Folks help! I have a Gambling site but i want to use just

[asianguy]

one page in that site that's not related to gambling. I am planning to place Video and PC game links with google adsense in it. Do you think I am in violation of the TOS? I just need to use one page in that gambling site for video and pc gaming contents.

My domain name is obviously about Casino Gambling but i am not sure if i can use just one page or directory and place a different content in it without getting into trouble with Google Adsense.

Let me know please.

Thanks.

ask the Adsense support team as they are the only ones that approve/disapprove sites/pages. I surely wouldn't risk taking someone's interpretation of their terms on any forum.

Read the Program Policies. There's a link on the AdSense homepage.

Site Content
Site may not include:
...Gambling or casino-related content

Jomaxx,

There is no gambling related contents in the page that i was talking about.

I thought the TOS was only talking about the page where the gambling links and adsense are in the same page?

The domain name is obviously about gambling but i'd like to use just one page and put contents not related to the gambling site and add adsense within the page.

Does google disapprove the entire directory within the site because the domain is about gambling?

jomaxx: site content..site may not include
asianguy: But I thought they were talking about page content

It never ceases to amaze me how much people take their own intepretation and try to make it fit the TOS ;)

Does google disapprove the entire directory within the site...

It appears they disapprove the entire site. Do you have some reason to believe otherwise? (Is there something in the TOS that we missed?)

Jomaxx, i decided not to do it so that i dont have to worry about getting screwed.

Thanks anyway.

Google isn't completely consistent about what constitutes a "site." I asked them whether it would be all right to have non-permitted material at, say, taboostuff.mysite.com, with a link to mysite.com but no linkback from mysite.com and no adsense, and they said that would be fine. This may not help you right now, asianguy, but it's one way to set up future sites.

(...But ask Google first in case the rep who gets your email is less understanding than the rep who got my email.)

[asianguy]

Curiosity, if i were you i wont do it just to be safe. As you know, google TOS has been revised so many times.

[Curiosity]

I hear you, but if you've got an official email from a Google employee who says it's all right, then it should be safe. If Google gets annoyed, you can wave the email and say, "But you said...!" At the worst, they can only change their mind and give you a warning to take the offensive material down.

It is interesting question.

I actually saw couple times on some site in Adsense networ Adult and Gambiling advertisements.

Why Google still against placing Adsense on adult and gambling sites.
It would be SOOOO profitable for both sides.......
