I’m setting up a new community with the adsense plugin.
A basic question: my community is on [community.mysite.com](http://community.mysite.com), but adsense won’t let me register subdomains. How do I do?

Thanks a lot. I had not seen this article before.

I still can’t make AdSense work …
The problem is that Discourse is in a subdomain `community.mysite.com` and to enable AdSense I must first validate the main site `www.mysite.com` which has very little content (just a brief description, contact form, etc), and Google is not validating due to the “quality policies”.
I even set up a small, temporary generic site (with blog articles, institutional page, etc.), but Google was not fooled …
Redirect doesn’t seem to work either.
Would anyone know any workaround?

Running into the same issues myself. Any luck with figuring out how to make it work?

Don’t use subdomain other than www. There is no other solution. That’s strict policy of Google.
