If any questions I said were the same as what someone else said last month, I missed that and im sure others have too. I have some questions that werent explained clearly or arent on the FAQ at all. 1. Can you post adsense in any bullian boards, message boards or forums? I thought I recalled it being allowed. If its allowed by Google, could the moderator of said forum ban you anyway? 2. I know adsense in emails is a big NO-NO but what about in an instant messenger? 3. Is there some sort of confidental NDA when signing up with google adsense? I recall you arent allowed to mention anything about income, money or how much you make whatsoever but I see people do it all the time! 4. Does google mail you a check or pay you by paypal? Am I right when I read that they dont pay you till they owe you at least $100? 5. I know its NOT allowed to say "click my ads please" in a website but is it allowed to tell your friends both online and offline about clicking ads? If its not allowed, could I just mention something innocent like "I have adsense and get paid per click" and hope the person gets the hint and clicks? 6. If others share the same IP as me and click my ads, google would be assuming I click my own ads? 7. If I think someone is trying to sabotage me and I inform google of this before they warn me, will google punish me anyway? 8. Am I really expected to use a program that monitors everyone that clicks my adsense and let google know for suspicious activity? What is exactly considered suspicious, say someone clicks 10 times as he searches different ads or the same person clicks a few times a day? How would google know if someone is telling others to specifically make sure to click my adsense a few times a day or if that person found it on his own? Im sure alot of people tell their friends to click their adsense a few times a day(in exchange, he clicks their adsense) 9. Is it true you can only have 3 adsenses per page and no other competitors ads? What other requirements of this nature should I know? I read somewhere that you cant have frames either or the adsense wont work. Additionally, you cant have pictures near the adsense. How "near"? What if I have a picture for a background on my website? 10. Am I allowed to use any "hints" on my website to get more people to click? What if I say "I love google and I find it helpful for searching" or "I use google for this, that needs" 11. someone mentioned blogger.com is a great start to getting approved with google adsense. Is blogger.com making money with google in order to offer its services for free? I noticed that blogger even promotes adsense. Does blogger take half of what you make on adsense or some other comission? 12. What kind of websites are not allowed by google besides the obvious? What if I make a website that could be religious, political or controversal? What if theres any "bad" words in the website? 13. Is using key words anywhere in the website allowed? Say I use the most popular words to influence the searches and increase the cpc. I may want to use words like "google" "yahoo" "ebay", etc on the bottom of my website to increase search results 14. Must I register a seperate account for personal and business? Can that be done under one address? If I relocate and change my address, must I re-register or can I just update the address info? 15. Whats the purpose of a pin number? Does it replace the password I set to access my google adsense account? 16. Is there a limit to how many websites and webpages I can have that ill use adsense on? If theres no limit, then theres no limit to how much I could make! 17. If I have a website selling my stuff or services(such as I offer graphics design), can I still use adsense? 18. If I make a website ending in .org can I still use adsense? 19. Got any tips to NOT get banned by accident besides the obvious of not clicking your ads, I realize some people make mistakes and get banned even though they had no malviolent intents. 20. anything else I should know? I want to be completely informed of the rules before proceeding so I can establish a profitable relationship with google adsense and supplament my income. 21. Oh one more thing, can I really just sit back and watch the money roll in? If I finish making a website and dont wish to update it anymore, is that ok?
First You asked too many questions on one thread. Anyway no problem. I am not sure how you will post it in forums unless the moderator allow you to put your own adsense code. You are not allowed to add your own softwares unless Google authorize you to do so. I never seen anything like that so far. I think, you should not discuss your adsense details like impressions, clicks etc. No Paypal. Only cheque or EFT All three are not allowed. If you do so, you will be banned. yes. There are possiblities. No. I don't think so. But you can block the google ads for their IP if you know. Yes. you can monitor the clicks.
You can have background on your webpage. but you should not make any tricks or other tools to set background image of adsense ads. You can have upto 3 adsense ad units and one link unit. If you add more than that it will not show and also you are violating the Google TOS. No. you should not use any kind of advertising, etc. to click on your ads or use google search. I am not sure about this. But, if you create a adsense ad using existing option on that, it will add additonal line on google adsense code like google_ad_host="pub-1556223355139109"; Code (markup): May be there are earning from that. Not so sure
You might get banned. It is better not to have bad words in your website. If you want you can have an account for personal and an account for business. It is up to you. If you relocate there is no need to re-register you can just update the new address info. This is what google says: "As part of our effort to protect the accounts of AdSense publishers, we have mailed a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to the payment address entered in your account." I think, there is no limit. Yes you can. Yes you can. There are many. Search the forum. Mostly pepoples are get banned because of invalid clicks, etc.
You should have unique good content and should hard work. I feel we need to update our website regularly. But there are few websites earning for long time without updating it. I hope this helps. Someone here may correct me if I am wrong on anything suggested.
Thanks for your replies! More questions: 1. Is it true 25% of innocent people get banned within the first year because someone sabotaged them or got them banned? 2. Whats the best program I can use so I never accidentally click my own ads as well as block my own IP so no one using our internet clicks. 3. Is adsense even a good idea for people new to this, should they be using a different advertizer that isnt so ban happy till they become familiar? 4. Am I allowed to have many different keywords on my websites to generate more traffic? What if I use google as part of my web content(without any hinting to click my ads) 5. How many clicks per person per hour or day is the limit before google goes after you? I can limit someone to say 6 clicks an hour, 24 a day 6. How do I prevent bots from CPM my website? How can google tell? 7. can I make a new email address in yahoo mail just for adsense? 8. What do people do when they go on vacation? Do they replace the adsense with different ads, do they put a strict limit like two clicks per hour and what other measures? 9. Is there really a surefire way NOT to be sabotaged, will google refuse to believe you? 10. What kind of rules does google have when mentioning how much you earn? everyone seems to disclose their earnings
I don't really see what you are driving at with these questions - you seem a bit too hung-up on banning. For the large part common-sense prevails - make a decent site, put ads on, and visitors will naturally click on them and google won't ban you. Why would they? And if there is a specific question eg borders around ads near pictures etc ask here or email adsense and ask them. OK so I understand and believe that a small number of people are probably banned incorrectly each year, but most bannings are for a good reason, to protect publishers against click fraud. People don't usually spontaneously get together and agree to click on your ads to get you banned. Who would be bothered to do that. Meanwhile don't make a big thing about adsense to family / friends and if at all possible don't tell them at all - just say you earn from people advertising on your site. A very common mistake when starting out is to either click on a couple of ads to 'check it works' or click on a few ads from friends houses etc thinking that google won't notice. Trust me, they will. Play it straight and there's no big reason to worry.
lots of questions.. and most them are already answered.. why don't you just hang around in adsense section for sometimes ?
ah! again tooooooooooo many questions on one thread. I never had these many questions in my mind when I started my site with adsense. If you are in right path you will never banned by google. You must be careful and watch your adsense reports act accroding to that. Search the forum you will find solutions for your questions. As Abhik Abhik told most of your questions already answered.
The problem is people are out to get you banned and its too easy. I have read other threads and most of those banned were innocent. Someone can just click your ad 50 times and its bye for you. Someone could direct bad traffic to your site and get you banned. Someone could steal your assense ID, use your ads in his site and get you banned. He could even get your IP number, change his IP to the exact number as yours and make it look like your clicking on your own ads. Why would others get you banned? Jealousity, mischeivous, competitor, etc.
Blogger.com is OWNED by Google. If you detect a jump in clicks which looks suspicious, just report it to them. Et voilá, no ban.
