I have been confused from a long time on what types of contents were called Adult or Mature contents on Google Adsense. I wanted to know is there any kind of measurements on that which is clearly defined on adsense or how can I clearly know if any pictures or texts we were going to place on our site is Adult contents or not. So I asked the same question to the Adsense support team and below is the reply from them:

PHP just got a major boost from Microsoft this morning with the release of FastCGI for windows. Anyone working with PHP and Windows knows just how painful it can be, if you can get it to work reliably at all. We have been working with a number of projects that all involved PHP on IIS, and seen web sites entirely wiped out due to bad upgrades, where even the backups of the backups would not work due to one technical issue after another until having to revert to the previous version of PHP on IIS.

Today Microsoft is eager to announce availability of the Go Live release of Microsoft FastCGI Extension for IIS 5.1/6.0 (FastCGI Extension) as a free download. The Go Live release is the last step in the Microsoft beta process and represents the highest level of quality and reliability. For the first time, customers have a license that permits them to deploy the FastCGI Extension on their production Internet Information Services 6.0 (IIS 6) Web servers.

To continue the script execution on client disconnection, you can use a function provided by PHP called ‘ignore_user_abort’. This function sets whether on client disconnect, should script execution be continued or aborted. Calling the function with the parameter set to ‘TRUE’ should ignore user disconnection and continue with script execution.

A wildcard DNS record is a catch all record in a DNS zone that will match all non-existent requests for a domain name. Just like whenever you setup “catch all” or “nobody” email account, that will act as a “catch-all” account for any non-specified or misspelled username, as long as the domain name is correct. Then you will be able to retrieve these messages at the mail account you specify. So Wildcard DNS is just like that but is used on domain aliases of host name. On another word you can also call it as Catch all Sub domains.

For example I have setup Wildcard DNS on domain zeroarticles.info, I have not created any subdomain/aliases on that domain. So if someone visits profile.zeroarticles.info the wildcard will forward that user to www.zeroarticles.info, same thing applied on test.zeroarticles.info, abc.profile.zeroarticles.info

That means everything which comes as domain aliases will be forwarded to www.zeroarticles.info, so we can technically call that *.zeroarticles.info will forward to host name.

When a web browser is pointed to a directory on your web site which does not have an index.html file in it, the files in that directory can be listed on a web page.
