6. Label headings as “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only.
Other labels are not allowed. I have seen many sites label ads with other
titles. Don't make your site a target in a few seconds gaze.
7. Never launch a New Page for clicked ads by default. Adsense ads
should open on the same page. You may be using a base target tag to open all
links in a new window or frame by default. Correct it now as they do not
want new pages opening from clicked ads.
8. One Account suffices for Multiple websites. You do not need to
create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do. If you live
in the fear that if one account is closed down for violation of TOS, believe
me they will close all accounts when they find out. You can keep track of
clicks by using channels with real time statistics. They will automatically
detect the new site and display relevant ads.
9. Place ads only on Content Pages. Advertisers pay only for
content based ads. Content drives relevant ads. Although you might manage
some clicks from error, login, registration," thank you” or welcome pages,
parking pages or pop ups, it will get you out of the program.
10. Do not mask ad elements. Alteration of colours and border is a
facility to blend or contrast ads as per your site requirements. I have seen
many sites where the url part is of the same colour as the background. While
blending the ad with your site is a good idea, hiding relevant components of
the ads is not allowed. Also do not block the visibility of ads by
overlapping images, pop ups, tables etc.
11. Do not send your ads by email. Html formatted emails look good
and allow placement of these JavaScript ads. But it is not allowed as per
TOS. You do not want impressions registering on their logs from any email
even once. They are watching !
12. Keep track of your content. So Adsense is not allowed on
several non content pages. But it is also not allowed on several content
pages too. Do not add it on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and
Image Results. Also exclude any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or
illegal content.
13. Do not alter the results after ad clicks or searches - Ensure
you are not in any way altering the site which the user reaches to after
clicking the ads. Do not frame, minimize, remove, redirect or otherwise
inhibit the full and complete display of any Advertiser Page or Search
Results Page after the user clicks on any Ad or Search results.
14. Avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing - Although
the definition of ‘excessive’ is a gray area and is subject to discretion,
yet Google Adsense with correct placement, focused content and high traffic
will get you much more income than other programs, so excessive advertising
is not required. Keyword stuffing does target better focused ads, but
overdoing it is not required.
15. Ensure you Language is Supported - Adsense supports “Chinese
(simplified), Japanese, Danish, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, English, Polish,
Finnish, Portuguese, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Swedish,
Italian and Turkish”. In addition, AdSense for search is available in Czech,
Slovak, and Traditional Chinese. If your web pages language is not
supported, do not use the code on such pages.
Never Violate Google
Adsense Terms Of Service, once your account is banned, it is gone forever
and your all repeated requests will fall into deaf ears. If you
have any doubt in your mind write to Google Adsense Support, they are very
supportive and responsive.
