AdSense in articles
-
It's frowned on. The site does its own advertising, which pays for things like servers, bandwidth, and the occasional shiny object to keep Chris happy. If you want to advertise, you get your own site. :)

Or at least do it subtly enough so no one notices :rolleyes:

I voted him down for even thinking about using those things. I can't stand those damn things! I like to scan the document with the mouse pointer as I read and those stupid things keep popping up all over the place. It's hard to read through those little windows that pop up over everything I'm looking at!

Who are you, the thought police? :suss: He was nice enough to ask in the first place.

Hi there, Just wondered if we are allowed to place adsense tags in our articles, or whether this is frowned upon? Thanks, Mike
I think it's a shame that you were voted down for asking nicely. :| BTW, the answer's No, as has been pointed out. :)
Cheers, Vikram.

These are all wonderful tools that help the CP'ing experience ;P

(1) Did I say otherwise? No. (2) They don't help me - when it comes to browsing, I'm strictly Microsoft-Centric, like CodeProject, and they don't work with Internet Explorer. (3) It's still an advertisment according to dictionary.com: "a public promotion of some product or service".

"*" means that conditions apply. It means you should look the the matching "*" later in the document to further define the statement.

Yeah an open ended "*" is different from the closed one (*xyz*) lol.. Hey I was just kidding! didn't I? :( common brad, I didn't guess you'd give me the exact meaning of a *. :sigh:

Thanks, kind of getting that vibe. No idea what being voted up or down means, but appreciate it.

I really, really don't understand these rules.

I see your, quite literal, point, but IMHO, I think ads (or rather links) for your own stuff in your sig is one thing, since they aren't instrusive, Ad Sense ads and the like, however, are probably a step too far. :~

Not intrusive? Ads in signatures are, first of all, usually off-topic - which means, literally, that they are intruding on the conversation. Secondly, they tend, in many cases, to be more colorful, bolder, and/or take up more screen space than the posts - see, in this very thread, the signatures of Kreskowiak, Shog, Punathambekar, Clifton, Brad, and even your own. This makes them distracting, and whatever distracts intrudes on one's concentration. Finally - just in case you're not convinced - take a look at these: Bright and beautiful[^]. Colorful and animated[^]. Nicely centered[^]. Literary[^]. Simply Elegant[^]. Wide Character String[^]. Retro[^]. Not intrusive?

Well, yes I see what you mean, but while you or others may find some sigs annoying, for the most part, the style and content of these are just extensions of peoples personalities, which as I mentioned, is one thing. Sigs can be ignored while reading articles/posts (because they're at the bottom), Adsense and the like tend to form part of the article/post, so cannot as easily be ignored, I think alot of people on this site would find it highly irritating to have advertising like this in articles, myself included :). Like I said I see your point, but I don't really accept the double standards argument, call it a fine line if you like, but even so, it's a very tangible line.

True, but I can easily find whatever you want to reveal about yourself in your profile. So why should I be slapped in the eye with unwanted, distracting, intrusive, and redundant information in every post?

Tangible, yes. Reasonable, it is not: In a thread about fruit, "I like apples. | Our compiler [^].", is acceptable. In a thread about programming languages, "Our compiler [^]. | I like apples.", is not. Nonsense!
