How On Earth Do I Contact AdSense? I Need Ad Placement Verification!

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by zac439, Aug 12, 2008.

    I just submitted a ticket to Adsense, and got this email:

    I desperately need to verify if my new placement is fine. If anyone has a lot of experience on placement strategy that is somewhat in the "gray" area, please reply or shoot me a PM so I can send you a screenshot of my placement.

    That's silly! How are we supposed to know if something we have is right or not? Wait until we get banned? My technique follows their guidelines, but it is borderline questionable so I don't know what to do.

    The mAain point is to read the TOS and you should be knowledgeable as a publisher as to know what is allowed and what isn't. If you have doubts, then it usually is. By the way...visit my sites and click on as many ads as you like.

    Not a slave to Google's adsense machine.

    In my many years with adsense, I have found that if it is a practice that is questionable now, it will be banned later.

    Yes, the only way you find out is by them banning your account. If it is only minor, they will only temp suspend until you get it fixed. However, I have found it is a lot better when you fly below their radar. You don't want your account being 'questionable' in its practices.

    You can get it reviewed like the others said, and they are right about never hearing anything from Google.

    Looking forward to seeing the review ;)

    OK- do a google search for:
    Echo Vs Print

    Look for a result with "LearnPHPOnline.com" - I should be on front page. You'll see the ad.

    You have to do this via Google since I only show ads to those who are referred from Google search ;)

    Can't find you site in first 3 pages.. :(
    You should work on SEO before Adplacement.

    In US, I'm showing #3 spot for the phrase. Maybe try something more specific such as learnphponline.com php echo vs print

    Trust me, I have plenty of SEO for this page since I get around 60 SE hits per day and the site is around a month old :D

    I see you at #1 for the search -
    learnphponline.com php echo vs print

    It looks like the issue is "Must not draw undue attention to the ads".
    In your case, we are talking about an "AdLinks unit".
    Are you drawing undue attention? Yes, I think you are.
    Is it a "banning" offense? Maybe, but it might just be a "warning" offense.
    I think it is very risky! Especially, with the bright red behind the "Ads by Google".

    This thread comes up # 3 and #4 for the search.

    In Firefox, there are NO BUMPS under the links, just in your example.
    Also,
    In Safari, there are NO BUMPS under the links, just in your example.

    Yeah - I didn't code them in. I think they may not be allowed because of undue attention.

    Is what I have fine then?

    I would say no.
    All that extra space, and bright colored background, goes too far, IMHO.

    But where do you get this opinion? Adsense doesn't mind if we put too much space in or use a certain color do they?
