected sites. Currently I have ads on the open pages and log in pages also, but when users logs in, there is nothing anymore and most of the page views comes from protected pages. It would really rise adsense income for Google and me to be able to publish ads also in protected pages.

Has someone been able to let Google bot log in to Drupal ?
