One of the worst things that can
happen to an internet marketer is to receive a warning from Adsense
or even worse, have your account banned from Adsense altogether.
Many internet marketers use Adsense as their only means of web
site income, and their accounts may contain many web sites.
If your account is disabled, then none of your sites will make
money and Google is under no obligation to explain its decision
to disable an account. If your account is disabled, your web
sites will no longer earn revenue from Adsense and any existing
earnings are refunded to the advertisers. It is not as hard
as you may think to have your account with Adsense disabled.
Make certain you use only approved Adsense formats and keep
your click-through information and earnings private. Do not
display Adsense on your thank you or registration pages and
never use a competitor's advertisement and Adsense code on the
same page. If you encourage others to click on ads, you could
draw negative attention and increase your risk of having your
account disabled. The easiest way to have your account banned
is to click on your own ads. Google watches carefully for clicks
made from the same domain.
If Adsense suspects fraud, your site will be watched carefully
and banned if any duplicate clicks come to their attention.
The safest ways to protect your account are to avoid clicking
on your site's ads and refrain from any type of deceptive practice
to raise your revenue. Read the terms of service and advice
listed on the Adsense site carefully to make sure you understand
completely and avoid any risk of your account being permanently
disabled.
