Hi, I was alredy accepted by adsense yesterday, here are some concerns: 1) is promoting my page by this programs against adsense TOS? traffic exchanger: like sas or ts25 ptr/ptc: like springlinks or wolfemails posting my link on forums promotion by banners in other pages 2) yesterday, my first day I was paid around 0.4$ per click this dramatically drop to 0.02$ per click today. For the ads that I see (and most of my members are from my same country) I think the ads are the same, is just that the pay drop, don´t know why. 3) I have a section where the ads are not too related to the content of my page but for what I read are better paid ads. The question: should I try to optimize that page to show ads more content related or leave it as it is since the clicktrough is better paid? Well, thanks a lot for the help have a nice day
Avoid it I don't know Allowed You have no sample data to check it. You may need some more relevant contents on these pages or use section targeting.
Costs per click also flux depending on the time of day. I would suggest that perhaps later today you will see your cost per click rise to yesterday's total. When advertisers give a figure to a MAXIMUM cost per click, it does not mean that every click will cost that amount. Some, in some instances, will cost less - your question I'd say is related to this. Don't worry, G are not ripping you off and a .02c drop is really not dramatic
Thanks for the help! just one more question, there is any way of promoting my page for free and accepted by google?
As far as adSense is concerned you should be able to promote your site any way you like as long as you don't promote "clicking the ads". Gaining rank as is another question. From my understanding some forms of link exchanges can hurt your ranking. Oh ya, spam. I don't *think* you can send out a bunch of spam with a link to an adSense page, but I'd have to re-read the TOS I have only comitted 80% of it to memory so far
