I haven't written anything on here in a long time. Mostly, because I never made enough revenue. Recently, I've created several serial killer articles starting from a victim's perspective before getting into details about the actual serial killer. There's nothing x-rated in these, but you know there's obviously mentions of death and hacking apart with axes or poisoning. Would I generate ad revenue or would it be blocked because of this content? I'm trying to decide whether to publish them here or create my own website.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure if that content would be restricted for ads. I wrote one article about two murderers that I had met in person. It is published, but I decided it should not have ads. It didn’t seem right to me, but it was a personal decision.
That is a good question. I know HP writers experienced Google blocking ads for sensitive topics. I am sure Google address that issue on their site. You could go to their site and find out their policy on sensitive material.
I'll have to look for their policy. Google has blocked ads on my article about pussy willows. I assume it's the word "pussy" that is the problem. Unfortunately, it's the best known name for the plant and the one that most people would be searching on.
Oh, goodness. I hadn't thought about that kind of a problem! I hope they figure out their mistake and put them back. I'm sorry, that must be frustrating.
I see ads at the moment, we'll see if they stay up or not. I'm guessing there is no niche site for true crime to be featured on? I probably should focus on other topics if there isn't.
I'm sure it is a subject of interest, but I think focus on other topics is a good idea. Leave them there, but check on how things are going...
One got moved to Soapboxie, but I ended up wanting to write about other things anyhow. I feel that when I focus on crime, it makes me feel gloomy if that makes sense. So I wrote about dogs instead. It was a nice change.

I just posted this message on FaceBook. I am sick and tired of ads intruding on what I am trying to do. The auto-play audio ads are the worst--your only option is to turn off your speakers or mute your sound, which is not what you want to do if you are trying to watch and listen to a...

My experience is that in general gore kills ads. The rules seem to be inconsistent and sometimes an article with violent content slips through and then months later, or longer, the Google algo picks up a whiff of something it doesn't like. When writing true crime pieces I work hard at avoiding...

Is there some reason the Google ads are not related to the articles they are featured on?I was looking at my Coconut Bread Pudding article today for comments posted, and noted that the Google ads posted there were for Tree Trimming, Pesticides, and "Is He Cheating on You?" Aren't the ads...

to be advertised in (in question and answer) and not be removed, When in the forum section you cannot do this. So, is it okay then to promote anything of yours (book or website) as long as it is in Q&A section?

This is a two part problem, although I believe the first part may just be because of my browser.1. When in normal Chrome, forum does not load and is a completely grey screen. I can access "your" by typing it at the end of the URL. The forum loads normally when in Chrome incognito.2. When...

Why would this appear when I search for a forum post that I answered? "We're sorry, that question has been removed and is no longer available on HubPages." Under what circumstances would this be removed and who has the authority to remove it?
