    Okay first off here's my link to my blog

    http://photographystop.blogspot.com/

    Im currently doing okay, getting some traffic from people being linked to it via my online photography gallery etc... And it all seems OK. Im just wondering what am i allowed to do to publicize my site without breaking Adsense rules. Am i allowed to make youtube videos linking to my site etc... I just dont want to lose my account and it seems pretty easy to lose it.

    Also, any advice on how i could increase revenue? Again im really new to all this. Thanks in advance.

    One more thing, my friend clicked a lot of my ad's first day thinking it would help without realizing its against terms of service. I emailed google adsense straight away almost, and they replied saying thanks for the honesty, look here for terms and conditions etc... Will that be it then? I wont be punished?

    Tell your friend to stop clicking your ads, Google can log this and will know if its fraud. If you reported it you might be ok. Nice site and good content, I read most of your info and its very informative. Work on getting backlinks and this should help increase traffic.

    Good Luck

    About clicking your own ads, no problem. I did it by mistake, got basically the same email back.
    You can have adsense with you tube, but don't put it on a page that has copyright material. They will ban your site for that.

    looks nice and clean, but you can add more ads, and you definitely want to add more content!

    Working on content.

    And as for ad's... Is more always better? I imagined that the less ads the more each click would be worth?

    Also... I dont want the page saturated with ad's really... But you guys know far more about this than me so id be happy to take any advice given.

    Ok first of all i recommand you to change the ad box a lil bit , only just remove the border , its perfect like that , and buy a domain so you can insert any plugins you want because blogspot doesnt allow changes that type. If you get a dommain you can get some plugins that insert your google adsense ads into posts , that would increase your earnings dramaticaly.

    You have to choose your topic carefully, find a good keyword phrase and use that phrase in the title and in the article. Check google search to make sure this phrase has lots of good ads on the right, and of course check the google keyword tool to make sure there is enough monthly searches for the exact phrase (i like >3000 / month)

    Not a bad first site... Make sure you update once every 2 months... The trick is to find a template that encourages people to see the ads as part of the website not something external...

    Once you have one that works that means you should rinse and repeat with other websites with the same everything but content do it 100 times and then sit back and enjoy the monthly pay checks...

    Your no1 concern at the moment should not be content because you already have that it should be number of visitors...

    Build backlinks... use these 3 steps and you will succeed in backlink building :

    1-Find a competitor with a chain of blogs like yours visit backlinkwatch.com
    2-Type in one of his sites and voila you have the key to success, just do as he did and add to it
    3-Rinse & Repeat ;)

    ps: you will never make it with only one website diversity is key some subjects work and some don't you'll never know which until you try.
