[BUSINESS] Fucking big G

[HeidiHoe]

Google disapproved Adult Swag to run AdSense. For christ sake it's a damn t-shirt shop! Reason is adult content. There's no porn nor porn links anywhere on the site. Fucking youTube has more colorful language. WTF!

Here I thought I'll do something more mainstream. Am I so jaded that I no longer recognize what's considered to be adult content when I see it?

Can you contact them ask why it was not approved?

Reason is adult content. Only adult content is the design names. I'm not gonna change that for the sake of running adsense. Screw that.

But there is no nudity there

Nope, zero

[jlinkz]

It has to do with the fact the content is geared towards adult , but Google is being too picky as usual in your case.

That is nitpicking by Google. Even kids today know and use all those words.

That's what I thought too. I did pretty good with AdSense on a site years ago. Since I still have the account I thought why not add a couple ads to the site but fuck no, I guess not!

I'm curious if Bing's Adcenter will allow it. There would be cheaper bids and less competition, too, which might not be better compared to Google for your amount of CPC/CPM earned, but any % is better than 0..

I did a few CPC tests with bidding on search results in the past with Bing, too, and liked that more than Google, profit was a little higher on the products I promoted, too.

Very interesting thought colmike7. I have to go read their TOS you have me curious now.

Google is throwing it's weight around because they know how far they can go. I just wish they had real competition.

That is how it goes, the powerful do what they want

[Wm2man]

Not to tick you off but if they have a non-adult policy those would violate it, and they do on the Adsense.

I say Fuck G all the time, it is all I am doing trying to make sure my sites are in good standing with Google.

I know the frustration of some of you, Google is a hard nut to work with on so many levels.
