What was your biggest AdSense mistake?

mine is not putting it on my sites sooner :D I really wish I got into AdSense before I did...

[stackman]

Using 120x600 skyscraper ads on the side instead of 336x280 rectangle ads integrated with my content. Skyscraper ads suck, rectangle ads rock.

When I used to not optimize my ads for the best earning potential.

not banning MFA sooner :)

[Proximity]

hmmmm... No mistakes as of yet

[twodogs]

using borders

since no borders my clicks have almost doubled

[joey112]

not banning MFA sooner :)

I agree about those skyscraper ads. I'm not seeing anything out of them.

Best is, leaderboards and vertical banners. You stay with those two and you will be laughing every time. :)

But, only if you get enough traffic. ;)

Definetely.

Gotta work the SEO first.

Traffic is the main focus.

Adsense Mistake..
I doubt I have done any.

Biggest mistake was putting adsense on my other small low PR sites ... smart pricing is a big issue.

[bigrollerdave]

Biggest adsense mistake for me is getting banned by ypn lol. My adsense revenue is just horrible I'm averaging less then 2 cents per click.

[BsGuyz]

my biggest mistake is putting my ads on MFA. that is the biggest mistake!

[Whitey]

Biggest AdSense mistake for me was clicking my own ads when I first started using it... Google sent me a warning :p

[aliasneo]

Mine too - although that's part of the testing. Perhaps the biggest mistake I did in the beginning was not properly naming the channels, which I figured out later (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=658384).

[Sphinks]

when I clicked on my own ads. At the very beginning I clicked on my own ads and generated a CTR of about 350%.
Fortunately, they reopened my account.

[theredgiant]

Not using 300x250 and 336x228 blocks from the start.
skyscrapper ads sucks. I only run CPM ads in those.

[angilina]

No mistakes, I did some good research before puttings adsense in my site

[thewolf32]

Long time ago, I modified the Ad size messing with the code, so the "Ads by Google" wouldn't show up.

Luckily I didn't get caught ^_^

The biggest Adsense mistake? I signed it up! :D

[Overclock099]

Asking people to download FF from my site..:(

[primeelite]

Hearing stories about $50 a click and believing them

[bidder]

accidentally sending page to autosurf program :)

[ajitjc]

Now a time, I can't avoid the psa ADDS...
I don't know why only the PSA adds are coming...

[HomeRun]
