Anyone who has a blog on Blogger.com, as I do, has the opprotunity to enroll in Google's AdSense program. Google looks at your site and if you qualify you add a bit of code that allows Google to place advertisements on your blog. If people actually click on the things you can actually generate a little income. So I thought, why not!? Well, the word has come down from on high and it seems I have "Unacceptable Site Content." So I checked their link to see what content they call "Unacceptable." They say:
Site may not include:
Excessive profanity
Hate, violence, racial intolerance, or advocate against any individual, group, or organization
Hacking/cracking content
Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia
Pornography, adult, or mature content
Gambling or casino-related content
Any other content that promotes illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others
Excessive advertising
Pop-ups, pop-unders or exit windows that interfere with site navigation, obscure Google ads, change user preferences, or are for downloads. Other types of pop-ups, pop-unders, or exit windows may be allowed, provided that they do not exceed a combined total of 5 per user session
Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages
Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, e.g., your site's PageRank
Gee, and here I was holding off turning this page into a neo-nazi hardcore strip poker site.
Google has every right not to include this blog in their program, but lets be up front about what they don't like about it because it isn't in the list above.
