Hi there, I've notice that a lot of people is saying that you can't use AdSense in image hosting websites which is complete false but you have to have some considerations before.
The AdSense rules
AdSense is most likely the best system to earn money with ads and they also have a pretty long list of forbidden uses. https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms but to save you time, some of the forbidden contents are:
ImageShack TOS
imgur TOS
The simple how-to
If you do this you will be fine:
The AdSense rules
AdSense is most likely the best system to earn money with ads and they also have a pretty long list of forbidden uses. https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms but to save you time, some of the forbidden contents are:
- Porn of any kind
- Illegal content
- Dating websites
- Search engines
- Sites without content
- Sites that encourage the hate, racism, etc.
ImageShack TOS
Do not upload anything that can be construed as porn, copyrighted material, harassment, or spam. If you do, we will ban you, delete all your images, and prevent you from viewing any images hosted on the ImageShack Network. You own the content that you upload. Do not use Free ImageShack accounts for any commercial purpose, unless otherwise authorized by Imageshack in writing.
imgur TOS
If someone else might own the copyright to it, donāt upload it. Donāt upload gore, obscenity, advertising, solicitations, "hate speech" (i.e. demeaning race, gender, age, religious or sexual orientation, etc.), or material that is threatening, harassing, defamatory, or that encourages illegality. Donāt hotlink to such content, or to file-sharing or torrent sites. Donāt be a troll or a jerk. Don't impersonate someone else. If you do (and we will be the judge), or if you do anything illegal, in addition to any other legal rights we may have, we will ban you along with the site you're hotlinking from, delete all your images, report you to the authorities if necessary, and prevent you from viewing any images hosted on Imgur.com. We mean it.
The simple how-to
If you do this you will be fine:
- Write (or copy) a TOS page indicating that you don't allow that content and in this TOS add a contact email where copyright owners can send you a DMCA complain to take down infringing images.
- On sight, remove the porn that people upload... Note that porn is not the same as nudity.
- On reclamation, remove the copyrighted images.
