This website showcases graffiti photos from Scotland (especially Glasgow and Edinburgh graffiti), and anywhere else I can get to. So far that includes Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Bristol, Brussels, London, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Seville and Warsaw. There are also photos other people have sent in, including graffiti from Holland, Canada, Australia and more. I also put some other photos that aren't related to graffiti on here occasionally.
To be kept informed of updates, add your email address to my mailing list. It's a low-volume list and it is easy to unsubscribe at any time.

Google AdSense

Posted on 27 May 7:34 AM

I've had a little Google AdSense ad on some pages on the site for a while. For a period I made a little money from it (not enough to cover my hosting costs though), but for a long time I haven't made anything from it. Yesterday I got this email from them:

Hello,

During a recent review of your account we found that you are currently
displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our program
policies
(https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-1pp-en).

--------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE PAGE:
http://www.duncancumming.co.uk/forum/thread.cfm?TID=2952&StartRow=241

Please note that this URL is an example and that the same violations may
exist on other pages of this website or other sites in your network.

VIOLATION(S) FOUND:

ADULT/EXPLICIT TEXT: As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers
are not permitted to place Google ads on pages with adult or mature
content, including sexually explicit text. More information about this
policy can be found in our help center
(https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105957).

COMMENT SPAM: As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers may
not display Google ads on pages with adult or mature content. While we
understand that it may be challenging to monitor user-generated content,
such as comments, on your site, we require publishers to check that the
webpages containing their ad code complies with our program policies. More
information about this policy can be found in our help center
(https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=116000).

So I guess that's that. The forum and comments underneath photos are full of both 'ADULT TEXT' and probably 'COMMENT SPAM' too. So I'll just have to remove the ads from the site completely. Can't say they'll be missed by anyone, least of all me.

London update - Shiz

Posted on 03 Jan 4:45 PM
It's been a long while since I updated this website, so I thought it was about time. The latest update is 20 photos all by Shiz, a London based graffiti writer. All these photos were taken by me in 2010. Almost every week I see a new piece by this guy. If you want to check out more, visit his website, http://shizartist.com.

Also, there was a change I made back in May 2010 that probably prevented anyone from adding new comments. This has now been fixed! Also I've made a couple other very minor amendments around the site; you probably won't notice them, but if you encounter any problems, please let me know.
