Protecting Your Adsense Account
To those of you who are monetizing your websites with Google Adsense, be aware that strict rules apply. The terms that Google places on Adsense Publishers are there for mainly two reasons. One: to help the website owner get the most out of Adsense. Two: to maintain the internet’s appeal to the masses.
Clicking Your Own Ads is Bad
The quickest way to get your Adsense account banned is by clicking your own ads. DO NOT CLICK YOUR OWN ADS. Google will find out, and your account will be shut down faster than you can think about it. This is a no-no.
Telling Others to Click Your Ads is Equally Bad
Another way to get your Adsense account closed is by telling your visitors to click the ads. Telling the visitors that they should click your ads is a blatant action against Google’s terms of service, which everyone who owns a website with Adsense as a monetizing source, should know by heart.
Building Garbage Sites Stinks
Making your website for Adsense is also a big problem. Garbage sites that are thrown together just for clicks is beginning to be one of the main problems that Adsense is facing today. Remember how I said that Google is making sure the web stays user-friendly? This is a reason why they will shut your site down.
Read the Terms and You’ll Be Alright
The point is: make sure you read the Terms of Service. And when in doubt, contact Google and see if there is a problem with it! Always make sure you’re reading proper information, as well, never take someone’s word at face value. As soon as you try something new, and you feel like it should work, that might be the day Google cracks down on you, and you’ll miss out on the opportunity to make money online with Google Adsense.
