My inquiry to Google - via Google web site interface ( form ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Hans Neukomm Subject: Technical Questions Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 14:15:05 -0700 Re: Google Adsense via SSI into static HTML pages. According to your TOS from: https://google.com/adsense/localized-terms >> " ...including without limitation by not modifying the JavaScript or other programming provided to You by Google in any way ..." https://google.com/adsense/faq-tech >> 2. Adding the JavaScript code to your web page Please note: You must paste the AdSense ad code into your web pages without making any modifications to the code. *Once you have copied the code available in your account, you will need to add this code to the existing code of your web page. If you are using a design enhanced HTML editor (often referred to as WYSIWYG software), you will need to access the source code of your web page. If you are manually updating your site using notepad or other software that already provides access to the source code of your pages, the JavaScript code should be pasted into the main content of your web page between the BODY tags." this above is done with SSI correctly. Myself i see a correct procedure using true and original Google Adsense code in static content pages. a NON-public sample page JUST for Google adsense support team - is available at Please inform me if such procedure is truly conforming to your TOS love and bliss Hans Neukomm www.kriyayoga.com Cyberspace Ashram ================================================= And here Google's friendly answer received soon after ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 16:53:55 -0700 From: "Google AdSense" To: "Hans Neukomm" Subject: Re: [#14357835] Technical Questions Hello Hans, Thank you for your email.
