Tips for maintaining an AdSense-friendly Environment On Your Pages

Here are a few ideas on how to maintain an advertiser-friendly environment on your pages-


Here are some recommendations for ways to prevent your ads from appearing alongside user-generated content that isn't compliant with our policies:

Publish clear content guidelines and policies that your users will have to accept and adhere to in order to sign up and use your site's services.


If you own a photo or video sharing site where users are permitted to upload adult or other non-compliant content, clearly structure your content to avoid placing your ad code in sections/categories containing this type of content. The same idea could also be easily applied to online stores with adult sections or to classifieds sites which offer adult dating classifieds.


Ask users to tag their inappropriate content (e.g. sexually suggestive pictures or videos) as being non family-safe. This can help you perform human evaluations of potentially inappropriate content for AdSense ads. You can also try installing keyword filters for content related to adult topics, violence, or drugs, for instance. While we're unable to provide you with details about setting up these filters for your site, we recommend searching for terms such as "keyword filtering" or "content filtering" on Google.com.


Implement spambot protection for your comment forms, forums, and guest books. If you need more information on this topic, try a Google search for "spambot protection".


We suggest these tips to ensure that your existing user-generated content pages remain compliant with our policies:

Set up ways for your community to monitor itself. For example, try adding a "Report inappropriate content" link to your pages, to allow users to flag content for you to review.


Proactively review pages, videos, photos, etc. with high pageviews on a regular basis.


Spot-check content based on keywords, content search, or related user accounts. For example, try entering keywords related to inappropriate content in your own search engine and checking the results. Alternatively, you can search on Google.com using the following parameter, replacing 'example.com' with your own site's URL and 'keyword' with a specific word or phrase: "site:example.com keyword".


Create editorial policies and exercise moderator control in your comments, forums, and guestbook sections.

Expanding availability of local currency reports-AdsenseAdsense

Adsense been working to enable local currency reporting in more countries, and are happy to announce that this feature is now available for publishers located in Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Georgia, Gibraltar, and Norway. As a reminder, switching to these new reports means that all earnings generated from advertisers paying in other currencies will be converted to your local currency each day. If you receive payments in your local currency, there won't be any additional conversions at the end of the month, but you can still update your payment method and currency at any time.

If you're located in one of these countries, we recommend that you first download and save copies of your past reports in U.S. dollars for your records. Once you're ready to switch to local currency reports, sign in to your account and look for the green prompt in the upper right hand corner of your Reports Overview page. Click on the link, and you'll then be asked to agree to a new set of Terms and Conditions. If you have questions or need legal advice on interpreting the new Terms, please don't hesitate to contact your attorney.
