How To Get An AdSense Account

By Richard Allen

AdSense can bring you untold riches if you run it on your website. Indeed many site owners lives have been changed completely with the income that it has generated for them, and will continue to generate for years to come.

So you have looked at the programme in detail, done some basic research on it and realised that as it is contextual advertising that the ads displayed will complement your content and so you now want to go about applying to the AdSense programme and get the code installed on your site as fast as possible right? So what is to stop you from applying right now?

Well quite a lot particularly if you have not done your homework and some research as to what your site needs to feature before you can apply.

Google AdSense is based on their Terms Of Service (TOS), and the website quality guidelines, which many people pay lip service to when they apply and then they simply get reject. And once your site has been rejected is very hard to then get that site approved no matter how many times you re-submit it.

Indeed it is not uncommon to read on an Internet forum that someone has applied five or six times, only to get rejected each time. In the main this happens because people just think Google is being awkward, yet the reality is that the website owner has not made the changes to their website in terms of quality site content, or ignoring the TOS or site quality guidelines. They think by just re-applying constantly that Google AdSense will give them an account, this clearly is not the case as they have a duty of care to their advertisers.

If your site looks no good, then why would you expect them to let you run ads on it? Many people also fall down on basic details such as missing out parts of the application form, which needs a correct fully working email. Likewise your site cannot be "Under construction" - You might finish it next week, but the how are they going to know that when you apply.

I just cannot re-iterate how important it is to get your AdSense application right the first time, it is actually not too hard to do, although nine times out of ten you will need to make some changes to your site, such as making sure you have a privacy policy displayed.

So if you are having problems applying for an AdSense Account and want to find out how to get an account approved in just hours! Not days or weeks, or you just want to make sure you get your application right first time, then visit my AdSense experts site, where you can learn how to get an AdSense account easily approved the first time when Applying For AdSense.

Top 5 Mistakes AdSense Publishers Make

By Kean Graham

You will hear from many successful internet marketers that Google AdSense is an excellent program for generating revenue for your website with little effort and maintenance. Profiting from Google AdSense can be easy if you know and comply fully with AdSense terms of service, and avoid common AdSense website mishaps and problems. Here are the top 5 AdSense mistakes made by web publishers:

#1. Knowledge of AdSense Terms of Service
Knowledge of AdSense terms of service is where many new to publishing and advertising on the Internet make their first serious AdSense mistakes so we have rated it as number 1 in our list of the top 5 mistakes AdSense Publishers make.

Many apply and have AdSense ads on their sites without actually reading the terms of service refer to it as TOS. Unfortunately, this lack of understanding can lead to termination. Once you are banned from Google AdSense, you will have a difficult time trying to get reinstated. Google consistently changes their policies and they are harsh as well as greedy. Lack of knowledge is no excuse. If they deem your site is in disarray or displays negligence of proper maintenance such as broken links, they may issue warnings or shut you down. Therefore, of all the rules and policies on the Internet, AdSense TOS is probably one of the most important to stay current on. It is important to note that AdSense terms and conditions may vary as to your Country and billing address. Be knowledgeable and change your sites as required to ensure you are in compliance to maintain AdSense membership and income potential.

#2. Solicit Clicks
Another one of the terrible sins under AdSense mistakes is for you to click on one of the ads placed on your site. As well, you cannot promote or solicit clicks from others, use automated tools or software designed to click on ads. Fraudulent clicks are strictly prohibited. Do not enlist your sites on traffic exchange or auto-surf programs. Google investigates clicks and those suspicious can result in no money and a lifetime ban. Occasionally, someone may illegally click your ads to get you banned. Report immediately and consider temporarily disabling the AdSense ads until Google has researched the AdSense problems and you have been cleared of any negligence. If you must check the ads appearing on your site, use the Google Preview Tool. Using click tracking software is highly recommended as a good marketing tool such as testing ad placement and to follow where clicks are originating.

#3. Change the AdSense Code
You do have options with optimizing and customizing your AdSense ads. Many feel that placement of AdSense ads is critical to success. Color must complement your web page so pay attention to detail such as the color of background, borders and text. You also must adhere to the number of AdSense ads you can place on your site. However, you can never make any changes to the actual ad or the code which Google has provided. This is absolutely forbidden and another violation of the TOS. Your website is only hosting the ad from another advertiser with the hopes that they, Google and you will make money from visitors to your site whom click on the particular ad.

#4. Multiple Google AdSense Accounts
Only one AdSense account per individual or business entity is allowed. If you are caught with more, you will be banned and not just on the one account but all accounts. That is a huge loss of potential revenue, thus not worth the effort of trying to outsmart Google. You can have as many websites as you want under the one account. While you apply with a primary website, you are not restricted to adding more non-related websites later. Google AdSense accounts are not transferable, assignable or resalable.
#5. Placing Ads on Content and Other Web Pages

Here is another common mistake that many AdSense publishers make. They do not truly understand what a content page is, what can be displayed on this page or how it can be displayed. Google does not accept about me websites, disorganized sites such as those with broken links, or sites which do not have enough original content. Content pages should contain "keywords" related to the theme of your website. These keywords are what will drive visitors to your site, read your information and interest the visitor in clicking on one of the related AdSense ads. This content should be unique and original, on topic with the theme of your site. It cannot be stolen, copied from another unless of course with permission. Copyright laws must be obeyed which includes images, videos and graphics. Content pages are not welcome or thank you pages, login registrations, gateways, emails, or pop-ups. If in doubt, do not put the AdSense code on the page.
As well, you cannot place your images next to ads which could mislead or confuse visitors or block the visibility of the AdSense ads with pop-ups for example. Lastly, you cannot have content that is of pornographic nature, hate-related, violent or illegal activity.

Your content pages may be designed for the primary source to generate AdSense income, or you may have another purpose but also want the earning potential of a passive income from AdSense, however to succeed, you must have interesting, original and "keyword" rich content that will attract and engage the visitor. You want this visitor to stay and click on those ads which will eventually lead to Google sharing the wealth and mailing you funds. And if you should get yourself banned due to violations of AdSense terms and conditions, do not despair. There are alternatives to Google AdSense which can also generate income for your sites.

Blogging With Google Adsense - Earn Easy Money for Your Website Content

By Sam Alnawar

For many years, the Google AdSense program has provided a steady income for those who have devoted their time to implementing it on their websites and blogs. It is a nice way to earn extra money hosting ads on a website you already maintain anyway. AdSense pays you for visitor clicks to the advertised products and/or services.

Advertisers pay for the added exposure they receive from Google, and you get a portion of that revenue by directing bloggers towards the products and services of the advertiser. If you have several blogs, you may receive a tidy sum for just allowing the ads to appear there. You don't have to maintain them or select which ones appear on your site; all the behind the scenes work is done by Google.


What Are the Rules for Google AdSense?
Google maintains the ads, but you must follow certain rules to be in compliance with the AdSense requirements.

1. The first requirement is to have a privacy policy displayed on the website so every visitor can easily find it. There is some specific content the policy must contain. Failure to place the policy on your site can result in Google's refusal to allow you to participate in the program.
2. Do not click on your AdSense ads in attempts to earn ad revenue. You must also refrain from asking friends and family to click on your ads; paying visitors to click is also a big AdSense no-no. Each click leaves a footprint from where it originates, and your IP address is known to the search engines. Click fraud will quickly get your ads pulled and your sites banned.
3. Avoid topics and content that are prohibited by AdSense. Adult content, nudity, hateful content, racial slurs, and gambling are some examples of content that will prevent publishing of AdSense advertisements. There are many topics you should avoid if you want to publish ads for Google AdSense. It is easy to find out if a subject is on the black list; simply view the terms and policies of the program.


What Ads Will Appear When Blogging with AdSense?
While you do not have control over the ads, you can expect them to be relative to the content that appears on your blog or website. It may take a few hours after the ads are placed on your site for the search engines to determine the nature of your content so the ads are relative to it.
Blogging with AdSense can help pay for the fees incurred for internet services or hosting. It is not unusual for some people to make serious money by using AdSense.


Types of Google AdSense Ads
While you don't have control over the ads that appear, you do have some choices in the program. You can choose from text ads, image ads, or a combination of the two. You can also incorporate AdSense into your RSS feed, in mobile content, and Google searches. You can also earn income from video content with overlay and in-stream advertisements.

While Google AdSense isn't the only program out there that allows you to earn revenue hosting ads for other businesses, it is an extremely popular one and if you follow the guidelines, it is a nice and easy way to pick up some extra cash each month. Continually add quality content to your blog or website, and earn money while doing it simply by hosting ads.

Banned AdSense Account

By Richard Allen

If you are banned from the Google AdSense program then what can you do about it?
Well the first thing to do is find out what you have been banned for. If you have been clicking on your own ads or encouraging others to click on your ads, or even been so stupid as to join one of the forums promoting click fraud (Sadly they do exist), whereby you click on someone else's ads and they click on yours, then sorry but I have no sympathy and it is your own fault you got banned.

Google relies on its income from Google AdWords to make money, and this is what enables AdSense to exist, so Google is honour bound to protect its advertisers from fraud. In clicking on your own ads or getting others to do so then you are committing fraud, plain and simple, and if you were an advertiser that was being defrauded then trust me you would want Google to take action and ban the person committing this fraud, would you not?

However whilst this is the most common reason for getting a ban, it maybe that you have not been clicking on your own ads, nor encouraging others to do so, yet you still get banned. So what do you do?
Well the first thing is to write a polite letter to the AdSense team asking them for more detail as to why you have been banned. They are human and will write back to you even if it takes a while, but do be polite when you write to them even if you are angry, jumping up and down and shouting in an email will not help your cause!

If the ban is due to not meeting their website quality criteria, such as not having a privacy policy then take steps to look at your website and ensure it complies with their quality criteria, making changes such as adding a link to your privacy policy on every page as an example. Then and only then write back to them detailing the changes that you have made, and politely ask if they will consider lifting the ban.
Now you may get a response back, and in general you should expect to hear back within two weeks, but if it takes longer then do not get frustrated or angry and write a letter "Demanding" a response as this is likely to result in the ban not being lifted.

So if you are having problems with a Banned Adsense Account and want to find out how to get your account re-instated, or you just want to make sure you get your application right first time, then visit my AdSense experts site, where you can learn how to get an AdSense account easily approved the first time when Applying For Adsense in just hours if not only a few days.

Google AdSense: Strategy Classification

Google AdSense program has given an altogether new purpose to websites. Besides serving content or selling products and services, websites are now being used to generate revenue through serving Google AdSense Ads. The webmasters employ various strategies in order to extract the maximum out of Google AdSense program. There is no formal classification available for these strategies (nor can all the strategies be determined), however, the following 3 classifications are said to be more prevalent than the others:

1. Traffic Generation: Since the revenue generation from Google AdSense Ads is based on the CPC (cost-per-click) and CPM (cost per thousand impressions) basis, the more traffic your have to your website the better are your chances of getting good revenue through AdSense. Most webmasters are fully aware of this fact and employ various tricks to generate high traffic to their website. All such tricks fall under the category of ‘Traffic Generation’.

2. Converting traffic to Clicks: Clicks seem to be the best way of increasing AdSense revenue. Prompting the website visitors to click on the AdSense Ads can make a big difference in terms of the AdSense revenue that you earn. A good copy can make the website visitors more confident about your website and hence encourage them to go ahead click the AdSense Ads. Besides the website copy, the website owners apply several other means for getting more clicks. These form the ‘Converting traffic to Clicks’ category.

3. Attracting High Value AdSense Ads: Besides the traffic to your website, your AdSense revenue is also based on the value of the AdSense Ads. So, some Ads produce more revenue when they are clicked/displayed than the others. This is determined using the Adwords system. Some webmasters develop websites primarily for AdSense revenue generation. These webmasters choose the website topic and orient the content in such a way so as to attract high value AdSense Ads. These tricks form the “Attracting High Value AdSense Ads” category.

What is AdSense?

AdSense is a wonderful advertising concept that was conceived by Google some time back. Though new advertising concepts keep coming up all the time, this one is something that is altogether different.

AdSense (Google’s advertising program) presents an earning opportunity to the website owners by allowing Google to post advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are either text advertisements or image based advertisements. Of course, the website owners need to enroll to the AdSense program through Google’s website (https://www.google.com/AdSense). Google AdSense program requires you (the website owner) to include a piece of code (a programming script) on your website. You can add this piece of code anywhere in the html code of your website i.e. depending on where you want to position the advertisements (however, there are certain rules that you must follow while pasting this scripting code). This piece of code is what determines the structure of advertisements and their content (and this is what helps Google in floating the advertisements on your website). When people visit your website they are able to see these advertisements. Your earnings are based on how many Google Ads are displayed on your website and also based on how many times visitors to your website actually click on one of those Ads. The Google AdSense system calculates your revenue on per-click (CPC) and per-thousand-Ads-displayed (CPM) basis. The latter is also known as impressions.

For people who want to advertise their products and services through the Google AdSense system, it’s just a matter of signing up through Google Adwords program and letting Google know how much they want to spend towards advertising through Google AdSense. These businesses can specify the limit and Google AdSense system will accordingly serve their Ads so as to ensure that the specified limit is not crossed. Google AdSense increases the visibility of their business/ services and also increases traffic to their website; hence fulfilling their purpose of advertising.
