NEWS!

Hey everyone, decided to make a few changes regarded my blogging in the next few weeks.  As you might have already noticed, Google has decided to remove adsense on this blog because I did not comply with the policies regarding mature content being posted on the site.  Even though this was slightly disheartening, I decided to make a shift in my blogging which I think will benefit most of my readers!

I will still update this blog, but will now focus more on my other two blogs, the FINANCIAL one and also the POWER blog.  In addition, I will be starting another awesome blog about....

BLOGGING!!!

Lately i've been studying a lot more about finance/investing/books on power, as well as blogging, so i'll be dedicating writing for a new blog about blogging.  Make sure to keep tuned, there will be lots of useful tips that you can use to improve your blog(s), whether it be for pleasure or profit.

Anyways, good luck, looking forward to reading more blogs soon.

Please support me by checking out my other blogs, the links are above :)

Few Changes to this Blog

This answer was contributed by Wasaweb when I asked about mature content that disabled the adsense on my blog.  Don't worry though, the main difference is that I have to be a bit more selective when posting pictures of hot girls and make sure they are all SFW.

There are a number of problems.

Sites need to be family-friendly for AdSense. The unofficial test I always ask is this: would you let your young child / nephew / niece access to your site to read the text and see the images? If you cannot answeryes immediately, then it's probably not a good idea to place AdSense.

I assume you have received a notification disabling your account, rather than suspending ad serving to your blog. You can have a shot at appeal, but the chances would be extremely slim, since adult / mature materials are clearly against the Programme Policies (http://www.google.co.uk/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&answer=48182).

Turning on the adult filter is irrelevant for AdSense purposes, since you cannot host or link to sites with adult / mature materials. The filter, if you're talking about Blogger, is needed to comply with the Blogger ToS.

Luckily!  I told the advisor that my adsense had not been disabled, but there is still a chance that this blog will be permanently de-monetized.  Don't worry though, if that so happens, I will probably launch a website and figure out a way to make it even more awesome than before.

OK. A lucky escape that. To be honest, I wouldn't place AdSense on blogs behind the adult filter. If you have other blogs, then I'd concentrate my AdSense efforts on those, and seek alternative methods of monetizing this blog. If you want to place AdSense on this blog, then remove all unsuitable posts, and not place it behind the filter.

I hope this helps you out if you were wondering about any of this.  I'll be answering all comments after class, MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER TWO BLOGS if you haven't already, wrote some interesting posts earlier.

Quick Warning To All Bloggers

Q U I C K   W A R N I N G   T O   A L L   B L O G G E R S ...

Hey just want to warn you to make sure you do not post mature content (even non-nudes) on your blog or your adsense might be temporarily removed.  This was a warning issued against me for my "Hot Non-Asians Girls" post I wrote around a month ago.  Apparently after the end of October they found it and I just got the email today.

Unfortunately, I will have to put a "mature viewer" pre-screen before you can enter my blog, but I know that it won't be a big deal, hell if anything I can add more NSFW awesome stuff sometimes.

"As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to

place Google ads on pages with adult or mature content. This includes

images or video content containing lewd or provocative poses, or close-ups

of breasts, butts, or crotches."

So what do you do if this happens?  Don't panic.  Read the email, and make the changes to comply with the adsense policies.  Either that or you start selling your ad space to other companies privately.... But you are using Google's blogger platform so I am guessing that would violate their terms as well.  Anyways, here are some tips i'm writing below if this happens and what you should do.

1.) Know that you have three days after the warning to make necessary changes

2.) They have a contact link in the email which has a short form to fill in your information, Issue ID, and others.

3.) Review and make sure that your changes fit in with their policy.


Also just want to let you know that this is blog specific, and your adsense should remain active for your other blogs if you have them, but check your other blogs to makre sure that they also comply with adsense rules.

Anyways thats the end of my post, and the end of my warning.  Look forward to answering comments and reading more blogs later after work.
