You Can’t Say You Haven’t Been Warned
This post is dedicated to all my readers who have Google AdSense on their websites … blogs or "traditional" websites … and all those who may be considering the idea.
Recently, Google changed their terms of service for AdSense Publishers … that’s what you are if you display Google AdSense. They made specific changes in their requirements for Privacy Policies for all publishers and they put "teeth" in to the rule. In the past these policies were suggested … and lack of them might affect a site’s quality score, but the rules could essentially be ignored. Now Google have promised to stop serving publishers who don’t comply. Many of the major blogs have been ignoring this, Darren (of course), took note and wrote it up here.
This is both easy and difficult to comply with one a one or two site publisher … if you have dozens or hundreds of sites this will be a big thing to get done.
As usual the blogging community is very giving. My colleague Eric Giguere has already released a dedicated AdSense Privacy Policy plugin that automates this task and will put you in compliance quick as a wink.
I have already uploaded and used the plugin on several sites and it works great. Thanks Eric … and for you who don’t know what the privacy policy on all your sites are? Better check now.
