    There's a reason why people with sites about Adsense don't run Adsense adverts.

    First off, the "Adsense" in your domain name is likely an infringement of Google's trademark. According to the Adsense terms and conditions:
    If you go to that URL you find the following rule under "Things You Can't Do ":
    The guidelines also say you need to get their permission to use their trademark on your site.

    There is also the issue of whether talking about pay per click advertising might be interpreted as encouraging people to click on your ads, and Google would likely frown on a site that has suggestions on how to game the system.

    You have to decide whether it's worth risking your account to run Adsense on your site.
