    I read at https://www.google.com/adsense/terms

    (About placing ads)

    point #5: Prohibited Uses. You shall not.........websites that contains any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal.......

    this is what I saw today on my site:

    [​IMG]

    publishers site can not contain adult/pornographic content but does this mean google can display ads such as above :confused: :confused: :confused:

    I guess they did not see that these are adult adds. Can you show me the exact URL where you see the adult adds?

    Google have published adult Ads for years - subject to the legality of the content. You just can't publish them on an adult site.

    I didn't say you site did have any adult content.

    It looks like the ads are just off topic.

    It's not against Googles TOS to advertise adult sites with Adwords

    In any case the displaying add has to match with the content of the website.

    You are right Dreamchaser i have to agree to their TOS to participate in Adsense. Take a look at another section:

    Do You think that is nice?

    Nice or not, if you want to earn money from Adsense then you have to play with their ball, I've seen plenty worse ads that that turning up on Adsense.

    I'm not sure you can, though I've never looked into it specifically. Try dropping Google an email if you're concerned.

    In this particular instance, I don't think it's such a big deal. I highly doubt there's any actual pornography on that site and "Adult Humor" can mean a lot of things. An R-rated movie can be classified as "Adult Humor" for instance. Family Guy can be classified as "Adult Humor", etc. In the US, "Adult Humor" doesn't always equate to sex and pornography. Just look at Adult Swim. It has nothing to do with pornography, it's just a bunch of cartoons that are targetted towards adults (like South Park).
