    I could be wrong on some of these, but it seems that there are some general commonly asked questions on Adsense that get posted over and over again lately.

    Do you need a privacy policy on your website/blog ?

    * Yes, any website or blog where Adsense is being displayed is required to have a Privacy Policy. You can simply make a new page for the Privacy Policy and link it to your home page.

    Does anyone earn big from Adsense ?

    * Yes, there are many people who earn thousands a month from Adsense. Don't get me wrong though, these people have been doing this for a while and usually have very nicely developed websites.

    I got a click, but no earnings !?

    * If you have clicks and no earnings, chances are the clicks were "invalid clicks"

    I have earnings but no clicks !?

    * This is because Google will sometimes pay you based on impressions as well as clicks. Don't be freaked out if it shows no clicks and a few cents.

    Whats the highest paying niche ?

    * There are plenty of high paying niches. Go to the "Google adwords tool" and change it so your results show the CPC of each keyword. Search around and look for the keywords that pay well. If a keyword has a CPC of $20, than chances are you could get around $10 per click from that keyword/niche, Google gets the other half.


    I GOT CLICK BOMBED WHAT DO I DO !


    Remove the ads from your website and report the incident to Google with the link below.

    I Accidentally clicked my own ad ! should I worry ? What do I do ?

    Do nothing, Google understands accidents happen. Just don't let it become a regular occurrence.

    Are you allowed to buy Adsense accounts ?

    No

    I am banned, can I get my account back ?


    No, you may be able to submit an appeal but good luck with that. The best option at this point might be to ask a family member or sibling to use their name and information on a new account. Offer them 5% of the earnings and I am sure they will be interested.

    I JUST GOT $5 FROM 1 CLICK, WHAT IS GOING ON !?

    Sometimes you get lucky and get ads from a high paying advertising who is using adwords. Congrats.

    I have 200 impressions and NO CLICKS, what is wrong ?

    impressions = clicks, the more you get the more clicks you get. 200 impressions daily is not much. The top earnings on Adsense get 10's if not hundreds of thousands of daily visitors.

    How do I do SEO ?

    Search Engine Optimization can be done in many ways. Posting your website to directories, social media and social bookmarking websites, article marketing, basically if you are promoting your website or getting backlinks, you are performing SEO

    Are there alternatives to adsense ?

    Yes there are, just search for "paid to click" programs from publishers.

    I may have to add to this thread if I see more that I forgot =P, figured I could help some people out by answering these. Half of them are questions I asked in my first week, we all start somewhere right ?
