No applicant will be favored or treated differently,
and no one can buy their way onto the whitelist.
Everyone has tocomply with the criteria and everyone
has to go through the same process before the ads
qualify as "acceptable."
Do companies pay you for being added to the list?
Whitelisting is free for all small- and medium
websites and blogs. However, managing this list
requires significant effort on our side and this
task cannot be completely taken over by volunteers
as it happens with common filter lists. That's why
we are being paid by some larger properties that
serve non-intrusive advertisements that want to
participate in the Acceptable Ads initiative.I don't mind unobtrusive ads, and the google adsense ads tend to fall into that camp.
