Save Your Google Adsense Account from Getting Banned

November 7, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, Google Adsense, Internet Marketing · 10 Comments 

When I surf through various webmaster’s forums, every day I found users who are in tension and frustrated saying “Google has banned my Adsense account”. I know most of these guys claim that they are innocent and they have never clicked on their own ads. They have no idea how the click fraud happened to their Adsense accounts. The reality is click fraud can happen in many ways and it is not necessary that it is always caused by the publisher.
 
So here I would like to share some tips to save your google adsense account from getting banned by google.
 

 

  • Never join the networks which are calling themselves “Adsense exchange networks”. Believe me here members are only join to click on each other’s adsense ads. I am sure this is the easiest way to get banned by google.
  • Try to avoid using auto surf programs to promote your website that contains google adsense. They will surely increase the traffic on your site and that way your site earnings will be increased but it will be considered as “no real” traffic so it is against Adsense TOS.
  • Also try to get rid of being part of traffic exchange networks who are also sharing the revenue of their network. This means the user of this kind of network may involved in clicking each others adsense ads which is also against Adsense TOS.
  • Read my tips how google is keeping eye on each and every click done on the adsense ads.
  • Always stick to TOS of the Google Adsense Program and check frequently whether by mistake you are not violating any of them.

I think we must keep these things in mind as google is being strict day by day.

Understanding the adsense related terms

October 27, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, Google Adsense, Traffic Generation · 10 Comments 
As I was suffering some years back some of the new users and some of my readers are suffering for the same thing. What is that?
 
What is the meaning of the terms like CPM, CPC, CPA, eCPM, eCPC, eCPA and CTR?
 
So today I have decided to explain you main terms so that you get better idea for google adsense.
 
Following are the terms which are most used in the online advertising networks.
 
What is CPM? 
 
CPM – Cost Per Thousand (Here “M” is the roman numeral for thousand)
 
This is the thing where advertiser wish to pay for per thousand impression of his ads. Let say advertiser wants to pay $100 for 1 CPM for an ad, this means that he will pay $0.10 for each time his ad is shown on any publisher. When the ad is shown thousand times, advertiser pays $100 to the ad agency.
 
What is eCPM?
 
eCPM – Effective Cost Per Thousand
 
This means what will be the publisher’s payout if the entire inventory it has is CPM. They use the eCPM value for inventory’s effectiveness.
 
 
What is CPC?
 
CPC – Cost Per Click
 
There are some advertisers who prefer to pay only when their ad is clicked by some reader on the publisher’s site. Usually they pay in the range of $0.40 to $5.00 for one click.
 
What is eCPC?
 
eCPC – Effective Cost Per Click
 
Same as the eCPM, This means what will be the publisher’s payout if the entire inventory it has is CPC.
 
What is CTR?
 
CTR – Click Through Rate
 
This value will show that what is the actual click through rate for an ad after each 100 impressions.
 
Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. Also share with me this kind of terms as this is really helpful to my readers.

Best time to put google adsense on your blog

As I have described some basic blogging tips here and tips to do link building for blogs here, now I would like to discuss one important question for which most of the bloggers seek answer. The question is what is the best time to put Google Adsense on my blog?

Somebody will say that there is no need to check what is the best time, just put it from the first day and start earning. Other will say after one month from the day when you start your blog you should put adsense on your blog. But I would say without traffic there is no point in putting ads on your blog. Let say if your blog is 1 or 2 years old but it has only 2 or 3 unique visitors a day then there will be no income from adsense right?

So I have concluded some points depending on my experience and listed them here.

·         I will say keep your blog clean and easy to read. Don’t make the blog “Ads blog”.

·         Try to create good readership and generate more traffic.

·         As per my suggestion once you start getting around 50 unique visitors per day put first ad block to your blog.

·         Now stop and see the performance of that block. Also don’t forget to add good content and create new readers every day.

·         Now when your unique visitor count reaches in the band of 100 to 200 you can move forward and put second ad block.

·         And when you get continuously 200+ visitors every day put all the possible ad blocks you can.

·         You will need more unique visitors depending on the niche of your blog. I have just listed the basics.

 

These are my suggestions but you can apply your brain according to your needs. I would also suggest use one text link advertising network with adsense to get more profit. But the key point is to keep your blog updated and try to get more and more quality readers.

Beware : Google Adsense keeping eye on you

How Google Adsense knows that you are clicking your own ads?
This question is asked so many times by new users. Even I received one comment on one of my previous posts where user asked me whether I have clicked on my own ads. So let me tell you one thing very clearly, don’t ever try to click on your own ads and never try to fool yourself. Google will surely catch you and soon it will send you the mail saying “Bye Bye!”. Here I have analyzed and make a list of some points describing how Google can know that you are clicking on your own ads.
 
  • Google search: Google keeps track of each and every search made from your PC and your IP.
  • Your IP: Google knows what your IP is. Let say you have dynamic IP and it is changing every time, no problem, remember Google is showing all the information regarding your PC in analytics. So they have all the information about your IP.
  • Group of IPs: If you try to make group of friends from different parts of the world, then also Google can track everybody and block all the IPs.
  • Your PC: Google knows the basic configuration of your PC. (RAM, CPU, BROWSER, etc…)
  • Gmail: When you create an account with Google, Google can easily track you whenever you use that account.
  • Google Tools: When you registered with any Google API or Tool, you are under the radar of Google. For Example, if you are using the webmaster tool or analytics tool, Google will have all the information regarding your sites and site statistics. ;)

 

So what I believe Google has more powerful investigating system then Scotland Yard, CIA or FBI. :D
 
I suggest instead of getting into this kind of stuff we should do proper link building and SEO for our blog and keep updating unique content frequently.
