Adsense warning!

    I didn’t know that I am playing with fire until Adsense send me an email today. Below is the email that they send :
    Because I am a newbie and want to bring traffic to my blog so what I did was I joined LinkReferral. You know you have to visit 30 member sites, give 5 reviews and post one reply or answear 1 question daily. After that you will get traffic. Well, is true. I am getting 132 hits so far (just 6days). But Adsense found me. Lucky is just a warning.

    Somebody told me by joining LinkReferral or related program will not get you ban from Adsense. Actually is true.......they give you a warning O-N-L-Y :D So for those of you (DP members) who had join or thinking of joining these type of program.....think twice. :rolleyes:

    You're lucky, most people don't get a second chance. I recommend you delete your LinkReferral account immediately and stop receiving traffic from them.

    You cannot use traffic programs on adsense websites, its a violation of terms of service. I'll never understand why people don't read the TOS and policies before placing ads and using promotional methods.

    Google sent me a warning a couple of years ago saying that I should not add any pages with adsense ads on them to any of the traffic exchange programs. Link referral does not rotate your pages, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding your site to it.

    Think of something else, you must have added your site pages to some of those manual/auto traffic exchanges...

    Along with closing your Linkreferral account, review any other activity that you might have taken and correct that, too, (if any).

    Then take a moment to email Google support what you think was wrong and the action(s) you took to correct the situation, ie, you closed the Linkrefferal account and anything else. This will let them know that you care about your Google relationship and will do the right thing.

    Site that is directly brings a lot of traffic onto tour site is one of the googles big "NO". Since google detect that your revenue is increasing and your visitors coming only from one site, definitely google have doubt on it. I think you are subject for banned in Google adsense.

    Traffic exchange, ppc etc are tempting when you are newbling your way around - but try to be patient and build your sites up bit by bit.

    You are very lucky.

    Google Adsense has disabled my account last year and after two weeks that I've contact them through email, they activated my account again.
    6 months ago they have warned me about my top website and blocked only the domain, not my account.
    So I'm lucky too my friend - I know how it feels.
    Don't make this mistake again, because you won't be so lucky I guess.

    Good luck m8! ;)

    It is still possible to capitalize from using those. You just need to do it differently . create a couple of splash pages that attract attention and entice to click and do NOT have any adsense ads on them. add those splash pages to rotation on manual and auto surfs. the splash pages are large hyperlinks that send visitors to your content pages with adsense ads on them.

    Now that you know they mean business, I suggest you go back and actually read the TOS and Policies so you don't do anything else stupid that might tip the scales towards the side of your Adsense account being in the past tense.

    One thing i learned is not to put too many eggs in one basket and always have plan B and even C. So even if i do get banned it wont be that much of a tragedy. Plus i kinda stopped using Adsense now anyway. :D

    Why would you want a loan? :)
