Google Only Permits Ads on Top-Level Websites

Are you wondering why you can't add Adsense ads to your Google Site? Here's why:

There are some great ways to register free websites out there. A popular one is Google Sites, which recently replaced Google Pages. Google Sites is an easy and free platform for building simple, informative web pages. Unfortunately, while Google Pages supported Adsense, Google Sites does not, blocking that avenue of monetization. Why? Because with Google Sites, you don't get a top level domain name and Google doesn't permit the use of Adsense on such pages.

For example...

Google Sites name looks like this: http://sites.google.com/site/YOUR SITE NAME HERE/, and Adsense ads currently can't be inserted. You can insert the html code, but it will be rejected. I'll let you know if this changes.

Other names look like this: http://www.YOUR SITE NAME HERE.com
or like this: http://YOUR SITE NAME HERE.com
Adsense ads are permitted on both types of domain names, assuming that you can insert html code.
