What can I do to ensure that my account won't be disabled?

Above all, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the AdSense program policies and ensure that all sites on which you display Google ads remain in full compliance with these policies.

Additionally, following these simple rules will help keep your account in good standing:


  • Don't click on your own Google ads.
    Clicking on Google ads on your own site for any reason is strictly prohibited. If you'd like more information about one of the advertisers appearing on your site, please type the URL of the ad directly into your browser's address bar, or use the AdSense preview tool.


  • Don't ask others to click on Google ads.
    Users should click on Google ads because they're interested in the services being advertised. Encouraging users to click on your Google ads, either directly or indirectly, can lead to inflated advertiser costs and can cause your account to be disabled.


  • Don't employ pop-up prompts or automatic software installations. Google is dedicated to improving the user experience on the Internet, and promoting responsible software principles is part of that effort. Sites showing Google ads may not prompt users to install software on their machines. Publishers must also not attempt to change users' browser home pages automatically or via pop-up prompts.


  • Be aware of how your site is promoted.
    Pages showing Google ads may never be loaded in an unrequested pop-up. This means publishers need to be very careful when purchasing traffic or setting up ad campaigns with third parties. Before contracting with any ad network, you should ensure that they will never display your site in pop-ups or as a result of the actions of any software application.


  • Don't place Google ads on sites that contain prohibited content.
    Google ads may not be displayed alongside any type of content prohibited by our program policies, including adult or mature content, gambling-related content, or drug content. It's your responsibility to ensure that all of your pages adhere to these policies.


  • Respect Google trademarks.
    Framing or mimicking Google pages is strictly prohibited by our Guidelines for Use of Google Brand Features. In addition, publishers may not use any Google Brand Features such as Google trademarks, logos, web pages or screen shots, without prior consent from Google.


  • Don't tamper with the AdSense code.
    AdSense offers a wide variety of approved formats, colors, and features in your AdSense account. Once you've generated your code, however, we ask that you do not alter any portion of the code or change the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason, unless specifically authorized to do so by Google.


  • Provide a positive user experience.
    Sites that contain excessive pop-ups, use sneaky redirects to obtain traffic, or otherwise attempt to interfere with normal web navigation aren't permitted in the AdSense network. Please make sure your site doesn't deceive your users in any way. In general, it's a good idea to follow our Webmaster Guidelines on quality to ensure that your site provides a positive user experience.


  • Provide a good environment for advertisers.
    Sites showing Google ads should not present a poor opportunity for advertisers. Sites that use tricks or deceptive practices in order to trigger inadvertent clicks on ads are prohibited.


  • Be responsive.
    Publishers are asked to be responsive to emails sent by the AdSense team. Be sure to keep your email address up-to-date, in case we ever need to contact you about your account. To update your email address, follow the instructions here.


We are constantly reviewing publishers for compliance with AdSense program policies and rules noted above. If you believe a site showing ads is in violation of these policies, please let us know. (AdSense Help Center - Google.com)

However, nobody is telling you how to make these adsense sites profitable. Well I want to do that in this article.

Firstly, lets look at the obstacle you have to overcome before you can make your adsense sites profitable.

4.New sites have to over come the Google sandbox phenemenon. You have to wait for your new adsense sites to be indexed,listed

and appear in Google serps for you to even think of earning money from the sites. This could take anywhere from 3 to 4 months.

5.How do you get your sites indexed in the first place?. Submitting your sites using the Google submission page is outdated.

Most major search engines now crawl sites from incoming links found in other sites. So how do you get links on other sites pointing to your sites.

6.How do you identify profitable keywords that you will use to build your sites?. You need high demand keywords to input in your sites to be able to generate the kind of clicks on your adsense ads that will bring in substancial amount of adsense revenue.

7.How do you make your new profitable keywords sites compete with the established sites?. Remember that profitable keywords are high demand keywords therefore, very hard to rank high in search engines.

8.How do you link your various sites so that you don't get into trouble with the searh engines?.

9.How do you use reprinted articles in your thousands of sites so that it does not look like everyother Dick and Harry's site and reduce the relevance of your sites?.

These are very important questions you will have to address before you can start dreaming of hugh adsense earnings fast. However, you can go the slow route and build good, unique content sites that will last longer and earn you revenue for long time even after adsense craze has died down. But this will take you years to do.

Now lets look at how you can build these profitable adsense sites fast. How you can overcome all the obstacles listed above.

This is by no means a simple and easy tasks I tell you. But the reward is money,money and plent of adsense money. You will also need some tools that will make the job easier. These tools will be shown to you at the bottom of this article.

Firstly, you need a software that can build hundreds of your adsense sites fast using reprinted articles. The software should be able to fetch reprinted articles from article sites, format these articles and create pages using your own templates. It is important you use your own template because you don't want to look like everyother person using the same articles.

However, if you don't want to use other peoples articles on your site, you can write them yourself (herculean tasks indeed if you have to build hundreds of sites), or you can hire ghost writers at www.elance.com to write these articles at very reasonable rates. There is one ebook that teaches how to hire ghost writers easily and at cheap rates. This is a better option than using articles from article sites. These articles are not keyword rich, their keyword densities are very poor and they are not well optimized for good seach engine ranking. Check at the bottom of this article for where to get the software and ebook.

The domain names for your sites should be your main keyword for that site. You are going to optimize each page using one keyword. You want the adsense ads to recognize your page for that one keyword so tha it delivers ads based on that one keyword. Use hyphen for your domain names. Register your domain names for at least 2 years so that you do not raise a red flag at Google.

Host your sites on different hosts servers. This will aid you in your link structure. You are going to link your various sites in such a way that some sites receive many links than others. The ones with hundreds of incoming links are the money makers. There are very cheap web host. Do a search for "$1.99 hosting" and you will get them. You can check for how long they have been in the hosting business by gong to http://www.archive.org

There is the Google sandbox phenemenon. There is nothing you can do about that. Wait it out. Use the waiting time to write articles for your different sites, submitting your sites to directories, (here is a comprehensive list of article submission sites at, www.ebizstartups.com/article-submission-sites.html), doing reciprocal linking, buying links(if you can) doing seo for your sites etc.

How do you identify profitable keywords? you can subscribe to some membership sites that research and offer these high demand ( profitable ) keywords to their members. Or if you want to do the research yourself, go to www.pixelfast.com/overture - ( a site that helps you see what folks are paying for ads on Overture ).

Armed with your high demand keywords, you then build not too many web sites with these keywords. These sites will be your money makers. But remember that it is difficult ranking high for these keywords at the free search engines. so you will build hundreds of sites with low demand keywords that are related to your high demand keywords and send traffic to your high demand keyword sites from your low demand keyword sites.

When you write articles,let the link in your resource box point to your low demand keywords sites. So that you can build link popularity fast and then link to your high demand keywords sites from your low demand keywords sites. This way you have hundreds of links pointing to your few high demand keywords sites. So you archieve two things by doing so. One , you send
traffic to your high demand keywords site and two, you build the link popularity of your high demand keyword sites. This will enable these high demand keywords sites compete favorably with other sites at the free search engines.

To cap it all.

What you are doing is basically building sites that will funel traffic as well as one way links to your high demand keyword sites using some very good resources for building your sites fast and obtaining the latest profitable keywords fast. Note that there are others ways to do this. But this is the safest way without getting your websites banned from the search engines. (Salihu Ibrahim - ebizstartups.com)

How To Maximize Adsense Earnings From Your Blogs

Earn Adsense income from your Blogs

Did you know you can use Google adsense on your blog? Don’t have a blog? Running, starting, and maintaining a blog is cheap, and in some cases free! So why haven’t you put Google adsense on your blog yet? Oh you don’t know how! Here’s why and how!

First if you are considering adding ads onto your blog, you should learn more about the specific rules Google has in regards to blogs, though it is very similar to the rules they have for sites.

Blog content is what Google likes

Using blogs for Google adsense plain makes sense! The content is original, and is considered high quality from Google’s concept, even though you and I know some of the Blogs on the net are plain idiotic! So qualifying a blog is often easier than a site!

Due to the nature of blogs, there is usually a lot of varying content, meaning on a Blog you can have thirteen different subjects, whereas on your site you are supposed to have only one or two. This makes getting very diverse and specific ads on your Blog, far easier than on your site!

A blog that invites feedback or interactivity with a user may attract a lot of clicks, because it attracts a lot of visitor’s. Your blog has the ability to attract a specific set of people who will be interested in your material. Thus your adsense ads will be even more specific!

You can also add a blog to your commercial site. Really! You can talk about your products or specific information that your customer’s might be interested in. You can talk about your company, or even get a little personal! Besides having the added benefit of getting you some adsense clicks, it might actually make people like you! Studies have shown that people will buy more from a person they find personable or that they know a little bit about. Tell them about you!

You can start a blog for free, like those on Yahoo! Or you can get software to start a blog on your site. The latter is best, because you will have the most control. Again you can visit Yahoo! web hosting and use the tool for free.

When you decide to get ads on your blog, remember there are a few ways to increase your click through rates, which are really about the same as on your site.

Optimize your Adsense ads

Make your ads as much a part of your website as possible. Use the same font, font-color and background for your Google ads.

DON’T use boxes, tables, or anything else that yells; Here are the ads for my site. Don’t hide the ads!Design your ads to closely resemble links for your site, or make them blend as part of your site. Use your preview toolbar when creating your ads, which will give you a clear indication of how your ads will look.

Remember, a good ad is one that does not distract, that blends in, but still arouses the interest of your visitors.

How long does it take to get a blog indexed with Google? Well unlike websites, blogs can be all-set with Google, in as little as three days or less in some cases!

Once you feel you are comfortable with Google adsense, you can then take the steps to get your blog to making you a little money! Go over all the rules for using the Adsense program, and remember, just because you are a blogger in this case, that doesn’t mean Google won’t remove your ads quicker than a dog can scratch a tick, if you are using profane, abusive, slanderous, or otherwise universally unaccepted public topics!

That in mind, the rest is easy. Google will explain the whole process, on the same site that I have already listed at the beginning of this article.

Use your blog to your advantage. Getting approved for ads on a blog is easier than a website, and if proper steps are taken to design your ad well, and provide interesting content, you can make some money with Google Adsense on your blog! (Andrew Perry - adsensefactfinder.com)

Adsense Income for Websites and Blogs - Target Adsense Revenue with Keywords

Why is Adsense such an important income generation tool for webmasters and bloggers? First, let us look at how Adsense works. An advertiser buys a banner or text advertisement and pays only when a potential customer clicks through to the advertiser’s site. The advertising rate is determined by market forces – the sum paid by advertisers and to webmasters varies according to the value of the keywords.

A website publisher or webmaster signs up with the advertising agent and pastes a javascript code on to their web page. Whenever the page is viewed it will display advertisements from the Adsense program, which are targeted by the spiders to relate to the web page content. For example, if the site is about parrots you can see ads for parrot training lessons (that is not a joke: check it out). There is no shortage of e-commerce advertisers willing to buy advertising, as the targeting possibilities increase the effectiveness of their advertising spend.

Every time a visitor clicks through on an advertisement, the website owner receives a share of the advertising revenue. This is a win-win for webmasters – no need to find advertisers, no rates to negotiate, no click monitoring, no invoices to issue.

Adsense and similar advertising packages are good for websites promoting affiliate programs and MLM as they offer the chance to customise the appearance of advertisements to suit the website’s needs. Site owners can choose from different advertising formats, selecting prominent boxed displays or lineage ads that look more like editorial content according to the tastes of their niche market.

These options should improve click through rates from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. This way the advertisers gain improved exposure for their advertising and the website makes money. Webmasters can access reports that show details of page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. Webmasters and publishers can now track the success of specific ad formats and spot trends.

The most successful formats can then continue, and less popular formats can be scrapped. With very little practice these ad tracking tools are easy to use. Advertising can be placed on a site in minutes, the site owner chooses whether to allow banners or text ads, and can block advertising from their main competitors.

Adsense is all about targeted content – if your content is rich in keywords it will attract quality ads from the search engines. There is a lot of hype at present about the income possibilities, and lots of junk sites are attempting to attract Adsense income using pure spider food. But the basic requirement has not changed: content is the most important factor, and the search engines can spot the difference. The smart webmaster can produce copy that satisfies the niche website’s audience and provides quality spider food as part of intelligent content.

Anyone working from home with an affiliate program and home based website, especially network marketing, will know there are not enough hours in the day for everything you need to do. If someone else is willing to produce and rotate the content, collect the money and pay your share to your bank every month, you have more time to produce good keyword content and drive traffic to your niche website.

How to Avoid Having Your AdSense Accout Banned for Click Fraud

If you trawl through the AdSense message boards you can’t help but come across tales of woe from AdSense publishers that have had their account banned by Google. Below is a list of ways people have been banned from AdSense and information on how to avoid it happening to you.

Don’t click on your own ads

The obvious one but still people do it. Google has the IP address of the computer/s that you’ve used to create and check your AdSense account. If it sees that this IP address clicks one of your ads you’re in trouble.

Don’t do it. It’s theft. Not from Google but from the AdWords advertisers.

If you want to go to a site advertised by one of your ads don’t click on it look at the URL of the advertising site at the bottom of the ad and type it into your browser.

If you click on one accidentally (which does happen) you’re probably be ok but it’s worth dropping a quick email to Google with an explanation and apology

Don’t log in to AdSense from a shared computer.

As I said above Google keeps a record of every machine IP address used to look at your account. If you check your stats on a machine then someone else clicks on your ads from the same machine Google sees this as click fraud. Worth bearing in mind when thinking of checking your stats from somewhere like an Internet Café.

Don’t log in to your AdSense account from work.

Apart from getting in trouble with the company that employs you there’s also a further real risk. Most companies use a proxy server to access the Internet. A proxy server with ONE IP ADDRESS. Therefore you checking your ads from work means this proxy IP address being recorded by Google as one that you use. Problem is if there are 1000 people in your company it is the same IP address for them too. Google can’t differentiate between you and the other 999 employees in your company. If one of these 999 clicks on one of your ads it’s ban time.

Don’t get into a ‘I’ll click your ads if you click mine’ agreement with another Webmaster.

As above Google will have your IP address and that of every AdSense publisher. If they see these IP addresses consistently clicking on each other ads it’s goodbye for both of you.

Don’t tell friends and family.

Telling friends and family about your money making websites can lead to problems. Even if you tell them not to click on your ads there’s always the chance that Auntie Maud will think it’s a good idea to make some extra money for her favourite nephew. 100 clicks later from the same visitor and your account is screaming ‘Click Fraud’.

Receiving clicks from illegal traffic

Check the AdSense TOS for sources of traffic that aren’t allowed by Google. These include methods like Traffic exchange, PTC advertising, Auto surf etc.

Do monitor your visitor and AdSense figures

Check your account at least once a day. If you see a massive spike coupled with a massive increase in Page CTR investigate using your visitor stats website. If you see it’s all come from the same IP address you could have been the victim of a malicious attack – inform Google via email and offer them access to your logs.
