One of your biggest nightmare is losing your adsense account? What a power isn't it? Google is smiley company but when you become a publisher of adsense, you can easily realise that, seriousness is hired behind the smiley face. You can make a living from google. It's not a big dream or impossible target. All you need to have is money. If not, time. If you have both, probably you'll start earning quickly. Google adsense, give oppurtunity to all humanity. ( at once) You can make thosands with this great partnership at home. It is a both sided beneficial relation-ship and google is pleased for being with you. Everything is fine if you obey all terms of service. But if you don't obey or make a little mistake, this happy dream will end dramatically. And then you will start posting articles like that; "why i hate google?" , "10 things ever never over" etc. I'm not a high level adsense publisher but i'm a strong reader. According to my experiences on varied adsense articles, i made a list, that will help you to keep publishing adsense ads forever. 1-) Read all adsense terms again, again. 2-) If you have web pages full of ads more than content, don't remove them, just add some content and balance it. 3-) The first rule of the adsense club is, you do not talk about adsense. This is a very important rule. It is hard to stop your relatives and friends clicking your ads. 4-) Create a new windows account and protect it with password. So, you'll able to hire your url history, web files, notes, login cookies etc. 5-) Adlogger and other click fraud protection softwares are no longer useful. But if you have detected some "ips" that trying to hurt you, you can block them easily via adding some codes to your .htaccess file. In the link below, there is a great tool; "htaccess blocking generator". All you need to do is adding the ips and generating the code. Then you can easily copy/paste it to your .htaccess file. http://www.thinkhost.com/services/generators/htblock.shtml 6-) If you have an adsense web site in a foreign language, you can easily ban your country via "htaccess blocking" below. All you need to have is your country's ip range. You can download yours from; http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/ 7-) You should be transparent and honest. Because google is a serious company and wouldn't like to disconnect with its partnets. So, you should always stay in touch with adsense. In every invalid click detection, you should immediately contact with google and "Invalid Clicks Contact Form" https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_contact Don't forget that adsense stuffs are human. You should follow latest discussions.Because something useful and urgently needed, might be hired in other publisher's sentences. I recommend you to follow; "forums.digitalpoint.com", "webmasterworld.com" for adsense discussions. Also i recommend you " problogger.net" and "shoemoney.com" for quick tips. If you have started writing more than you read, there might be a problem. 9-) Don't gain enemies. Also closer web friends. 10-) You should forget about losing your account. Thoughts and sense are very powerful. We can effect the things by our senses. If we think about losing adsense account all day and all night, we'll gain nothing. You were alive before adsense and you won't die without adsense. You should be relax and concentrate on your security first. Then your content and traffic. If you are praying and patiently working, we would see "the kick" ine near future from you!
Is it bad to remove the adsense code once you have had it on a site? I actually just recently did this because i didn't have any content on some pages and found out that is a big no-no so is it bad to disable adsense on your pages once you already had it on there?
No, there is no problem,but it is just a prevention. As you know, sometimes, we don't have enough time to tell about our issue.
Good post, thank you. But I didn't quite understand the above well. What do you mean by creating a new windows account and hire my url history etc etc clickalot
I meant; if you are not the only one who use your computer, maybe others can view your secret web sites from your browser's url bar. Also if your browser automatically login to the services that you use, this might be unfavorable for you.
You should never done it too dear SupremeKid. Most of the publishers lose their accounts because of their negligences...
not necesarrily, but it will be more risky for you as the perosn using that computer may click your ads
1-) No But, if you check your adsense stats at work or another public place (where all computers use the same ip), your risk will increase. If one the people click on the ads (no matter if they've found your from google search), you'll get banned. It's just a prevention way to decrease your risk. 2-) For example, you checked your stats on your friends computer, then your friends signed up to adsense, after a while, he/she get banned. Probably you'll get banned too. ( I don't have certain information about this,i'm just saying this according to the posts that i've read before)
You can check your ip at; http://www.showip.com . Then you can find friends or people's ips via your web counter.
