Hey,

I run a free web host and right now I'm using adsense for the main website and suspended pages (error pages soon too) but I'm afraid to use my adsense account for the ads going on user's sites because the other owner got his adsense account shut down by google when he did this for no reason. And I don't want my account shut down.

I tried adbrite but they denied me because they have stopped approving zones for free hosting websites (due to them being unable to look at every hosted account and check for adult content).

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks!

commission junction seems to be an option.

Microsoft Publisher is very good. I have been very happy with their service. (However theyre might be a USA verification restriction). I have never had issues with Google either. If you abuse or have users double click - you might be breaking terms. Google is however very strict compared to alot of others. I'd suggest not choosing Google long term if you have high usage and visits, since they do get strict. However, its best to have you questions ready before you choose, and ask them directly.

I would like ads that target the content of the site, not just the services I subscribe to.

The tos of Microsoft Publisher state:
"PROHIBITIONS. You may not:
*access the Service from any websites or other locations, other than Your Websites that have been approved by Microsoft;"
So thats a problem when the ads are going on other peoples sites.

Any other ideas?
