    Google Adsense - These important things you Should Avoid to get banned!

    I know everyone like and want to earn money with their Website Content and Google Adsense. Here's a list of what not to do, unless you want to get banned from Google AdSense. Google doesn't play around when it comes to click fraud. Click fraud loses Google money, and it loses AdWords customers money.

    If you don't play by the rules, you may get a warning, you may get suspended, or you may just get banned by Google Adsense.



    1. Commit Google Don'ts

    The first thing to avoid is any of the Google Don'ts. Cloaking, keyword stuffing, and title stacking are all ways to get banned from Google searches. They're also ways to get banned from AdSense.

    When you place AdSense ads on your site, your site is far more visible to Google and it's much more likely that your rule breaking will be caught.



    2. Click on Your Own Ads

    No matter how tempting, never ever click on your own ads. This is probably the easiest way to get your site suspended or banned. It's a form of click fraud, and Google is very good at catching this, even if you think you're hiding your tracks.

    Don't let anyone who uses any computer in your home click on your ads, either. Make sure your significant others and children are aware of the rules, or you could jeopardize your standing with Google.



    3. Hide Your Ads

    It might be tempting to hide your ads by making them the same color as your background or camouflaging them on areas with busy background images. You do still get paid for pageviews, so invisible ads would still pay, right? Don't even try it. This violates Google's Terms of Service, and it's easy to get caught.

    Don't stuff your ads far below the rest of the content, either. Clicks pay better than pageviews, so it's to your advantage to have your ads prominent. Try to make the Google adsense look like they belong on your page.



    4. Beg for Clicks

    Don't hold ad-click contests, beg, or even give big hints that people should click on your ads. They can ban you if they catch you begging for clicks anywhere on the Web, including pages that are totally unrelated to your AdSense Sites.

    Google also forbids labeling your ads with language stronger than "sponsored links." This is really for everyone's benefit. Pages that beg for clicks are usually not great reads, and pity clicks don't help the advertisers.

    Note: It's fine to have a Forum contest on your Web site that aren't related to ad clicking or other rule breaking, such as "best photo" contests.



    5. Alter the Code

    AdSense generates javascript code that you can copy-and-paste directly into the HTML of your Web page. If you need to change the color or size of your ads, generate new code from Google AdSense. Don't make changes to the code from your Web page editing program or tweak it by hand.

    If you put AdSense in Blogger, Google will generate the code for you from within Blogger.



    6. Use Robots to Click on Your Site

    Never use any sort of automated tool to inflate your page views or click on your ads. This is click fraud of the highest order, and Google is very sophisticated at catching this. This is a trick that can easily get you banned.

    Likewise, don't use human-powered schemes to pay for clicks, either. No trading clicks with other AdSense users, and no pay-for-clicking schemes. If advertisers wanted to pay people for clicking, they would have signed up for it themselves.



    7. Tell People How Much You Earn Per Click

    Google is very picky about how much you disclose about how AdSense works. They don't let you tell people how much you were paid per Google Adsense keywords, because this could jeopardize revenue from AdWords advertisers. Beware of anyone who offers to sell you this information.



    8. Make Pages Specifically to Display Ads

    Google says you can't make pages simply to hang ads, "whether or not the page content is relevant." Many Web sites, including About.com, make money from ads. Google itself makes most of its money from advertising. What makes the difference between ad sponsored content and content for the sake of ads?

    When you develop your site, your first thought should be about creating content, not ads. Avoid writing empty sentences for the sake of generating keywords, and avoid lengthy copy-and-pastes just to make more pages. Every page you publish should have a content-driven purpose.



    9. Make Content About Taboo Topics

    Google has a strict list of content standards, and they don't accept Google AdSense on pages that are violating them. These include, among other things, sites that promote or sell:
    • alcohol
    • certain weapons
    • firearms
    • tobacco
    • drugs
    • designer knock-offs
    • p*orn
    • movie streams
    • warez



    This is a silly rule to violate, because Google AdSense is keyword generated, so it's amazingly easy for you to get caught. If you do have content that violates these rules, such as a beer-making supply store, they may be legitimate sites, but Google AdSense is not for you.



    10. Cheat in Any Other Way

    This isn't by any means a comprehensive list.

    I'm sure there are many ways to game the system that Google hasn't found out about... yet. There always are. AdSense is constantly changing to find new ways to detect click fraud, and eventually you will be caught.

    The best way to generate income through AdSense is to create good content that is well optimized for search engines and to promote your site through legitimate channels.

    That sounds like a lot of work, because it is a lot of work. However, it's a strategy that won't get you banned from google adsense.

    Sending low grade traffic to your sites is another way to get banned. If clicks which come from your sites don't covert then Advertisers can't earn. So if they complain AdSense will just ban you. Also if most of your traffic from Countries like China can do same. If your Ads are from US or European Adversities who expect US/European traffic won't be happy to have Aisan traffic which wouldn't work for them. These things matters in long run. pay attention to your traffic sources and locations.

    If Google has blocked ads to a page or a site there is probably a violation of their content guidelines. Some of these are done with filters primarily on the page level. SeoBunny has a pretty good list of Google 'don't' words in a post about a script that automatically finds and replaces those words with ****. If it is on the site level they may send you a notification to your account email address.

    If they block specific site or even if they ban your whole account they send you a mail stating the reason.

    I'd like to add 11: Never add Adsense to a website if you don't have established sites running Adsense or you are at least getting some traffic already. The chances of getting banned for invalid clicks is exceptionally high at the beginning, don't be greedy and build some traffic first if you are new to Adsense. One idiot on a site with pretty much no traffic at all be as deadly as clicking by yourself.

    Wow fantastic tips I couldn't have worded it any better.. Another tip I think that could be used is I would suggest not applying for Google Adsense unless you have had your website up for at least 6 months and has at least 25 or more arctiles or 2500post to get approved.. Like you can apply before that but you will most likely have to wait another 6 month to re apply.

    Good tips, but most of it is common sense. As long as you are making websites that deliver exceptional quality content and give the users a great experience while serving ad content that is revelent, you're in the clear. Focus more on the overall user experience and making it the best you can and the money will follow. And, the better your conversions are for your advertisers may help boost your overall earnings, too!

    I got banned from Google after over a year (My account didn't even add up to $1 then!!!)
    They policy is too strict and there is no second chance. Better try other networks which are more user friendly
