hey!

I have a forum, and i need anyone that can confirm something for me. i have a subscribers section on my forum, where users pay a certain ammount per year, to access the content which is not view-able by normal users. Think about it as the jr. vip section for normal users like me.

Now here is the question: I have google adsense ads placed on my forums. Are those ads able to read the content in those "Private" forums? And what about the google/yahoo/bing crawlers?

thanks for answering this

"Are those ads able to read the content in those "Private" forums?"

I always assumed AdSense targeted ads by searching through meta-data and other key HTML elements, with the script loading, then searching, then displaying relevant ads.

I could however be very wrong, so your best bet is to simply go ahead and see if it works.
