Adsense on a site about Adsense

[knights1]

Is this illegal?

Thanks.

Short answer: no, it is legal and done by some members of this board.

Long answer: no, but be prepared for invalid clicks as people might want to try out the working of the ads by clicking on the ads on your page. So do not mention anything about the ads on your pages, even if the primary subject of the site is AdSense!

do you mean anything about my ads or anything about adsense ads in general? That would be hard to do.

Thanks.

It is not allowed to write something that would put attention on your own ads. So writing about AdSense ads in a general way shouldn't be a problem.

I you are not sure about a specific text you write, you can always email AdSense support first before you put ads on that page. They will normaly reply within a few days. My experience is that they appreciate it when you take their rules seriously and email them whenever there might be a potential violation.
