View Full Version : AdSense and site content

I have three primary sites that use Google AdSense and bring in $XXX per month in AdSense revenue. As my sites increase in popularity, I am becoming more concerned about messing up with Google and getting removed from the AdSense program for whatever reason.

Two of my sites host images. One is a general image host (free) and one is strictly an avatar host (also free, but with registration required). Does anyone know if Google does not like image hosting sites? In their TOS, they do mention that they do not want pages thet display "image results", but I am not sure what exactly they are talking about.

My other site is a popular female celebrity site which displays photo galleries of celebrities. There are no nude images on the site.

I have already asked Google to review my sites, but it may take a couple of days to hear back from them, so I was hoping to get some quicker feedback here.

Thanks!

I am ot sure so don't take my word but I have a feeling that they are not reffering to your type of site but rather dont want 'image results' as in websites that compete with their images.google.com - I'm not sure but makes sence rite?

I submitted my request to have the sites reviewed this morning, and I was surprised to hear back from Google this afternoon. Honestly, I was worried that they would find the celebrity picture site to be unacceptable, but I had nothing to worry about after all.

They told me:

"I've reviewed your three sites and found that at this time, they are acceptable by our program policies."

If you want to know the sites, please PM me for the URL's. I do not want to post them here and then get in trouble for spamming.

Post anyway. It's relevant. You need to be doing something quite excessive before being accused of spamming.
