Your website/blog's good quality content and design can easily pass the approval process. Phew, chew! And you thought it was a hard step. Wait a moment! Have you ever tried to violate Adsense policies or conditions?
Nailing the point-It's difficult to keep your Adsense account than to get Google's approval. In this post, I'd point out the basic errors that most web entrepreneurs/bloggers make. If you had just approved your Adsense account, I'd say "prevention is better than cure. " If your Adsense account has just been banned, you have to go through the list. There's a good chance to find out from the list below where you went wrong.
1. Clicking on the Ads on your own website
Google Adsense T&C is against invalid clicks generated by users. This just means you can't click on your own ads. If you've suspended your Adsense account because you've clicked on your own ads, it's a shame. When you signed up for Adsense, you clearly said you wouldn't click on your own ads. If you did this -the end of the debate -you'll be blamed.
But Wait! What if someone who dislikes you, like your Ex-Girlfriend, your business competitor or the kid you picked up a fight in your third grade does this? Well, According to Google, you are completely responsible for the Ad Segment you had placed on your website. So, this also counts as an invalid click. This time, without any second thought, your Adsense account would get suspended.
Update: Google's T&C changed. Since now, invalid clicks do not lead to a ban on an Adsense account, but you are temporarily prevented from displaying ads. Google's decision can be appealed by an appeal form. If you are not responsible for the invalid clicks after a successful investigation,
you get your Adsense account back.
2. Publishing ads on e-mails sent to you:
If you wish to increase your revenue by emailing the ads to your targets, you will result in an Adsense account ban. Traffic sources help google prevent mishaps from happening.
3. Generating Views to your website via bots or traffic exchanges or paid traffic:
If you try to create artificial Ad Impressions using bots or traffic exchanges, you have a very good chance of obtaining a lifetime Adsense account ban. Always remember that Google always underscores the traffic source for your website. If any malpractice is detected, such as bots or traffic exchange, it's time to forget Google Adsense. I personally saw bloggers buying traffic at Hitleap or using a traffic exchange program. Every attempt was a failure. There is no other way out than to ban an Adsense account.
4. Manipulating and Playing with the Ad Target Mechanism:
