The power of Google AdSense as a money-making tool for your website or blog cannot be denied. It can be manipulated in many different ways. Google's algorithm works in such a way that only ads that are related to your website or blog are generated and hence, increases the chances of visitors clicking on these ads and thus giving you easy income. However, to use it effectively, you will need to avoid certain things.
1. Avoid Falsifying Your Personal Information
This is a very serious offense under Google's rules. Not only will it result in the termination of your account, it will also lead to all the money you have earned being forfeited. If that isn't enough, you will also be facing serious implications from your tax authorities.
2. Avoid Displaying Ads on Specified Pages
Pages such as sign-up, confirmation page and all "thank you" pages cannot have any AdSense ads. I have never understood the reasoning behind this since they are perfect pages (to me anyway); but under Google's Term of Service, it is a violation.
3. Avoid Displaying Ads of Competitors on The Same Pages of Your AdSense ads
For this matter, it makes perfect sense. Although you are free to select the ads you wish to carry on your site or blog, you should never place them on the same pages. What this means is, you can still carry ads other than those of AdSense but only if they are on separate pages.
4. Avoid Paying For Clicks Or Provide Incentives
While it is a norm to see websites or even blogs paying one to surf or click on advertisers' ads, Google strictly prohibits this. Many do not realize this but if any of these acts and requests involve those belonging to AdSense, there would be a very high chance of getting the site or blog banned.
5. Avoid Misleading Visitors
What this means is that the text surrounding the ads should not be misleading. As a matter of fact, under the Terms of Service, the only texts allowed are those that reads either "sponsored links" or "advertisements".
6. Avoid Clicking On Your Own Ads
This makes perfect sense. Google views webmasters or bloggers acts of clicking on ads appearing on their own sites/blogs as a serious offense. Believe me, they can track it with ease and it won't be long before you receive a note informing you of that.
