Policy & traffic quality guidelines

Ad implementation policies

Special ad implementations permitted by our policies

Generally, altering the behavior or targeting of AdSense ad code is prohibited. However, publishers are permitted to use scripts which allow users to close the ad unit by clicking on a box.

Some examples of unacceptable modifications include:

  • Placing Google ads in a "floating box" in which ads scroll, hover, or expand over the webpage.
  • Adding irrelevant keywords (hidden or visible) to alter the targeting of the ads.
  • Using IFRAMEs with keywords to alter the content or language of the ads.
