Good to have them in the tabulated form. All of us know but most of us commit these mistakes and get our account banned. So its better to avoid and play a safe game .
I like it when people complain that there account got closed after they clicked there own ad a billion times
Couldnt an enemy of anyones just click your ads or get their friends to. Could you get banned by this? And I know they check but I honestly only think they care when You click and do not follow through. If you are seeing a ad that is appealing to you, Im sure google lets it slide if they see you signed up for or bought whatever it was the ad leads you to. They are smart enough to know if you do that as well.
Can you explaing #12 a little bit more. What do you mean by Image Results? Website containing only images like wallpaper websites?
The most common reason why accounts are banned is not listed... Never use proxy and click your own ad!
YEp i lot of people try to be over smart and click on other own ads from different proxies browsers etc, for all those smart ones google also tracks referrers, + your screen size + Clicking patterns and a lot of other things which a proxy cant hide. So dont try to fool the Big G or else you have to face its wrath
Does this mean that if some one posts a youtube clip on a forum or blog that it would be violating the ToS? I'm confused about this one.
By "Results" it means the result of a search does it not? As in the results of searching amongst video's and images on a website? Meaning pages consisting mostly of Video, Image, MP3 and other search Results. Not a page of content that happens to have a couple of images or a forum thread with a user posted video link in it?
