No adult or copyrighted materials with Adsense

Nobody really has time and patience to read those small prints, i.e. terms and conditions stuffs. Although the font size of Google Adsense policy electronic version are no smaller than those in other web pages, and you can change its size in any browser.

Neither did I have time and patience to read, but as long as you have common sense, you should be aware, at least should ask if adult or copyrighted materials are permitted to use with Adsense.

Today one guy wrote in a forum, asking for help that he received an email from Google Adsense, warning him that his website violet Adsense policy:

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 http://www.samplesite.com/adultcontents.

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

As a result, we have disabled ad serving to the site.

Even though Google kept his adsense account active, let him review the program policies(https://www.google.com/adsense/policies ) to ensure that all of his remaining pages are in compliance. And warned him that if if further violations are found in the future his account will be disable.

The guy "read" the policies, and deleted adult contents in his website, and wrote to Google, then he received another email from Adsense team:


Thanks for your email. However, please be aware that because your site was
found to be in violation of our program policies, it is no longer eligible
for participation in the AdSense program. Sections such as
http://www.samplesites.com/music/mp3-download/
violate our policy regarding copyrighted materials.

As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to
place Google ads on sites involved in the distribution of copyrighted
materials.

As we can see when he was warned the first time, he actually didn't review the policies, and never be aware he had both adult and copyrighted materials in his site.

Vodafone Router Configuration for Incoming Connection and other Services

This post is about specific Vodafone Home Broadband Router configuration for Incoming Connection and other service on your home computer. This is not a tutorial, and will not be going into details of the services and router configuaration, I just want to point out couple of points you need to pay attention to. 1. Port Forwarding. Vadafone Router has its own name for Port Forwarding, it's called Port Mapping under Port Management category.The picture below shows that I set up web server on my desktop, I map my local address on port 80; and I set up PPTP incoming connection by mapping local address on port 1723.

Pricing information is missing or not applicable

One of Google Play Books "Needs Action" issues is "Pricing information is missing or not applicable",  this is caused by the payment settings, you have to set up "Payment Profile", "Sale Territories", and "Currency Conversion" if you sell your book to the "WORLD". Some authors or publishers spend hours to tweak the Prices setting when they add new books, and feel very confused and frustrated, this happened to me too. Then I realized that you have to set up your Payment Method first, adding bank account for your payment profile. After that you wait for Google to deposit some cents to verify the bank account. You have to add sales territories as well, if the territory is WORLD, you have to TURN ON currency conversion, too. You have also to specify the On-Sale Date, although its help tips (when hover mouse on the question mark ? ) says "Leave this field blank if the book can be made available for sale on Google Play ...
