Hello everyone,

Next week we are launching a new online dating website which will connect people locally and globally. The website has some new cool features extending from the traditional online dating service. The service will be 100% free for people to join and use.

In addition to other features the website will allow people to upload their photos on Public and Private Galleries. Photos uploaded in the public gallery will be totally clean whilst members will be allowed to post adult photos in the Private gallery. And this where the issue is. I do not think that providers such as Google AdSense, Yahoo and Bidvertiser etc will allow me to have an account with them. Their terms and conditions are quite clear on this issue.

So what are my options? Are there other ad networks that are not that strict in relation to content? What I require is contextual CPC and CPM graphics and text ads.

I also do not wish to publish adult ads.

Is anyone in the similar situation? Your feedback and guidance will be highly regarded.

Did you try Clicksor ? Not sure but worth a try. Signup for some Banner ad publisher accounts. Normally, a lot of them allow adult stuff. Or, just don't show ADs in the private gallery.

Hi,

Thank you for your note.

I haven't tried clicksor yet, one of their requirements is that the site should be live, we haven't launched yet. We will defintaley try clicksor upon launch.

Can you think of any more where their requirements may be a little relaxed.

Ash I think most of the contextual advertising networks will want to see your site live before deciding to accept you. I may be wrong and there are probably some that won't care, but most will want to see a site.

I don't know of many off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure there have been many listed here on the foums. Search through the AdSense forums a little and I'm sure you'll find a few.

If i remember correctly adbrite allow adverts to be displyed on "adult" themed sites.
Best to check thier terms or contact them first though.

I think you are correct on this.

I just need to be a little patient and launch the site first

I have also collected a big list of advertising providers.

Thanks for your help.

Yep check with the providers.

I would say sign up to adult friend finder affiliates but that would be throwing your users away.

See if adbrite allows it.
