    He can visit your website, as long as he don't click the ads.

    Haha, no that's definitely not against the TOS. Just don't tell him to click the ads.

    if he keeps clicking your ads, you may have problems.

    "helpful friends" overclick ads & can lead to adsense bans.....even if the publisher didn't ask for clicks.

    as a rule, I don't tell my frnds about my sites.

    it's ok to let friends know about your site as long as you don't encourage them to click on your ads intentionally because if Google finds out, you're a gonner in AdSense publishing.

    Here's more of the TOs on BadSense AdSense Technique that you shouldn't do. ;)

    helpful friends!! yeah very well said. I had faced this problem once. Some of my friends from college clicked my ads multiple times and i got a nice warning from google next day. I was lucky they just sent me a warning and didn't ban me.

    Yes you can show your site. But dont tell them what is adsense or that you make money when someone click those ads, because when they starts to help you, you are lost :eek:

    He can visit your site. Make no mention of AdSense to your friend. That way if he clicks on one ad you can profit and he will have found honest interest in the ad. The point of AdSense is for users to have found an honest interest in ads.

    Well, you could advertise your website to your friends as long as you remind them over and over again not to click on the ads. Well, you could advise them to click on the ads occasionally, like once a week?

    NEVER tell anyone to click your ads. Also, once a week will get you caught, that is way too much.
