hey, im not really new here, I always used digitalpoint but never made an account until today, sad, i know. lol But, I had a question. When is the best time to put AD's on your site? AdSense particularly. My friend once had AdSense last year and I remember he showed me a email where he got banned because "He was a risk to advertisers" or something like that, basically because he wasn't getting enough money for google? Even though google says they do not terminate people for this. Anyway, here is this MONTH report from analytics: 1st Website - 10,700 Visits // 30,000 Pageviews 2nd Website - 11,000 Visits // 46,400 Pageviews 3rd Website - 10,000 Visits // 40,000 Pageviews those are the stats and growing. I read the T.O.S and my sites are full of pages, content and older than 6 months. I have never implemented AD's before but I need the extra $$ to get a better server which will cost. So, any thoughts, tips or ideas? i need tips because I never ran AD's before.
Google doesn't ban accounts because of low earnings, period. People get banned for clicking their own ads (or using friends, click exchanges, etc) and not following the TOS - like putting adsense on sites with copyright infringing content, adult content, etc. If you read the TOS and still have doubt, email and ask adsense before you put ads on the site.
OK, but I am sure he and other people reported that google "Risk to advertisers" email. Also, whats your views on the 2nd part of my Q?
"risk to advertisers" means the site was in violation of the tos - it could be a number of things, but had nothing to do with low earnings. Tips? Experiment with different ad formats and colors and see what works best. Start with the 336x280 with the link color that blends with your site - there is no magic format that will work on every site. Google gives you tips on ad placement - but you need to experiment. There is absolutely no way to estimate what you will make - it depends on your niche and how your traffic converts for the advertiser.
OK Thanks for the tips! I will definitely contact google and go through all the legal stuff (reading full TOS, policy, etc..) But yeah about the email, he still has the email to this day and it listed no other reason except "Being a risk to advertisers and looking in the best interest of their business, advertisers, etc."
those are decent traffic, should be handy in getting some adsense income for your server cost. If you are unsure whether you are breaking the TOS, you can always ask around in the forum for a review. I'm sure you will get some good answers. Just remember, DON'T click on your own ads, and you should be fine.
