You've integrated Google AdSense to your site and you are happy to see that your income increases. One morning, you happily open a session to see how you have reported the AdSense ads and you find that you have been withdrawn from the program. Believing that there must be a mistake, you visit your site and see the ads from. Sensing a slight panic, you open your mail and see if there is something from Google. Yes, there is an email that informs you that you have been banned from the program! The letter will set out the reasons probably, but this can easily be avoided with as AdSense with AdWords, reading, understanding and applying the limits of the service offered by Google! The most common reason is related to clicks deemed invalid by Google. Some publishers themselves click on their ads which ask others to do so. These clicks are invalid and cause the outright deletion of your account. It is a rule so important that it is practically the first to appear in Google's terms of use. Everything is indicated, check to always respond to the terms set by Google, because once your account is deleted you can not register. See what you can and what you should not do so, use the recommendations and you will avoid losing money and work for nothing. The limits of service are written in plain language and it is important to read. Take into account that these conditions may change regularly and at any time, please check from time to time. It is essential that you follow the changes and that you bring all necessary changes to your website. Remember that once you're banned by Google, you are in life. This will result in account deletion also the loss of all gains in progress, so be very careful.
I think people who try to play the system should be cautious! Those who create good content and drive traffic to their sites have nothing to worry about. Common sense, if you mess with the system, then eventually you will be caught and actions will be taken....
A good post, but sounds so melodramatic though. 1. You can easily get a new Adsense account. I got banned once because I made a stupid mistake, signed up with a new Adsense account (new websites, new IP, new name, address and all that..), since then, I've been following the rules and I'm still doing very good with Adsense. 2. It's not like all your work is lost. You simply just find other ways to monetize your site. 3. Adsense is not 100% safe. Some people tend to be fine for 10 years while others only last for 2 weeks - but that is life, risky. You can get fired from a "normal" job as well, which is kinda the same thing. 4. Always have a backup plan and possible already applied ways to monetize your websites. 5. The risk of getting banned if you're following the ToS is not that high, especially if you're a high earning publisher. That is my personal experience and doesn't have to be correct in any way.
no matter how much you warn and how clearly the TOS is written, there will be always some people that will try to cut corners or try to outsmart google. in a way its good for the rest of us. if everyone was smart, our share of the pie would probably be a little smaller
You said it correctly. Wise people always read the rules first and then begin the experimentation process on a new venture... while foolishly anxious people learn it the hard way! Regards, RightMan
surely you havent tried everything Grow traffic and try different placements - eventually you will make money!
If your site is gets less traffic but click through rate is high then surely you will be caught. And clicking on your own ads doesn't make sense, you may earn $.05 to $.25 for a click, clicks from same computer several times will terminate your account immediately. These are very elementary things and everybody knows about it. Do affiliate marketing, adsense won't do anything for you unless you have huge traffic.
@tariq1615 you don't always need huge traffic. It also depends on your niche. Some sites earn just .05-0.10 per click, while some can can earn few dollars per click.
That's why we need to promote our site in order to rank decently in search engine and gain more traffic that is also a source of clicks. If you do this, you have higher percentage that you never get banned unlike you are asking on your friend click the ads.
