Step-By-Step How Anyone Can Make Money With Adsense

There are heaps of ebooks and membership sites on the online teaching you how to make money with Adsense websites. With so much information, you’ll be overloaded. Well I’ve read them, joined them and know what works and what does not. Here’s my advice.

Adsense is a Google advertising tool that is placed on your website. The ads that are shown on the website are determined by your content - the text on your website.

If you have pages and pages of articles on a certain topic, such as “Internet Marketing” then the ads shown will be all be related to that topic.

Your webpages should contain keyword related to internet marketing such as “email marketing”, “Adsense”, “ebooks”, “web traffic”, “affiliate programs” etc…

Therefore the visitor on your website will likely click on the ads since they have an interest in them. Otherwise they wouldn’t be reading your article in the first place.

So the most important thing you need for a good website that generates automatic income using Adsense is “Content”. Where do you get this content? There are three ways:

- Write the content yourself - Pay someone to write the content (about $5 per article, the cheapest rate currently) - Buy Public Label Resale (PLR) articles and alter the content

The easiest way is the last option - Buy PLR articles and change the words yourself.

With PLR articles you can do whatever you want with the article and even add your name to it so that you’re the author. There are many places on the internet where you can buy these articles. They are normally sold in a batch of 10 or more that are related to a certain topic.

You can even purchase websites with PLR articles in them and have an Adsense website online right away. Again there are many places to buy these Adsense websites on particular niches.

Now the following advice is worth gold so please read carefully.

You can’t just buy ready made websites with PLR articles and put in on the web. You’ll have so many competitors with the exact same site and the search engines will ban you for having duplicate content. You’ll have no search engine traffic and you can forget about people clicking on your website.

What you have to do is alter the PLR articles. My recommendation is to alter them by 50% to be on the safe side. I alter all my PLR articles 50% before placing them on my website. This makes them original and therefore more valuable. Search engines will index all of your pages so your website will be listed under several keywords depending on the content.

The next thing you need is a good design for your website that will contain all your own articles with other people’s articles mixed. For the website, you can either design it yourself or buy a template.

A word of warning. Make sure the design makes the Adsense ads stand out on your website and also blend in with the background. For example, make the ads borderless and the colour to be the same as your website. This way, it seems that the ads are really part of your website. People tend to dislike clicking on ads.

These are the 2 most important things for an Adsense website. However, there are other additional things you need such as:

- XML maps which Google loves to search and index - A script to rotate your articles so that it seems that your website has new content updated regularly - Link exchanges with other websites so that you get traffic from them and also get ranked higher by search engines - Search Engine Optimize your website so that it ranks high in the search engines

The final piece of the puzzle for a successful website is to drive traffic to it. You can do this also by purchasing PLR articles and modifying the words so that you can add your name to it. After that submit it to article directories and with your resource box at the bottom, people will read it and visit your website.

PLR articles are very important. You need it for the content of your website and to drive traffic to your website.

That’s all you need to create a website you can put on the internet that makes you money on auto-pilot. It will sound overwhelming for beginners but there are easier ways.

For information on recommended resources and websites on helping create Adsense sites easily, send a blank email to my autoresponder ne-art1@aweber.com

Additionally, with Adsense websites you need lots of them to make a respectable income. If you have a website making $2 a day then in a month you’ll be earning $60. However, if you have 50 websites and they are all making $2 a day, then you’ll have a monthly income of $3000. Now tell me if that’s attractive enough for you to start.

Article Marketing - Why You Should Jump on the Bandwagon Today

- by Brian McGregor

Have you noticed that writing and publishing articles has come full circle? During the nineties, many of the internet marketing experts recommended that writing articles was a good way to get traffic to your website.

It worked. And it worked well.

However, fashion changes. And, as time passed by, other marketing ideas become more trendy, like email marketing. Then affiliate marketing. Then mini-sites. Then niche marketing.

In truth, article marketing never went away. But many internet marketers forgot to use it as part of their marketing mix.

Today, article marketing is once again flavour of the month. In fact, if you care to believe the current hype, you could be excused for thinking that article marketing is like finding the end of the internet money making rainbow.

There are five solid reasons why you should use article marketing to promote your site. The great news is that these five points have been proven time after time over the years.

1. Get new, targeted traffic to visit your website as your article gets published in some of the thousands of directories, article banks and ezines. The more exposure your article receives the greater chance of readers clicking through to your website from your resource box link. Depending on your marketing objectives, this will give you the opportunity to gain more subscribers to your ezine, make more sales from your website and earn increased revenue from affiliate product sales and from ads such as Adsense.

2. Links from article directory and article bank sites with high page ranks are spidered more frequently than your site. Your link on these sites will therefore also get crawled. What this means is that an article you write can appear in the search engines within days of you submitting it to article directories and banks.

3. Improve your own website page ranking in search engines due to the increased number of link to your site from publishers of your article. Better page ranking helps to move your site further up search engine results which in turn results in more traffic to your site.

4. Build your personal credibility in your chosen market as you become recognised as an expert via your articles. More credibility increases trust, and will improve your direct sales volumes. You will also be able to offer higher valued products and you will be better placed to participate in joint ventures with fellow internet marketers.

5. Articles are a both a fast and slow burn marketing device. Fast, because immediate publication in ezines and newsletters could give you an instant traffic boost. Slow, because articles are permanent. People looking for information on search engines use keywords, and if these are relevant to your article it could be returned in searches for months and years after you wrote it.

So, you know what to do. Put 300 to 1200 words together on a topic of relevance to your website, create a cracking title, and email it to article directory and article bank sites, and to ezine editors.

You know it makes sense!

AdSense: Image No More

Putting images next to AdSense has for quite some time been among the top tips given by many AdSense gurus, it increases the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) of the AdSense units significantly.

Opinions have been varied all this while. Some will say no problem, some says no, some says it’s ok as long as there are lines dividing images from the ads.

While it might be a little too late, after many publishers banned for “generating invalid click”, Google has officially put an end to the endless debate.

The verdict: Images placed next to AdSense ads is unacceptable.

Can I place small images next to my Google ads?

We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads. If your visitors believe that the images and the ads are directly associated, or that the advertiser is offering the exact item found in the neighboring image, they may click the ad expecting to find something that isn’t actually being offered. That’s not a good experience for users or advertisers.

Publishers should also be careful to avoid similar implementations that people could find misleading। For instance, if your site contains a directory of Flash games, you should not format the ads to mimic the game descriptions.

Free Website Marketing! Try Hotlinked-Image

More often than not, a great deal of efforts is put to write articles. Doesn’t it just piss you off when you see them appear on other sites without your knowledge?

I don’t mind if they quote a portion of it, and link it back to the original article. In fact, I’ll even encourage that. Call it ethics, or manners, that’s how Internet is supposed to work.

But no. These people just copy the whole chunk outright, and don’t even bother to give a link back to your site. Some will even go as far as claiming it as their own. Worse even, Google might rank them higher for the same content, the very article they steal from you.

For the past few days I have spent some time tracking contents stolen from my site. Some sites I emailed to are very cooperative, but not all of them are.

This picture below shows post by a forum owner using content from here.

I’m still looking for some ways to solve this as quickly as possible, specially those that also hotlink directly to the images. Not only they use my contents, but also my server bandwidth. So, what should I do? For now, I only think of one thing. At least this will give me some time to cool down while looking around for solution.

I changed the file name of the pictures and change my article to link it back. Then, I created some picture promoting my website and name it according to the original filename. This way, sites that hotlink to the image will display these new pictures. And I get some free marketing.

You Will Lose A Big Portion of Your AdSense Earnings If You Don't Do This

You are working hard creating good and quality content for your Google AdSense web site. You carefully plan a good link building strategy for your Google AdSense web site. You distribute your articles through article distribution channels regularly. You submit your Google AdSense web site to web directories and you've done basic search engine optimization on all of your AdSense pages. You work extremely hard to get as much traffic as possible to your Google AdSense web site.

One day, you receive an email from a webmaster who owns a huge mailing list informing you that your site will be featured in his newsletter. You are happy that someone likes your Google AdSense web site and he will promote your web site for free. You start receiving huge amount of referral traffic from his newsletter. Instead of getting 2000 hits per day, you are getting 200,000 hits per day now. This sudden traffic surge boosts the number of clicks on your Google AdSense ads. Your Google AdSense earning is increased by a few folds.

Before you know it, you receive an email from Google saying that your account is suspended due to "invalid clicks". You didn't click on your Google AdSense ad intentionally or accidentally. Everything you did so far does not violate the Google AdSense terms and conditions. You could not figure what went wrong and why your Google AdSense account is suspended.

Sudden Jump in Google Earnings Triggers Red Flag

The sudden jump in your Google earnings has alerted the Google AdSense team and the result is the suspension of your Google AdSense account. In fact, this happened to a dozen of Internet Marketers. However they managed to get their Google AdSense account fully reinstate using the right strategy.

If your AdSense account is suspended because of the sudden jump in your Google AdSense earnings, you should stay calm and plan the right strategy before you talk to Google. You should be patient when dealing with Google. You should be polite when communicate with them and take initiative to provide them with all the documents they may need. You should not argue with them why they've suspended your account unfairly. After all, your main purpose is to get your Google AdSense Account reinstated.

Jason has written General Guideline for AdSense Reinstatement. This is a detail guideline on how to get your Google AdSense account reinstated if you have not violated Google AdSense terms and conditions. He also provides a few examples of correspondence he was using to get his account reinstated.

In conclusion, to avoid any disruption to your Google AdSense business, it may be a good idea to alert Google AdSense team about the possible surge of traffic that your Google AdSense web site may receive.

What Are The Alternatives To Google AdSense?

Google AdSense is the most widely used content-based advertising program by webmasters and web publishers to help generate extra income. Publishers register for a Google AdSense account, enable Google ads relevant to the content on their websites and make money when a visitor clicks on an ad. However, although Google AdSense is generally considered the current leader in content-based, online advertising, it’s important for web publishers to realize there are many Google AdSense alternatives, whether they are used instead of or in addition to AdSense.

Furthermore, many web publishers may find too many problems with Google AdSense. For example, they can be too picky in suddenly terminating people’s accounts. When web publishers lose their Google AdSense accounts, they need to know what Google AdSense alternatives they have. In addition, Google AdSense’s terms and conditions are such that some publishers are not even accepted into their program. Finally, some publishers find that Google AdSense does not provide a large enough selection of relevant ads that match their content. It is definitely worthwhile to consider Google AdSense alternatives.

Google AdSense Alternatives - Pay-per-click Advertising

Pay-per-click advertising besides Google AdSense is one type of alternative, including such programs as Adbrite, AllFeeds, BidVertiser, Chitika, Clicksor and Yahoo Publisher Network. Adbrite, a customizable e-commerce site, is considered “The Internet’s Ad Marketplace,” and enables the publisher to not only control their own ad rates, but also to approve or reject every ad for their website. AllFeeds features the highest and best pay-per-click listings from thousands of advertisers, multiple display formats (text links, banners, buttons, search boxes, etc.), real-time reporting, customization and even an integration with Google AdSense. BidVertiser allows the publisher to display text ads on their site with advertisers bidding against each other, and they display the highest bidders for maximum revenue-earning potential.

Chitika, an impulse product merchandising service and comparative shopping engine, features interactive eMiniMalls. Clicksor boasts higher payouts per click along with a larger range of advertisers, supporting feeds from more than one advertising provider and the chance to earn more by either displaying relevant banners or underlining a section of clickable text on their websites. Yahoo! Publisher Network is a newer model and allows the publisher to not only display relevant ads and earn from each click, but also to integrate other features and programs of Yahoo! on their site, such as Y!Q and Add to My Yahoo! (RSS). Other pay-per-click advertising alternatives to Google AdSense growing in popularity include Affiliate Sensor, BidClix, ClixGalore, Fastclick, Kanoodle, Nixxie, Revenue Pilot, Searchfeed, TargetPoint and Vibrant Media SmartAd.

Google AdSense Alternatives - Affiliate Marketing

However, pay-per-click, content-based advertising programs are not the only ways for web publishers to generate online income. Affiliate marketing works great as well, using affiliate programs such as Commission Junction, Clickbank, Amazon and Linkshare. Affiliate marketing involves an affiliate promoting the services or products of a merchant on their site and is rewarded for every visitor, registrant, subscriber or customer that comes through them on a pay-per-click, pay-per-lead or pay-per-sale basis.

Google AdSense Alternatives - Others

Other Google AdSense Alternatives include networking opportunities, merchandising, RSS advertising, donations and sponsorships.

There is a plethora of Google AdSense alternatives for publishers to choose from. A common piece of advice presented to amateur web publishers is to include more than one type of revenue-generating program on their site to unleash greater income-earning potential, for security, protection and for backup in case Google AdSense suddenly decides to close down their account.

Don't Just Depend on Google AdSense

Want to make money while directing more traffic to your website? You might consider pay per click advertising streams. They can direct Internet users who might want to pay for your information or products to your site at the same time you offer advertising space to sites your users might be interested in. Before you sign up with the first pay per click or affiliate program you see, do your homework.

Google AdSense is the most popular pay per click program out there today. It has the benefits of being in the game for a long time and offering a great deal of research and development into their keyword matching. But what if you have been removed from Google AdSense or just want to branch out and try other services as well? There are other Google AdSense alternatives out there.

Google AdSense alternatives

Yahoo! also has a pay per click program, theirs is called Yahoo! Publisher Network. It works similarly to Google’s AdSense program but has only recently come onto the scene. Users of both AdSense and Publisher Network have found that, though Google is quicker to remove an advertiser, they are still the most valuable. The Yahoo! service is likely not far behind, though.

Chitika and AdBrite are just two of the other Google AdSense alternatives (pay per click advertising stream) currently online. They offer a marketing service and affiliate program. Here’s how it works:

• You create your website to sell your goods or information
• You sign up for Chitika or AdBrite or a similar marketing program
• Other companies who sell goods or information that compliments yours also join the marketing program
• The program matches your goods/information and the complimenting companies
• You advertise their site and they advertise yours, through a variety of marketing formats that feed directly to your sites

There are four basic benefits of using a streaming advertising service:

• Intelligent, targeted recommendations bring product and information links related to your site content to the visitor
• Database that handles your ads continually “learns” which ads work best for your site and changes the ads as needed, in addition to regular ad rotation
• You get paid when your visitors click through the ads on your site
• You can usually bid on the cost of your ad appearing on other sites (at least with Google and Yahoo! programs), allowing you to easily manage your online marketing costs

Affiliate program is another Google AdSense alternative. Affiliate programs offer similar, but not the same, website advertising. There are large affiliate programs out there that only permit businesses with mid to high level traffic. There are small affiliate programs that swap a one-for-one link and let anyone take part. New businesses should look for something in the middle.

The best banner ads are those that are not rich with graphics. Textual link ads are the quickest to load so they are the most effective. The cost of affiliate programs range from tenths of pennies per click to monthly fees of $5 or more.

Regardless of the affiliate or pay per click program you use, it is good business practice to run reports frequently and change the ad streams if you aren’t making money from the ads on your site or aren’t receiving much traffic from your ads on other sites. It is also important to change the information on your site often or offer freebies to encourage visitors to return again and again.

Google AdSense Account Terminated - What Should You Do?

Once you have decided to take your marketing campaign to Google’s AdSense pay per click program, you agree to a number of rules including:

• No hidden pages. You must have a clear hierarchy and each page needs at least one link to get there.
• No broken links. If you link outside of your site, make sure you check your links often. No more than 100 links per page.
• When designing your site, create one that is helpful to a user; don’t design a page for search engines. Make sure you clearly define what your site is about.
• Your TITLE and ALT tags should be precise and descriptive.
• You need a site map to help users find what they are looking for if your menu doesn’t.
• No hidden text.
• No redirection of your site

Even if you follow all these design rules, you may still be at risk of losing your AdSense advertiser account or have temporarily been fined a penalty in the form of your ads being removed from rotation on other sites. The penalty may go away with time, but it’s best to double and triple check your site then file a re-inclusion request (instructions below.) Include in your request which changes you’ve made and that it won’t happen again.

Your competitors might have a plan that could get you banned. It’s called “click bombing” and it’s against Google’s policy.

Click bombing happens when someone, be it a competitor or not, repeatedly clicks the pay per click ad for a business in order to raise flags with Google. Google rates their ads based on relevance, so the more an ad is clicked, the more relevant it becomes, and the higher up the list it moves. This has made it very easy for business owners to move themselves up the relevance list, so Google countered this practice by red flagging any business that has a significant spike in AdSense hits. If the hits all trace back to the same IP address or addresses, the advertiser is removed for “invalid clicks”.

Finding out about this strength in Google’s search engine, sneaky competitors have started to exploit it by purposely clicking the competitions ad again and again, in order to ban the ad.

If this has happened to you, or if you’ve been banned for violation of any of the design or technological terms of your contract, you can sometimes have it overturned by contacting customer support. You can contact Google support by visiting http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py. Make sure you type “Re-inclusion Request” in the subject of the email. Keep your request simple, short and to the point. No need to threaten Google that you’ll stop advertising with them or list how long you’ve been a customer.

It is imperative, though, that you run reports frequently and store the data outside of your Google account. This will help prove to Google that a click bombing happened should you be removed. You are not guaranteed a reversal, however. In fact, most pleas to Google to have a banned account go unheard.

If you don’t get a positive response from Google, you may want to check out some of the other pay per click programs, like Yahoo! Publisher Network or the many affiliate programs online.

Dos for using the Google AdSense program

Here are a few AdSense tips that will keep your AdSense account in good standing.

AdSense Tip #1: Don’t Click On Your Own Ads
Google has made it very clear that publishers should not click on the Google AdSense Ads shown on their web site. If Google AdSense team finds out that a publisher is clicking on the AdSense ads intentionally, they will terminate the publisher’s AdSense account immediately for invalid clicks. If you ever think you could easily get away with clicking on your AdSense ads, you are wrong. Google AdSense team can spot invalid clicks because they track the origin IP address of each click.

Here is a nice trick that will protect you from clicking your ads accidentally.

AdSense Tip #2: Don’t Ask Your Friends and Family to Click On Your Ads
As mentioned before, Google tracks the origin IP address of each click, excessive clicks from one IP address will bring to their attention and soon they will find out these clicks are done intentionally. It is best for you not to tell them about your Ads at all because sometimes your friends and family may think they can help you by clicking on the AdSense ads on your site, even though you didn’t ask them to do so. They may not know they are hurting your Google AdSense business. If you would like to make extra cash, you can refer them to the Google AdSense program.

AdSense Tip #3: Don’t Use Software To Generate Invalid Clicks
Google has stated clearly in their terms of service that use of automated clicking programs or robots to generate fraud clicks are prohibited and it will result in the cancellation of your AdSense account.

AdSense Tip #4: Don’ Trick Your Visitor into Clicking Your Ads

AdSense Tip #6: Don’t Set Your AdSense Site as Your Browser Start Up Page
Google records the number of time the AdSense ad is shown on your Google AdSense site. If you set your Google AdSense site as your start up page, every time you load your browser, your AdSense ad is also loaded. Since all of these impressions come from your IP, it looks to Google that you are trying to create false impressions. Creating false impressions will also lead to the termination of your account.

AdSense Tip #7: Don’t Put Your AdSense Site in Auto Surf Program
Ever since Google AdSense released CPM (cost per thousand) Based Pricing for Google AdSense, putting your site in auto surf program is against Google AdSense's terms of service.

AdSense Tip #8: Don't Put Your AdSense Ads On Sites That Contain Prohibited Content
It is stated clearly in Google terms and conditions that putting AdSense ads on sites including adult or mature content, gambling-related content, or drug content is prohibited. You should make sure that all of your pages adhere to these policies.

AdSense Tip #9: Don't Promote Your AdSense Site in Bad Environment
You must ensure that any ad network that you are contracting with does not does not use any method (e.g. display your site in pop-ups or as a result of the actions of any software application) that may jeopardize your AdSense account. You need to be very careful when setting up ad campaigns with them.

AdSense Tip #10: Don't tamper with the AdSense code.
Once you've generated your AdSense code, you should not alter any portion of the code for any reason.

Failing to do so could only result in the termination of your Google AdSense account. Google Adsense program is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It will take time and hard work to make a profit from Google Adsense. Be patient and above all, have fun!

What Is An Invalid Click and How Will It Affect You?

More than anything, an invalid click is a big no-no and it will get your account terminated faster than anything else. Having said that, what are invalid clicks? The following scenarios generate invalid clicks.

• When publisher clicks on their own ads for any purposes, an invalid click is recorded.
• When publisher asks others to click on their ads for any purposes, an invalid click is recorded.
• When someone uses robots or automated software to generate click, an invalid clicks is recorded.
• When any deceptive practice is used to generate clicks, those generated clicks are invalid clicks.

Google AdSense has state of the art technology to monitor its AdSense program. They know whether or not a particular AdSense site is generating invalid clicks. Invalid clicks raise the advertiser’s costs and hence Google won’t tolerate this. Invalid clicks are unnecessary as there are plenty of money-making opportunities with valid clicks. With an optimized website, useful content, and attractive ads, there’s no reason for anybody to even entertain the idea of using invalid clicks.

Protect Yourself From Invalid Clicks

You are aware that clicking on your own AdSense ads will lead to the termination of your Google AdSense account. However, because you are constantly working on your AdSense web site, you fear that someday you may click on the AdSense ads accidentally. There are two simple ways that can protect you from clicking on your AdSense Ads accidentally. Please read How To Protect Yourself From Clicking Your Ads Accidentally.

You can also find a list of Don’ts for Using the Google AdSense Program that may give you some ideas on how you can protect yourself from invalid clicks.

Google AdSense Account Terminated For Invalid Clicks

There are few honest Google AdSense website owners have their AdSense accounts terminated for Invalid clicks. These honest webmasters certainly did not click on the AdSense ads themselves and they certainly did not violate any Google AdSense terms and conditions. Their accounts were terminated unfairly. They managed to get their account reinstated. If your account is terminated unfairly, you can follow this detail guideline on how to get your Google AdSense account reinstated.

What Is Google Smart Pricing?

Google Smart Pricing system is designed to help AdWords advertisers to improve their return on investment (ROI). Google smart pricing system is basically a system that will adjust contextual click costs for Adwords advertisers automatically based on a set of values. Google does not disclose much about the values it uses for its smart pricing system. The mechanism of smart pricing system remains largely undisclosed.

However, Google has revealed the factors that it uses to price an ad. These factors are as follows:

• The advertiser's bid
• The quality of the ad
• The other ads competing for the space
• The start or end of an ad campaign
• Other advertiser fluctuations

Google will also take into account the following factors when it determines the price of an ad:

• The keywords or concepts that trigger the ad
• The type of site on which the ad was served and clicked
• Conversion rate of advertiser AdWords advertising campaign

Google recognizes that clicks from its content network have different values. It constantly analyzes the origin of a click. The more relevant of the site which the ad was served and clicked to the AdSense ad, the more value it is for a click.

Google provide a tool that can track a conversion of a contextual click. Every time an AdSense ad is clicked, Google will place a conversion tracking cookie on a user's computer. The conversion tracking cookie will be stored in the user’s computer for 30 days. It is used to track a conversion for Advertisers.

Google Smart pricing system will use the information it gathers to make price adjustment for an ad. When the click generated from its contextual network is less likely to turn into business for advertisers, the smart pricing system will reduce the price advertiser pays for that click.

So How Does Google Smart Pricing Affect AdSense Publisher?

Why You Should Not Use AdSense In Your Domain Name

Google AdSense Warning Email

We received a warning email from Google AdSense team on Friday,July 14, 2006. Google AdSense team found violations of AdSense policies on our website.

The Original Warning Email From Google AdSense:

From: Google AdSense [mailto:adsense-support@google.com]
Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 9:38 AM
To: @.com
Cc: adsense-support@google.com
Subject: Google AdSense

Hello,

While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as www..com/

Publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of "Google Brand Features" on sites showing Google ads. Google Brand Features include Google logos, product screenshots, or other distinctive features Additionally, publishers may not place Google ads on sites incorporating Google trademarks in the site URL or on sites that frame Google pages, including search results pages.

As a result, we have disabled ad serving to the site.Your AdSense account remains active. However, we strongly suggest that you take the time to review our program policies (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies ) to ensure that all of your remaining pages are in compliance.

Please note that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
----------------
To help keep your account in good standing, we recommend all publishers review the policy guidelines found here: https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23921
----------------------------------------

It was not an account termination email but we were still shocked by the email. We do not want to be kicked out from the program because we put in a lot of hard work promoting our AdSense sites using the right techniques. We try our best not to violate any of the Google TOS and policy. Google AdSense team informed us that they had found violations of Google policy on one of our websites.

Problem #1:

"Publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of "Google Brand Features" on sites showing Google ads."

Google states this in the "Guidelines for Third Party Use of Google Brand Features" (http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html). Our slogan in the header diagram was "Start Google AdSense Now. Make Money With A Complete Google AdSense Guide". This is a violation of that guideline. Google requires publishers to obtain written permission if they want to use their trademarks.

Note: You can request permission to use the Google Brand Features here (http://www.google.com/permissions/request.html)

Problem #2:

"Publishers may not place Google ads on sites incorporating Google trademarks in the site URL or on sites that frame Google pages, including search results pages."

Our old domain name, startAdSenseNow.com, contains Google trademark - AdSense in it. This is the second violation mentioned in the email. In the guideline, Google states that "One of the conditions for all uses is that you can't mess around with our marks. Only we get to do that. Don’t remove, distort or alter any element of a Google Brand Feature. That includes modifying a Google trademark, for example, through hyphenation, combination or abbreviation, such as: Googliscious, Googlyoogly, GaGooglemania. Do not shorten, abbreviate, or create acronyms out of Google trademarks."

Obviously we can not use our old domain, startAdSenseNow.com, if we want to continue showing AdSense Ads. We have to move our website to another domain name.

To solve the problems, we have added the following statement in our footer:

"This site is not in anyway affiliated with Google nor does Google endorse ad.ggtang.com. AdSense, AdWords and Google are trademarks of Google, Inc."

We've also removed the Google trademarks from our slogan and we move our website to a new domain name, ad.ggtang.com. There are a lot of work and we may lost some inbound links. Well, we made a mistakes and we pay the price. Fair enough. These violations on our website have nothing to do with invalid clicks or impressions. This could be the reason why we are not banned from the program. This also shows that Google does not simply kick people out of AdSense for small mistakes.

Understanding Google Approval Process

Read This Before You Apply for A Google AdSense Account

You must get your own website or blog ready before you apply for the Google AdSense program. If you do not have a website, you can register a web hosting package and get a domain at CurrentWebHosting.com. Please click on the following link, www.currentwebhosting.com, to get your web hosting package now. Click here for more information if you would like to join the Google AdSense program using your own blog.

Once your website is ready, you can apply for a Google AdSense account. Google has never publicly published details of its approval process. Here we provide you tips that you should follow to ensure a high possibility of getting your AdSense account approved.

Tips on Getting Your AdSense Account Approved

No one knows about Google approval process. In fact, no one knows how Google decides to accept or reject a site. However, one thing for sure - the main criterion for Google approval process is always the content of the website! Many sites got rejected because they didn’t provide enough or any good content at all. Those websites that consist of links that do not offer any informational content will also be rejected.

Google approval process approves websites that have significant real content. These could be in the form of articles, analyses of various topics, reviews and much more. If your website is solely focus on selling products and services, you could include informational articles about your products or your industry. You can also include reviews of your products.

Another reason why some business websites do not qualify for the program is that these businesses are in a very narrow niche market and the only Google AdSense ads they will get are from their niche market competitors. Competitor ads would be blocked by these businesses, filtered by Google, or both. So an AdSense program that serves no ads serve no purpose.

Similarly, website that focus only on links for generating search engine traffic do not provide any content at all. These sites may rack up fairly high traffic scores and so forth, but they do not qualify for AdSense.

One of the best and simplest strategies is to include at least 30 to 40 informational articles of 400 to 450 words on you website and update them from time to time. Writing these articles yourself may be a daunting task. However, the good news is that there are considerable websites that offer articles for free, and plenty of professional writing resources who can not only write high quality material for you, but can especially optimize that material to work well with search engines and the “qualification” processes for systems like AdSense.

Note

Google updates the AdSense policies regularly and you should read them before you submit your application to ensure a high possibility of getting your AdSense account approved. You can read the Google AdSense policies here: http://www.google.com/AdSense/policies

How Does Google Smart Pricing Affect AdSense Publisher?

What is Google Smart Pricing? Google Smart pricing is designed to help advertisers to improve the effectiveness of their advertising campaign over Google content network. As a result, Google is making less money since the cost to advertisers is reduced in order to provide a strong ROI. Indirectly, smart pricing affects the earnings of AdSense publishers because they are paid lesser.

Unfortunately, smart pricing is not just affecting publisher’s earning on one AdSense site, it affects the entire AdSense account. Regardless of the high performance of other AdSense sites across the AdSense account, if one of your AdSense sites is smart priced, all of your AdSense sites will be affected.

AdSense publishers are earning less because of the low eCPM. You could find AdSense publishers revealing their eCPM in a forum when their accounts have been smart priced. They normally have low eCPM ranging from $1.50 to $5. However, low eCPM does not necessary implied that your account has been smart priced. AdSense sites in lower earning niche generally have lower CPM.

What can AdSense publishers do to avoid being smart priced? The best way to ensure your AdSense site is not affected by smart pricing is to create a good environment for advertisers and your readers. Creating compelling content for your targeted readers is as important as providing good user experience on your site. The more targeted traffic to your AdSense site, the better quality clicks for advertisers.

Some AdSense publishers maintain good quality AdSense sites as well as "less than quality" sites under a single AdSense account. They are facing higher risk of getting their AdSense account smart priced because any of the “less than quality” AdSense site does not perform well could be smart priced easily. The increase in revenue of putting these "less than quality" websites could be less than the loss of revenue due to smart pricing on the entire AdSense account.

The smart pricing system should not only be viewed as a system to protect the interests of AdWord advertisers. It is also a system that indirectly benefits quality AdSense sites in the long term. The smart pricing system could force some AdSense publishers to drop those ‘low quality’ sites. Perhaps with more quality sites, this could boost the advertisers’ confidence to advertise in Google content network. Hence, it will bring more competition for keywords. Eventually, AdSense publishers will benefit from the high paying keywords.
