AdSense FAQ.

Make sense

 

Here's an idea, when I add questions, do you think it would be a good idea for me to add the new questions to the thread as a reply?

Or even better, should I make another thread with all the current questions and also add new ones there when I update the FAQ. Then that would make all the questions searchable here.

 

Thank you for writing this up. It looks like it took quite a bit of time and effort to do this. I really appreciate you doing this.

I have one minor suggestion for the question "How do I report a cheater?" Direct link to AdSense help page is:

Nintendo - I may be writing a very comprehensive "Mini-FAQ" that may go under one of your main FAQ questions. I will let you know when I am done with it

Cheers

 

Just read the Adsense FAQ.. Some I understood, some I didnt'. Will try to understand them again by reading it over.

Meanwhile can somebody please tell me if there any FAQ to 'Adsense to Blogs'? Because that is what I have and think of improving on it. I am a student and do not have any knowledge of HTml and other programming languages. I started a blog with a view to get some money if not now may be in near future to help sharing my study fees.

Also I request who ever reading this to see my blog, http://www.vizagmusings.blogspot.com/,
and please give me all ur valuable suggestions and advices..I will be indebted to all for that.

I will be a regular member here from now on I guess.

cheers to all,

Your not going to make money from bloging unless you can get visitors!! AdSense rules and optimizing info is the same on blogs as it is with any other site.

 

Once I can get the new password and re-create the domains, it'll be back up.

 

There are some tools: you enter the keyword and you see the list of bids. But I'm not supposed to enter URL here, because Google forbides using various tools of that kind; but I'm sure you'll find it.

As for toplists, I see many adverts like 'buy a toplist of Google keywords'... but I'm just sceptic.

 

As an newbie when it comes to adsense because i have no account registered yet but i have been reading up on things this never got cleared up for me:

What is a channel?

When reading this i can't figure out what the connection is with non matching registration of the domain holder and account address and why this is a potential danger and sabotage oppurtunity for my account
I wanted to register my site with an id protect kind of system to prevent my personal information being exposed to alll kind of situations and now i see there is a potential danger for getting my future account being sabotaged...i can't understand or think of a reason for this to happen.

It's not hard to imagine why click bombing could be a danger for account termination but the non matching address or domain registration with id protect is quite confusing for me.

 

Just a stats tracker. You have a special code in the HTML code then you can see stats for just pages with that code. Good to see what one site generates, or location of an ad, or type of ad, or....

google_ad_channel ="8849133786";

 

Thanks for clearing that up Nintendo

What is a channel?
I clicked a bunch of ads on the first day, and I didn't know. What do I do?
Google Adsense ads (and AdLinks) are using italic text. How do I make them look normal?
I got some English text on my site, but it's mostly *Insert other language.* Why do I mostly get PSAs?
Are AdSense Trackers OK to use?
How can I view my ads with out clicking them?
Should I be worried about all the accounts disabled for invalid clicks reports?
Will I get terminated for not generating enough clicks or impressions?

Can I have AdSense placed in a newsletter (online) that is accessed by a link in an email to a sites newsletter subscribers?
Some times I get a message that says 'Page could not be found' with a 404 error, where the link units should be. What do I do?

What is the source of this answer? I cannot find any clear verbage that states this. The TOS on this is double talk IMO.

First it seems ok on seperate pages...

Then it's not allowed site wide...

Thanks

 

From some one asking AdSense support....

Then there is the King of AdSense, Jenstar...

 

As you well know, the first is hear say. No one should run a business based on that type of advice/information

The second is just a person. While I see this person is respected, I want to see it in writing at the google website.

I was hoping to get a link to a real google TOS page. IIRC googleguy or whatever he was billed as turned out to be a joke. I can't risk my income on these sources.

But thanks for the reply.

 

E-mail them yourself and get the confirmation!!! There not the only ones that have asked. I would ask, but I havn't been accepted in YPN....yet. Drive Google insane by making them say 'Yes you can have our competitors ads on the same site!!' again!!!

 

Yes, I am in the same boat. I quoted your page and was called on it for proof though. I can't call that proof and since, like you, I'm not in YPN yet, I'm not going to bother the folks at adsense myself.

Thanks man. Your FAQ is great and most of the info is confirmable, but I think it's very important to not make any mistaken moves in the adsense program. So I won't give that advice anymore.

I tried to send a greenie your way, but I have given too much out for now.

 

Now I'm geting tempted to ask, though I just fear I would get the termination notice just from them thinking I'm in the YPN program!!! Yes, Google is very good at striking termination fear in us!!!!

 

hehe, not many things scare me, but damn, what you just said is how alot of us feel. Doing business like this is bullshit!
