Hey YTTalkers!
I would love some insight into whether or not Adsense is worth it for kids-type channels. And if any of you have experienced this (what the Google Adsense Forum Expert says)...Here's the story...
I posted in the Google Adsense Forum asking how-to stop or minimize inappropriate ads on a kids or family channel. For instance, one of our friends watched one of our videos and a Dating Ad appeared. We have the sensitive topics stuff turned off in Adsense, so I was looking for more insight...
Well, here is the reply from the Google Adsense Forum Expert...
"This is the problem with using AdSense with anything child oriented. For one, your audience is incapable of fulfilling the business goals of the advertisers. If they click on an ad, they cannot buy anything so they are going to generate a lot of invalid activity on your account. That's typically terminal and ends up with your AdSense account disabled for life.
For two, you're seeing the problem of using a generic ad broker on content that has sensitive viewers.
I suggest removing monetization before AdSense does it for you."
So...Do any of you know if this is good advice? Should kids channels not have ads? Will you get suspended for your viewers clicking on ads, but not buying? Have you used alternatives to Adsense?
I'm really interested in hearing from you guys, especially Kids Channels.
Thanks!
