Pretty useful info Midlandi, thanks very much, rep added.

They will e-mail you to tell you if they have disallowed an ad for some reason. It could, for example, be due to abbreviations they don`t like, or misspelt words, or too much repetition. Not a bad thing when you think about it, better to have an ad that looks right.

I see.
Thank you for your post.
I would like to ask a question
what type of content about your sites for google adsense?
Can anyone answer my questions.

[temi]

any contents as long as its now adult should be okay for Google Adsense

[Mr. Brown]

adsense should not be your only form of revenue. not if you want more than to break-even on your site and time (opportunity costs)

[maldives]

Another good point.

* They do ban many innocent members without any warnings.

[OldWelshGuy]

Maldives, you do realise that technically they could sue you for that statement

Google do not ban innocent sites. the site owner might be innocent, but there will have been some sort of illegal activity on there. Sadly though, sometimes they get it wrong. BUT in these cases I have managed to get accounts re-instated for people PROVIDING you follow the rules of re-instatement.
