    Okay, I'm already getting a lot of traffic to my new site: http://www.profile-tracker.com 500 uniques in a couple hours

    I want to put a PPC banner on the left side, don't think adsense would be a good choice because of the lack of content, clicksor hasn't approved me yet and bidvertisers for some reason aren't even showing up when I insert the code.

    Any suggestions please?

    That's actually plenty of content for Adsense. Go ahead and apply, you'll most likely get in. The worst they can do is say no.

    Oh I'm already in, I just don't want to get in trouble. Maybe I'll send a message, they prob won't like the excessive CPA CJ affiliate banners all over.

    I wouldn't worry about it, it's all good. Slap on your Adsense ad and make some money. Don't sweat it; you're well within the TOS. :)

    Okay thanks Jack, I'm getting like 60 uniques a minute now, just added Google, prob missed a lot of revenue (7000 uniques while I was sleeping), but I'll see how it goes.

    Thanks for letting me know, I'm still not that familiar with ToS

    The biggie mistakes are:

    - Don't click on your own ads.
    - Don't ask or even "hint" at people to click on your ads.
    - Don't mislabel your ads.
    - Don't draw undue attention to your ads (arrows pointing to it, etc.)

    Those are basically the prime culprits when someone gets banned from Adsense. I took a look at your ad placement, are you're not violating any of those.

    BTW How are you getting your traffic? I hope you didn't join a program that sends you a ton of traffic for a cost (auto surf programs) because those can and will get you banned.

    All from Myspace bulletins

    Btw, can I add clicksor popups on this site? Or are those considered contextual?

    There have been some discussions about rather Clicksor is allowed on the same page as Adsense, but to be safe, I wouldn't do it. The pop-ups aren't concidered contextual, but they will ruin the surfing experience of your visitors, and make them less inclined to click on your Adsense ads.

    P.S. How are your MyYearbook affiliate links converting? If they're not converting at all, I'd get rid of them and leave just the Adsense ads. Or maybe put one Adsense sky banner on one side, the MyYearbook banner on the other, and take out the MyYearbook leaderboard at the top. The less cluttered you make your site, the more visitors are inclined to click on something. Too many ads, and they might just get "ad blind" on you and pay no attention to the obvious ads -- the sides, top, and bottom. I bet your half-banner (the small one) is the best converting, huh?
