Don’t Get Banned for Taboo Content

Taboo content — content that Google’s deemed inappropriate for all
audiences — is another way to end up on the bad side of AdSense.
Examples include content that refers to
1. Certain weapons, including guns
2. Illegal drugs
3. Alcohol
4. Tobacco
5. Pornography
6. Designer knock-offs
If your Web site contains these types of content, AdSense doesn’t want ads
displayed on it for one simple reason — image. Google, AdWords, AdSense,
and all the other arms of Google have an image to uphold. Placing ads for
goods or services on inappropriate sites isn’t the way to do that.
Google has to screen some of the Web sites on which AdSense ads will
appear. If you have a site that’s likely to be offensive to a large number of
people because it contains any of the content listed earlier, AdSense denies
your request to put ads there.
Some folks think it’s smart to put the ads on their site and then later change
the site and add disagreeable content to it — bad move. If you’re using
AdSense and the crawler finds this type of content on your site, you’re asked to
remove the content, and if you don’t, you can be banned from the program.
If your site contains any of the topics listed in this section, you might want to
look to other affiliate and advertising programs for ways to generate a revenue
stream.
