Adsense on Forums

[kodaks]

Hello everyone!
I own a forum that I would like to put Adsense on. If I put the adsense code in the footer, I won't have to add it to each individual page (there are hundreds). The only problem is, the Adsense code will appear on a login and register page.

Do you think this would be all right, since 99% of the rest of the pages have content? Or should I consult the Adsense support team? Thanks!

probably it would be ok.
Why it shouldn't?

If it's PHPBB then just modify

index_body.tpl
viewforum_body.tpl
viewtopic_body.tpl

This will place ads on the index, main forum and topic pages and not the "search", "register" or other pages that Google TOS says not to place ads on.

That would definitely be not adhering to the Google AdSense Program Policies, which says:

No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages. This includes error, login, registration, "thank you" or welcome pages.

My advice: Don't do it.

I would suggest that you put the link on the module where the messages are being written. If you are using SMF dont put it in index.template, instead put it in display.template.

This was once my problem, until i found a way to insert the adsense link after the first message of the thread.
