Best Practice For Designing Sites For Others

soggyindo · 01-13-2009, 11:51 PM

I tried to check google's TOS, online, and here, but no accurate answer seemed to come up.

Basically, I want to know the 'best practice' (totally Google TOS compliant) way to design websites for other people where they want to eventually have adsense running.

In the past I have used my own ad codes when designing sites - because it takes some juggling to see what works well, with size, color, format, etc.

Then I've asked the owner to generate similar ads - from their own adsense account - to my size, color, etc specifications. They send me the codes, and I install them in their sites for them (many clients can't do the first part, much less the second installation part).

I have since read that this may be a TOS issue - because my ads have once run on their domain (even for just a week or two), I might be flagged as having multiple accounts, or our accounts might be seen as linked. Which is bad for me if they later turn out to later do something against Google's TOS.

So - basically I'm looking for a 100% TOS compliant webmaster way to layout ads for other people's sites, without using my codes, and that doesn't totally annoy clients!

Well you can use the adsense code without pub id, can't you ? I think still ads would show up and since there is no pub ID i dont think anyone account would be in danger.

well that's what i thought - although it still links back to the google ad slot where it can get updated...

TOS explicitly states not to change the code - and deleting publisher IDs is changing the code..?

it sounds paranoid, but i'm after the safest possible way to do this - and to recommend to others, too

Well I guess asking Google would be the best way about using the code without pub ID. I would like to know their answer. Technically I don't see a prb since we wont get any clicks counted but Google might think differently.
