Hi guys, I need some advice. I have had my adsense account for over 5 years now. I have 5 sites -- and together they make $3000 a month. I use this as my sole income. I am very worried - as the sites, dispite being very popular, and getting real visitors, and all genuine links and visitors. The problem is none of them have more than 100 words per page. The main content is flash games. So there is a game on the page, a tiny bit of info, and that's it. I'm not sure what the minimum content per page is -- but im sure it's more than that!!! Last week - i got an email disabling one of my smaller sites, it only makes $4 a month -- so i just took off the adsense, and removed it from all my other sites that dont make any cash. I just left my adsense with the 5 main sites making money. My real question is, after 5 years of making money, and making $3000 a month -- would my sites already have been manually checked by google, and have been accepted -- even with the low content??? Am i just being lucky right now - and dispite getting a lot of money for google, they could just pull the plug because there is not enough content? Should i just stop worrying, and say that google must be ok with my content after all this time? Thanks so much for reading my post.
I think just because your sites are old doesn't mean that they were manually viewed by adsense team. So you can expect anything from adsense at any time. I don't know about the minimum content requirement per page that you are talking about. But I think you shouldn't solely depend on adsense. You must have a parallel income stream. What will you do if your account gets disabled tomorrow? Which is very much possible with adsense.
Actually Google has special Adsense for flash game sites If you use Adsense for games, then you do not have to worry about low text content.
You should definitely keep other sources of making money in hand. Because no one knows when his adsense account get disabled....
This is why you need to have some diversification in your income sources. Use other programs like CPA or affiliate marketing besides adsense to make sure money comes on a regular basis to your account.
I work with Google 5-6 years. Had problems and good times too with Google adsense. I can say only this: Google adsense can disable your account any time. They don't care you work on them 2 years or 5 years. Even if you know their rules 100% and your websites are computable 100% with rules. Google adsense may disable account any kind of reason. They can block you any time. with out of any explanation. I know about 8-10 big websites which are not compteble with adsense ruls, and they still have adsense over 4-5 years and now too. If you search over net, you can find unlimited number of users which are disabled. adsens has very aggressive politics about disabled accounts. As you know adsense works from 2003, and they continue years and years doing same thing, block users without any explanation. And at the end, I read lot about google adsense, and have came to one idea. They all time are looking for ratio of users. adword and adsense users. All time maintaining limits. Because of that new adsense users are waiting sometimes over month and more to get approve. Disabling an kick off users for any kind of detailed information and reason was the main idea of adsense. So this my small opinion.
For flash game sites text content is not a criterion. Google knows it well. Only thing is you should ensure that you comply to Google Adsense TOS. Find out why one of your small sites was disabled and stop worrying.
