How NOT To Get Your Google Adsense Account Banned For Life

I don’t think I need to give an introduction about google adsense, everyone who has a website/blog  would be knowing this:) and infact most of them create websites/blog just so that they can place their google ads on their site and make some money. Getting your site approved by google adsense for placing ads is not a big hurdle- most websites are approved as long as the content is decent, what most people don’t know is getting BANNED FOR LIFE- Kicked out of the google adsense program is also quite easy if you don’t follow the rules.

Let me split up this topic of discussion into two blog entries . In this  ill concentrate on what you should not do . In the next blog entry ill write a brief essay on how google could find out if your ad clicks are valid or not.

What you shouldn’t do-

1.Most people know this, and is also the most important factor. DO NOT CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADS. How do they find out if I click on my ads? Well for the answer to this question jump to the second blog which is right above this blog entry.

2.Do not ask for clicks in any way. Many blogs /website had printed on them “Click My Ads” , this is WRONG and google will ban your account. Also never post in forums or comments askin people to click on your sites ads.  Now you might ask how will google find ?? Well I don’t know.  But what I know is they will find out for sure. U might escape maybe for  a few months or even maybe even a few years, but then you will surely get caught. Who knows, maybe when your payment has reached 5000$ and after 2 years of working with google adsense, they might just come across one of your forum posts which u might have placed long ago, and will instantly block your account or BAN you for life. Why take the risk? Just go by the rules and try posting good content so that users visit your site.

3.”DO NOT” send google ads through e-mail to all your friends. Once a user clicks ads on email, it will be instantly registered in google’s server ,you will instantly get banned.

4. DO NOT PLACE MORE THAN THREE(3) AD UNITS AND THREE(3) AD LINKS OR TWO(2) ADSENSE SEARCH BOXES ON A WEB PAGE.” Well I don’t know the exact reason of the rule, but its there in the terms and conditions so its better you just follow it. And also do not ” edit, modify, filter, truncate or change the order of the information contained in any Ad, Link, Ad Unit, Search Result, or Referral Button, or remove, obscure or minimize any Ad, Link, Ad Unit, Search Result, or Referral Button in any way without authorization from Google;”

If you get banned , you can appeal, but most likely your account will not get reinstated, and if you are lucky you might get a second chance.

No don’t try creating another account for placing ads, once your site gets banned , there’s no point you’ll get banned again.

Most users get banned for mostly the above reasons. These are only a few rules set by goolge. For a comprehensive list check out the terms and conditions , privacy policy of google adsense.
