so no new explorer is opening
(it is also know as google friendly popup)
please before you comment,
1) its not a regular popup
2) it wont block content
3) it wont block the ads
4) it is attention grabbing, but then again "not uncalled for"
please comment , i need your advice
I'm curious if you have had to change G's adsense code at all to make it work. The way I see it you'll be either escaping "quotes' or using an external file to load the ads.
In the former case you are certainly modifying the code = TOS not okay. In the latter case you are displaying adsense on a page (the external page) which has zero content...
dutch_dude yes thank you, thats exactly what i am going to do, if they approve it
maybe i will write another adsense ebook "LOL"
but seriously, if they allow, this should be one of the best things to happen to an adsense account.
birdstuff, i dont really understand the concept of that term actually, i mean isnt beldning it in text and making it standing out undue attention too (according to ur defination) or for that matter using images along side the ads.
i think what they mented by that term is, not asking people to read, or having a finger pointing at it and so.

I think AdsenseAdvisor explained that while blending ads with site content brings "natural" attention to the ads, things like pointing fingers and popups are there to prevent "unnatural" attention to the ads.
From the TOS and from what AdsenseAdvisor has explained, I would say it is against the TOS (or at least something that's not worth the risk IMO).
this is simply a small box, that will be there. thats all
i think in this forum i am allowed to put in such a url, but u can search google for
"hovering popup"
or
"float in popup"
to know what i am talking about
I reported someone with a scrolling AdSense ad to google once - it was gone the next day
According to AdSense program policies ([google.com ]):
No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.
The reason for this policy is that Google believes strongly in providing a positive experience for the user. We have found that pop-ups, pop-unders, etc. take away from the user experience.
Hope that clarifies, and thanks for running this by the forum first.

It's interesting because I've been surprised to find that google not only allows, but actively encourages publishers to get the adsense ads "blended" right in there with the content(i.e. having an article with a huge ad embedded right at the beginning and in the middle, or having ad links look pretty much like site navigation links, etc.)
Stuff like that on websites detracts from my user experience, and I notice for many users who aren't webmasters or technically savvy, they often don't even realize that they are clicking on advertisements because they are camoflauged so well.
I understand that these techniques greatly improve the clickthrough rate, and subsequently revenues for the publisher and for google but I think in the more extreme cases (allowed by google) it does detract from the user experience.
I guess I've been surprised by this because google itself has kept a relatively high standard and has remained so clean (keeping a clear division between ads on the top and right side of search results), yet they not only allow, but actively encourage their adsense publishers to use techniques that they themselves probably would never do...
While reading, if something like that comes in flying to hide the content. :-(
Plus, it takes its own time to move away even after after closing. On the whole it is not worth.
For curiosity's sake, is it working for optin purposes?
its not a popup for say.
it i have made some caculations and "irresprctive" of the resolution used. the ads will NEVER block or hide the content in anyway.
WEll, i forgot to mentionits not a popup for say.
Well the title of your thread says it all :) "Adsense in a pop up"
Even though you may not define it as the normal definiation of a "popup", if the Google Adsense team does define it as a popup (and from their response above, it seems that they do), then it would still be against the TOS.
Basically, I think Google wants publishers to blend the ads.. but not highlight them in any way that would artificially inflate CTR.

True, but with this in mind it surprised me very much to find out Adsense has no problems with spam sites that offer the user really only ads to click on as "content". Which would qualify as artificially inflating CTR as well..
Since I know that I've created a few somewhat spammier sites lol.

I don't think it is the case that adsense as "no problems" with sites like that.
There are many reasons why you may see a site like that with adsense running on it (including that they haven't gotten around to booting the site out of the program, or your idea of "no content" is not the same as Google's idea of "no content", or you could be looking at site in their their domainpark program which is different all together).
What you say is exactly how I saw it first. But Google really cooperates with some pretty spammy sites, helping to get them relevant ads etc.
or your idea of "no content" is not the same as Google's idea of "no content"
For Adsense as little as a few links and a pic would qualify as content.
If you are interested I'll sticky you a site that's almost completely adsense ads, very spammy. But Google gave that site a premium account, keyword targetting etc.

Without you (or me) knowing the full business reasons behind their decisions or what type of account this website has, it doesn't make any sense to say that Adsense has no problem with spam sites.
Just because you don't know the reasoning why they allow the site, or whether it is a premium site or a domainpark partner, doesn't mean they allow spam.
I don't need to see the URL. I'm just saying that everything is not always as it seems, so your statement seemed more like your were stating a fact of their Terms of Service rather than an opinion about something you observed.
