Am I the only one...?
« on: October 09, 2006, 10:26:58 PM »
Am I the only one who has been seeing those annoying messages on the forum about not being able to view the page? These messages come up as posts, and I seem to remember that while I was of n00b status they haunted me, but afterwards they stopped. Can anyone tell me why I'm seeing these messages again?

Can you take a screen shot of what you are seeing, and then post it as an attachment?

Oh yeah and only for the last couple of days.

I think the board itself is trying to speak to us.  It just can't come up with the right words.  :-o

I don't see them anymore.  The one in this thread is gone.   Also if you tried to quote them there was still nothing to see.

I saw them for awhile and figured Chris was just screwing around with some new wazoo settings.

I finally got an answer back from Google AdSense as to why ads have been banned on this domain:

Quote
Hello ,

Ad serving was disabled to your site as a follow-up to an email that was sent to you on July 7 notifying you that your site was in violation of AdSense program policies. Because the requested changes were not made, ad serving was disabled to your site.

I apologize if you did not receive this email, and I've included a copy below for your reference. Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Winnie
The Google AdSense Team

Original Message Follows:
------------------------

Hello,

While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as www.geekforum.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=7e538a9aa052bc5d0292e520a4eabf3a&topic=1734.0.

As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on pages with adult or mature content.

Please make any necessary changes to your web pages in the next 72 hours.
We also suggest that you take the time to review our program policies
(https://www.google.com/adsense/policies) to ensure that all of your other pages are in compliance.

Once you update your site, we will automatically detect the changes and ad serving will not be affected. If you choose not to make the changes to your account within the next three days, your account will remain active but you will no longer be able to display ads on the site. Please note, however, that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

With the volume of email that I get per day, it's no wonder why I didn't see it. To make a short story shorter I "fixed" the problem.

Heh. That NSFW section is going to make it hard to monetize this forum, especially considering forums tend to be difficult to monetize in general. Still, there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to make a little money of this place. I’d check out Earners Forum, it has some good info on monetizing sites.
