AdSense on dot org websites?

[MAllie]

Is it OK to use AdSense on a dot org website? I know that originally dot org was for sites set up by voluntary or nonprofit bodies. Is this still the case?

Cant see anywhere in the T&C's where you cant so should be ok IMO

Sure, most everyone else does. Organizations need to get money from somewhere too.

Thanks for the quick responses, Dean and Scott. That's reassuring. But Dean, what are the T&C's?

I have adsense on several .org sites and haven't had any issues yet.

but tell me from your experiences, does the payout (ppc) is lower then the .com / .net?

i feel this to an extent. my main site is .org and it is sad to see the stats :(

i think it is ok to use i saw some ads also on some dot org sites and i think thet're ok.

I think it is niche-dependent, not related to the TLD. I have .org websites that get healthy CPC.

It's been a very long time since .org actually meant organisation, most organisations and not for profits will try to get the .com as everybody trusts a com more than an org.

Domain stereotypes for the orgs, nets and coms mean very little anymore.
