5 Most Common Mistakes People Makes and Get Banned from Google AdSense

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In the morning I was reading this very interesting story by Melvin, he explains how Big Daddy Google banned him for violating Terms of Service of using their most popular advertising program Google AdSense. I know him very well, He is a great guy but some how he did it unintentionally, well he is not the only person who breaches the AdSense Terms of Service, we always overlooked reading terms and conditions in a hurry for signing up to the best money making tool available for bloggers.

Let me produce here few common mistakes which bloggers generally do and get banned by Daddy Google. One should avoid these mistakes in order to protect AdSense account from getting banned by Google.

[1] Never try to click your own AdSense ads

This is actually what Melvin did and got banned. He was clicking his own Ads. Clicking your own ad inventory is a sin (and I mean it). If you are doing this then you are inviting Google to throw you out of their AdSense Program. Also do not ask your office partners, associates or friends to click on them. Don’t even think of offering incentives for clicks, using automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. Google is very smart to detect fraudulent clicks

[2] Don’t change the AdSense code

This is the second most common mistake people do. There are enough means of AdSense optimization and customizations available to change the color, background or border to suit your website needs. Do whatever you want to do leaving aside the code, never fiddle within the ad or the search code. They know it when you do it.

[3] AdSense ads should open on the same page

Don’t change the AdSense code in order to get the targeted link or advertisement to open in a new window. It’s a condition that the target ad should be open on the same page.

[4] Do not open separate AdSense Account for each website

One AdSense account can serve multiple websites .You do not need to create separate accounts for each websites you own. One account will do. If you think that you will make use of another account if one account is closed down for violation of TOS then I want to tell you that you are wrong, they will find out all the other accounts you own and ultimately will close down all the accounts. They are smarter then you think.

[5] Do not cloak or mask ad elements

You may alter colors and border to blend or contrast ads as per your site requirements. But if you modify or edit the AdSense code where the URL of targeted link is of the same color as the background then you are inviting trebles, here you are hiding important and relevant components of the ads. Also you cannot hide the phrase “ads by Google”. Do not block the visibility of ads by overlapping images, pop ups, tables etc.

Hope you understand and respect what Google wants from you. You may always inquire for help from Google AdSense Support Staff.

These are the five common mistakes which I think can leads to permanent closure of your Account with Google AdSense. If you know more share it in the comment section below. Avoid them and make money.
