Is this navbar Ad placement allowed by Google?

(written by mikeo9043)

I have seen one or two sites that use this navbar ad placement on their forums but I never knew if it was allowed by Google or not. I am looking to place the ad in the red spot as seen below:

Please let me know if this will be against Google’s TOS.

Just added noarchive to all my forums

Whenever I log in to my AdSense Account I notice that more and more “unauthorized sites” show my AdSense Ads which mostly are Google caches from a different countries.

My allow list is full (over 40 entries) of Google domains.

That is why I started to rethink my approach on allowing Google (and other SEs) to cache my websites and I came to the conclusion that there is no real reason for a search engine to cache my website content.

My Server has a guaranteed uptime of 99,8% so not reaching my site will hardly if ever happen.

Besides cached versions keep visitors away from my websites.

That is why of today I set my websites to noarchive for all search engines.

I doubt it will have much effect on my rankings but that was the biggest con point in my considerations.

How do you approach this topic?

Link units are displaying the same keywords

(written by JamesColin)

Hi, it wasn’t the case before, I don’t know how long ago it was that the link units were displaying different keywords, so they could be placed one above the other (for instance as 160×90 blocks) in a sidebar, to make it look like a menu.

But now I see all three link units are identical, not only on my own adsense account, but on many (at least I notice it when the webmaster puts 2 or 3 link unit close to each others, because it’s easy to notice)

For instance, on a page about samsung, I’ll see 3 keywords such as samsung s3, samsung galaxy note, samsung galaxy tab in one link unit, and the same keywords in the same order in the other 2 link units..

So now it fails to perform as a menu in the sidebar, it just looks like one menu of three links repeated 3 times..

Have you noticed that too for yourself or not?

Making the web faster for all AdSense for content publishers

At Google, we spend a lot of time working to make the web faster. Your site is no exception. And today, as part of this vision, we’re pleased to announce a major boost in speed for AdSense publishers worldwide.

AdSense ads, like any element on a webpage, usually contribute to the time the page takes to load. Last year, we ran tests that showed AdSense adding (Resource no longer exists) to the time it took to load various pages from top web sites, so we set out to make this better.
