I must admit some of these
points are a little basic, but it would surprise you how easy it
is to make these mistakes.
Most people who blog, and
most certainly people who blog for a revenue, know, or need to
know, what not to do with their Google ads. I, way too often
notice blogs that fail to follow the Google Adsense rules, and
in turn loose out in any earnings they have made with the Google
Adsense program. Especially, it is very hard on those who have
expended much resources both financially and in ‘blood and
tears’ on their site, only to realize that they misunderstood
the rules, or even worse did not take the time to follow them
correctly (this regrettably seems to be the most popular
excuse). So here is a list, it is not exhaustive however, and I
may have missed some important points, so please feel free to
comment on this, as with all my posts (well 90% anyway) they are
interactive, via comments.
I would love to hear any
feedback and any additional points, which I will add to the
article if relevant.
1. Do not use other
contextual ads with Google Adsense
2. Do not tell people or
encourage them to click your ads, “sponsored links” or
“advertisements” are allowed, but no other terms.
3. Do not modify the Google
Adsense code.
4. Do not click on your own
ads, if you do by mistake - tell google, they love feedback from
their customers, and will appreciate you telling them this
information.
5. Do not use tools like
‘traffic generators’ with Google ads, or systems that you pay to
have people visit your site these may be seen as FALSE
IMPRESSIONS, and thus the clicks generated by this will not be
valid, and may result in Google suspending you Adsense account,
or removing the funds involved.
6. Do not place your ads in
a location where they might be seen to be part of another ad
service you may use.
7. Do not place your ads on
empty pages, for example if you are updating your site and you
have Google ads on your header, and say for example you have
created a section, which will be very popular soon, but is
currently empty, by placing your Adsense code on the page now
you may end up with ads that are not targeted correctly, as
Google sends out it’s ‘bots’ as soon as it can, usually within
30 minutes, and after that they may not come back for another 3
weeks, so you could be left with non paying ads (public service
ads) for they entire period, whilst you may have had high
traffic during that time.
8. Do not place more that 3
ad units on your blog/site ( they usually wont show anyway, so
you will just be wasting your time - and space)
9. Do not e-mail your
Google Adsense code, (yes people try to place them in
newsletters), but it does break Google’s TOS, so a big NO NO
10. Do not - not ask
questions, when in doubt always ask before you act!
