Avoid Getting Banned From Adsense - Take Adequate Precautions To Avoid This From Happening

Borrowing a sentence and distorting the same partially from a US Court case against Google, if it is said that “The web is becoming increasingly ‘Googlized”, it would not be wrong. Existing in a web space without Google has virtually become unimaginable. Whether you may need getting fully indexed by Google, or monetizing your site through adsense or ranking high in Google search results or be it getting page rank for your pages; what ever be your reason, you are going to need Google. After all, it has become a sort of objective source of finding content on the internet.

Google adsense and controversies.

Rise and rise of Google is not entirely unaccompanied by corresponding increase in litigation and protests over its terms of service. Some of these terms are plainly monopolistic; but you can not wish it away in a fair marketplace.

Those, who have adsense as revenue model for sustenance of their site, would always dread of having a mail like that your account was found to be related to invalid clicks and publishers disabled for invalid clicks are not allowed further participation in the program. Those banned from adsense have a unanimous complaint that they were not served with any warning or were not given any data by Google to substantiate claims of fraudulent clicks. Google on the other hand insists on protecting integrity of its proprietary technology and refuses to divulge any details.

Actually the whole system of adsense is so made up that anyone with just a basic understanding of the internet and search engine ranking can dynamically insert a javascript provided by Google in his website and earn substantial income that is very attractive considering that it takes no much time and one can work from comfort of his home in his free time. This view further gets strengthened when one comes across many “made for adsense sites” on the net that apparently seem to be doing well.

Of course, a unanimous argument is emerging that Google should explain its actions in more transparent way as to when it blocks adsense account or removes a site from its index and what irks the people most it that they are unable to find out how they can regain the lost indexing or page rank. Limiting myself only to the issue of disabling of adsense account in this article, let me opine very clearly that it is good. Nobody has right to cheat ad publishers and it is good that Google takes it seriously.

What can lead to banning from adsense?

Google is not known to take click fraud lightly as they also are to retain the advertisers interest in their mind. But I have seen that they are open to reason. I personally know at least ten webmasters whose account has been restored. If this disabling has happened to you, first action you must take to write them a mail giving all the reasons with some evidence as server log, files etc to strengthen your claim. It is definitely difficult regaining account from Google but if you are honest, it is not impossible. I think more often is the case where the person suffering the ban was doing something they shouldn't have been doing.

Some of things, you must avoid to avoid disabling of your account is signing up under multiple names, clicking yourself or through any network on ads appearing on your publishing network, generating robotized clicks through many enticing programs available on the net, expressly encouraging a visitor to your site to click an ad, having a site that is based on adsense arbitrage. I have seen many sites that expressly state something to the effect that their services are free but to help them sustain please click the ad. To mind, it is like playing with fire and such publishers can face disqualification any time. When you are buying a domain, please satisfy yourself that it is not previously blacklisted by Google. Remember when Google bans a site, it does not deliver ads to any other url which was previously running on same adsense pub-id.

One major reason of getting banned from adsense is get rich quick. A new webmaster, in case, he does not have much content on hi site would barely get 10-30 visitor on his site, which are not sufficient to help him earn from ad clicks. What he should do at that stage is to build good content but he is soon tempted by con men on the net selling something like "Automated Adsense Software". This is biggest scam happening where many new webmasters are trapped. Most of the time such software would steal content through scraping methods and creates thousand of content pages. As such search engines are cluttered with duplicate and useless content and you are risking getting banned from Adsense as this violates the terms of adsense.

Warnings by Google

Many webmasters whose sites have been banned, grudge that they never got any warning. Remember it is up to you to take precaution at the right time and keep checking the logs. Google will not give you any warning. However on a more personal note I have seen Google give warning or sorts. I saw a site which ultimately was banned, had high value ads being offered and gradually started getting low value ads and more and more of “Public Service ads” even when similar sites were served paying ads. This may be was Google’s way to telling that something is amiss.

What to do when banned from adsense?

Google bans publishers guilty of fraudulent clicks for life and does not allow then to rejoin the program. I would also like to share from my experience that such is Google’s reputation that many advocates who claim to specialize in fighting your case against Google to regain the account also would agree to take your case if you satisfy them that you are a victim and did not do any act against the terms of service.

There is no record of Litigation with Google being fruitful on this account. Google has its proprietary technology to detect such click frauds, which Google does not disclose. This stand of Google that it is not open to disclose its proprietary technology has been upheld by various courts. If you are the one whose account has been disabled, I don’t want to appear distressing to you but from my own experience in dealing with such cases, I must say generally ‘something’ is there which leads to Google disabling the account. If you are sure you did not indulge in such acts, must look around. May be some competitor did it to hurt you.

Sweet MEthods to get traffic for your new blog

Blog is the one of the most popular medium that enables publishers to start earning money with Adsense. Content is the very first thing that you need to have. After that, driving traffic to your blog is also a very difficult part. Questions on driving traffic to the blog are always the most popular question to be raised in Adsense Help Discussion Group. Joing PPC advertising program can be one effecive way, but not every blog publisher can affor to pay to join such program. In this post, I am going to discuss three quickest yet free method that drive the first stream of traffic to your blog.

1. Post messages and leave signature on related forums/ groups

Just like what I normally do in Adsense Group. Leaving the URL of your blog as the signature is quite effective in driving traffic to your site. All you have to do is find some forums or groups that are related to your area of interest. Just like my blog, who is talking about making money with Adsense, I choose the Adsense Help Group as my primary forum to leave messages. Of course, if you have time, you can find out more related forums by searching through various Search Engines.

Go to a few that you find informative and read around a bit. Join a couple of the forums, that you find interesting and are of value to you, as a member. However, one thing to remind you is that you should check out two things before joining any forum after doing searching.

- A forum must be indexed by the search engines, particularly by Google. If it's indexed, your posts will appear as backlinks to your site, raising your blog's PR (PageRank) in the search engines. You can gain search engine traffic as a result.

- A forum must also permit the use of a signature file. By creating a signature, that includes your blog URL, you have a link that brings forum members back to your blog.

In your member profile, be sure to use a "signature" that includes a link back to your blog. Make certain the signature appears on all of your postings. Without that link, no new traffic can find you.

2. Tell everyone you know about your blog

This offline networking technique will bring a fresh batch of visitors to your blog. As you become more comfortable with talking to people about your blog, your traffic numbers will take a jump. Many of them will surf to your blog, to read what you have to say.

But remember, only ask your friend or relative to visit your blog, but do not mention or request them to click the ads for you. Encouragement or providing incentives to click your ads is highly prohibited under Google’s TOS. Bear that in mind!

3. Put your links on your e-mails

When you send out any e-mails, either personal or business, be sure to add a link to your blog to each and every one of them.

With a quick and easy to click hot link back to your blog, many of your e-mail recipients will drop by for a look. While not everyone will check out your blogging activities, a few will. Another source of new visitors has been added, with minimum effort.

These three free and quickest methods are, after trial, quite effective to drive traffic to a new blog. You should make a try on them now and start earning big bucks through Adsense!

Optimize Your Blog

If you have been serving Google Adsense ads on your website's for a while, or is getting ready to do it, you are probably wondering how you can benefit the most from Google's Adsense program....

It is no secret that there is big bucks in writing e-books, courses and creating products geared around Google's Adsense program. Many of these products are sold for several hundred dollars, claiming that they will show you "the hidden secrets" to Adsense success.

Some of the Adsense products and Adsense books offered does actually offer you value for your money, but there are also many scam artists operating in this business.

Let us tell you the biggest secret to Google's Adsense program "There are NO secrets!".

Now, how can we claim this?

By using pure logic, it is obvious that everyone is bound by the same terms and conditions for using Google's Adsense program, which again means that the only party that is in full control is Google.

With that being said, there are several things you can do to optimize your Adsense earnings, also without being in danger of violating Google's Adsense Terms.

1. Select the Google Adsense Ad type that fits your design best - and gives the best CTR.

Through several months of research, both by us and other Adsense users, it has been concluded that the 2 best general performing ad types are:

• Skyscraper 160x600 with text ads.
• Placement: Left or Right side
• 
  
• Big Rectangle 336 x280 with text ads.
• Placement: Top or Middle

2. Select a Colour scheme that fits the design of your pages.

This is a much discussed part about optimizing Adsense income, and the opinions does vary.

However, our recommendations is that you select one of the following Colour schemes.

2.1 Colour scheme that matches your website

If you look to the top of this text, you will see that the Google Adsense ads are served on a white background (the same as the page background), without any borders, and with a font and link colour that matches the rest of the site. This is what is called a "non-intrusive" Adsense ad colour scheme, because it doesn't scream at the website visitor, and is therefore considered a part of the site, instead of a disturbance to the eye.

2.2 Use a random colour scheme (secret revealed!)

By using the techniques discussed in Adsense Tips, you can have Google serve Adsense ads on your website, and dynamically switch between 4 different colour schemes. This is actually one of the much overlooked features of the Adsense program, and by some referred to as a "big secret"...

3 . Do SEO (search engine optimization) on your website.

Google doesn't reveal how it's Googlebot determines what type of ad's to show on your website.

But if you follow these guidelines, it is our experience that Google does serve highly relevant Adsense ads, and additionally your websites will get well indexed by search engine robots.

• Use a METATITLE, that defines what each page is about.
• Use METATAGS, to define the keywords that match your page content.
• If possible, register a domain name that has your top keyword in it.
• On the first line of the page, give a descriptive title of your page in

  tags.

• Try to avoid using top navigation, use left navigation instead.
• Always create a robots.txt file.
• Remember to create a sitemap file.
• Do a search on Google for "SEO" and gather more information.

4. Optimize your website for high paying Adsense keywords.

This is where you can make a big difference on your Adsense income. As mentioned earlier on this website, Google Adsense clicks varies from $0.00 and up to several dollars a click. The trick in optimizing your pages with high paying keywords, without breaking Google's Adsense terms, or damaging your site's content, is to do a bit of research and abstract thinking..

You will never be able to know the exact price a click on a given keywords gives you, this is a well guarded "Google secret". However, you can use 2 different legal and freely available tools, to get a better estimate on each keyword.

If you signup to Googles Adwords program, you will get access to different tools - including Google's AdWords TrafficEstimatorSandbox.

Here you can get an estimated cost to AdWords advertisers for a given keyword, and test out different keywords. You can use Google's AdWords keyword suggestion tool to have variations of your keywords suggested.

Let's assume that you have created a website about Horses, and you have decided to expand your site with more content.

A search with the above mentioned method shows the following price per keyword :

• Horses $0,33
• Model Horses $1,34
• wooden rocking horses $1,11
• Arabian Horses for sale $0,98
• thoroughbred horses $0,66

So just out these examples, you might want to consider writing your next page about Arabian Horses for sale, or maybe even add a page about Model Horses, or wooden rocking horses for your readers children.

This method is also very useful when trying to determine if there are higher paying keywords, that you can target with the same content. From your readers perspective you are still offering content on the same subject, and for the Google AdWords advertisers, you are offering original content about their subject, and therefore highly targeted prospective buyers.

Please, always remember to write your content for your readers not for Adsense, since this can result in having your Adsense account terminated, and all your earnings will be lost.

5. Increase website traffic

Up to now, we have been discussing means of improving your CTR and click prices. Another factor, that is easy overlooked is your websites traffic.

Always try and increase your site traffic, i.e. by offering free valuable content, hold contests, offer newsletters, contribute to forums that are relevant to your topic etc.

6. Use Google Adsense Adlinks on your site.

This new type of Google Adsense Ads, have a different layout and function that the usual Adsense ads. When you add Adsense Adlinks to your WebPages (you can add both Adsense ads, Adsense search and Adsense Adlinks to the same page), your visitors will be presented with 4-5 links. Each link represent what google determines to be the most relevant keyword for your site, and when clicked on, your visitor is taken to a page displaying relevant Adsense ads to the link clicked on. Once again, any clicks registered on this page counts towards your Adsense income.

7. Use Google Adsense site search.

Offer your sites readers the possibility to search directly on Google from your site. Besides providing a search field, you will also have the added benefit that the search result page displays Adsense ads. Any clicks on these Ads, will be counted as clicks created from your website, and can thereby potentially increase your Adsense income.

Note: Google's Adsense Terms strictly forbids publishers to alter the search code (i.e. pre populating the search field), or encouraging its users to use the search field.
