Introducing the new policy AdSense.

As part of our ongoing efforts to increase transparency around our policies, we've recently launched a policy FAQs section in our Help Center to address some of the commonly asked questions that we receive from our publishers.

Some example questions in this new section include:

Part 1: Site content

Would an image of a girl in a bikini be considered adult content?

Part 2: Ad implementation

When blending ads to match in with my site, how do I make sure that the ads don’t mimic the format of the content without having gaudy ads?

Part 3: Mobile-related

Is placing a 300 x 250 ad unit on top of a high-end mobile optimized page considered a policy violation?

Part 4: Appeals and violation reporting

My account got disabled and my appeal was denied. Is there any way I can start over?

Our AdSense policies are in place to ensure that Google’s display and search networks provide a safe and positive experience for our users, advertisers, and publishers.  We hope that you find these new FAQs helpful and we thank you for helping us maintain a compliant network.

Google Publisher Plugin beta: Bringing our publisher products to WordPress.

We’ve heard from many publishers using WordPress that they’re looking for an easier way to work with Google products within the platform. Today, we’re excited to share the beta release of our official Google Publisher Plugin, which adds new functionality to publishers’ WordPress websites. If you own your own domain and power it with WordPress, this new plugin will give you access to a few Google services -- and all within WordPress.

Please keep in mind that because this is a beta release, we’re still fine-tuning the plugin to make sure it works well on the many WordPress sites out there. We’d love for you to try it now and share your feedback on how it works for your site.

This first version of the Google Publisher Plugin currently supports two Google products:

• Google AdSense: Earn money by placing ads on your website. The plugin links your WordPress site to your AdSense account and makes it easier to place ads on your site -- without needing to manually modify any HTML code.
• Google Webmaster Tools: Webmaster Tools provides you with detailed reports about your pages' visibility on Google. The plugin allows you to verify your site on Webmaster Tools with just one click.

Visit the WordPress.org plugin directory to download the new plugin and give it a try. For more information about the plugin and how to use it, please visit our Help Center. We look forward to hearing your feedback!
