Adsense Tips: common beginner mistakes

Let’s say you’ve your account approved by the Adsense team and you’ve paste your code onto your site. Everything is ready now, and you’re starting get some commission earned from the ads. You’re pretty excited and go to the forums to discuss various ways to improve your site and earning. Suddenly you receive an email from Google mentioning you’re banned and you’ve absolutely no idea what happen.

A lot of people has experienced the above scenario and try to reinstate their account. Most of them are beginners. In this article, I’ll list out a few points to help you to avoid getting yourself into such situation.

Since more clicks means more revenue. A lot of people will try to figure out ways to increase their number of clicks. The most common mistakes is to click the ads yourself. Remember, never click those ads yourself. If you clicked it by mistake, that’s ok. However, if you clicked it constantly like once per day that would get you into trouble. Besides, don’t ask your friends or others to click it.

Now, there are certain program or goup known as click farms. They claimed that they’ll deliver clicks to your ads and all you do is to join and pay them by certain amount. These kind of click exchange programs should be avoided. Always keep in mind that using such methods to earn your clicks is highly prohibited.

Also rememer to stay away from programs like autosuft, paid-to-surf and paid-to-click. Anyone using such programs to generate clicks or impressions will be banned from Adsense.

Another common mistakes is that people tends to talk about their Click Through Rate (CTR) in forums. Never do this! According to the Terms of Conditions of Adsense program, you’re not allowed to disclose your CTR or you’ll get yourself banned.

What about pop-ups? Can I put the Adsense ads in the pop-ups? The answer is NO!! Never put your adsense ads in any kind of pop-ups.

One last thing to mention is that adding the adsense ads to your site is different from putting a donation icon to it. So, don’t try to ask your visitors to click it and don’t trick them to do it either.

Just to remember, there is no easy way in earning money especially with Adsense. It takes time to build up your traffic. Once you get yourself banned, you may never have the chance to apply for the Adsense program anymore.

Don’t worry about the traffic of your site. I’ll share some of my tips and experience with you in which to help you to improve your site traffic and it is absolutely legal with Google. So, stay tuned!
