GOOGLE ADSENSE - REASONS FOR GETTING BANNED

Getting an Google Adsense approval is hard, but getting banned by Adsense is also very Easy Folks. Adsense never bans any of its publishers for no reason, its all our mistake. Thus a clear understanding of their TOC (Terms & Conditions ) is very important before you apply to them or after you get approved by them and have started displaying their ads. But I guess, hardly not even 30% of the publishers read the TOC. This small blunder can play spoilsport to all your dreams about making a five figure income using Adsense. So First Read the TOC Folks.


Read Google Adsense TOC here.



The following are the reasons for getting banned by Google Adsense :

1.When the Clicker's IP address and your IP address are the same. So don't even by mistake click on your ads.

2. When your CTR is suspiciously higher. According to reports anything above 9% is risky and you have quite a lot of chance to get banned.The Safe Limit is less than 7%.

3. CopyRight Issue. Never ever copy contents from others websites or blogs or forums. Google is too good in finding out the duplicate contents, they are so sensitive that even a few lines of copied contents is a red alert beep in their system. So the Golden Rule " DON'T BE A COPY CAT ".

4. When the Clickers to your website are from the same Geographical Area. Remember, They have Google Maps to track things very easily !

5. Begging or Requesting the Visitors to your Blog to Click on your ads, that's silly as well as a dangerous mad idea. So never do that.

6. You are gonna banned when you are asking your friends and neighbors to click on your ads because when somebody overclicks your ads, then you are finished and be very courteously rewarded with a ban by the Big G.

7. They track each and every move of their Publisher with Cookies, Remember, majority of web content today has something to do with google. So, don't think of going to a cafe or using a Mobile Phone etc to give a few clicks on your ads, its dead risky !!

8. Don't think that you can click from a dymanic IP address devices like dial up via PC or mobile phones, they can easily catch your fraudulence activity using so many available techniques, one of which is by using cookies. They track down all the stats of your activity, like how long the visitors have been active on your websites. Usually any visitor to your website will have a look at the contents of your site first before clicking on any of the ads They will not click on the ads first before even started reading any of your contents.

9. Don't try to use any of the Proxy Clicker Bots or any form of softwares or crawlers that claim to increase your traffic by falsely increasing your impressions, its like committing a suicide. So just ignore them.

10. Don't place more than three ad units on a page of your website. Although many are seen placing more ad units, placing three adunits on a page is safer and sufficient enough for a decent earning.

11.Try to avoid using free templates that are available on the net for your designing your website or blog because more than 40% of these templates steal away your adsense code to be used for them. You gonna get hacked and ultimately banned. Use default template that's a lot safer & simpler !

12. Follow the TOS and adsense updates regularly.

Last but not the Least, Be Honest, You can Cheat and win but cannot survive like that for ever.

REMEMBER " HONESTY IS THE SECRET OF ADSENSE "

What is SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) ?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can be defined as the process of enhancing or increasing your website's or blog's ranking folks !.

Okay, If you want to know what's the rank of your blog, then go to www.alexa.com and insert a widget into your blog.

SEO is a simple strategy, the higher your website ranks when a surfer searches for a certain keyword, the more traffic you are going to recieve. Thus the keywords in your websites always matters a lot. So you need to choose targeted keywords or phrases to form the contents to your site ensuring that these words will match with the search keywords that the surfer enters. Its all like matching game, to make it simple I am giving an example, Suppose a surfer searches for the term " Blogging " in Google search, these are the websites which google gives after searching the internet in rankwise

1. wikipedia
2. blogger.com
3. problogger.com
4. codex.wordpress.org
5. clubblogger.com

And here is the secret, your blog or website may be all about blogging or anything related to it. But unless and otherwise your blog's SEO process is good such that it ranks in top 5 or top 10 of the search results of any search engines like Google,Yahoo, Live search or Ask for a particular keyword or phrase, You may not recieve heavy traffic. Thus the secret to heavy traffic is always SEO.

Adbrite - "The Internet's Ad Market Place"

Adbrite is a California based automated Online Advertising Network featuring ads, both for Publisher & Advertisers. Adbrite was founded by Philip kaplan. His initial Company beind " F**ked Up.com ". Adbrite is one of the best alternative to people who have been disapproved by adsense. Although adbrite ads cannot match the standards of adsense in design & quality, yet they are easily customizable and highly alterable. Signing with Adbrite is very easy,painless all you need is to enter your basic information.Any body can get approved into their program, I guess. It does'nt matter, if you own a blog with 100 high quality posts or a single scrap post, you are in.They accept porn sites also, I guess.So no need actually to worry about the number of posts or the traffic to your website before applying to them. So just apply to them.you will be accepted.

The Pros

1.Instant Approval, No Criteria for the approval process and they don't hardly reject any.

2.The most attractive feature of adbrite is their full page ads,I think adbrite are the pioneers in introducing the fullpage ads. By increasing the frequency of times that a fullpage ad should show up to the visitors of our blog and after how many page views it should pop up, you can actually increase your earning to some extent.

3. The Inline ads are good but not the best.

4.Highly customizable and ads come in different types just like adsense, but the looks are little basic, not glossy like adsense.

5.Their PPC is high, sometimes higher than adsense (not always).

6.The ads can be easily monitored and altered accordingly and are very easy to embed into our blog. Just choose Insert Html/Script in blogger and add the codes.

The Cons

1.Their Site-Targeting is really poor, the ads are totally irrelevant and are not consistent. They may die out or may not show up at sometimes of the day.

2. Adult ads are shown, although they ask you to choose an option between showing or not showing the adult ads before setting up the ads, adult ads are frequently proping that too adult banners.

3.The stats are real time but sometimes, are not really correct, it looks they don't track certain clicks, but we have no problem with the impression counts,their monitor process is okay.

4. Ads are a bit slow in loading and the lower version of internet browsers don't really support them well.

5.The CTR is really bad, the reason being non-targeted ads that are totally irrelevant and sometimes idiotic.

6. Too many options to fill up and choose before setting up an adzone.

Face Book - Money Making Strategies

facebook is already becoming a leader in social networking, with around 150,000 new users signing up everyday, its soon gonna overtake myspace or any of its rival. If facebook can divert a lot of traffic to your blog, Is there any other mean of making money from facebook alone ? Yes you can do so and it's very much possible, with the recent release of its new platform

A few ways in which you can earn revenue are listed below :

1. Create and sell out facebook applications

To create an application, all you need is some basic programming knowledge and application level experience, never mind if you can't do it alone, form a team and complete the task. These applications can then be sold to third parties like AppMrkt, Appbid, Sitepoint even ebay will do justice. You may earn around $1 to even upto $15 for every sign up, which does'nt mean you can design anything that's just an application.Your application needs to be more attractive and addictive, yes you need to put in a lot of efforts
eg: textme, lexulous, Scrabulous, Flixser, Vampies etc

Things you must remember in designing a facebook application

• Never think the application on a selling perspective.
• Make it attractive, and fully working and optimised, nowdays many apps are been declared spammy.
• Easy interface and easy to use (user friendly).
• It should'nt be boring and should have some fun essence.

Seek the help of smaller firms to publicize and market your application, you have a lot of firms doing the job for you and it's an easy way to accelerate your app sales. Eg. RockYou , Slide

2. Develop a cool popular facebook page

To develop a popular page that should have the potential to attract advertisers, you need to be versatile, think a little harder and different because advertisers look for pages of their own interest and match, thus before you ought to start up the designing process, be little innovative and look forward in focusing more on the advertiser's target areas.

3.Creating a space for advertising on your facebook Pages

4. Find an advertiser to advertise on your facebook page

4. List your facebook Page on facebooking 101 facebook page publisher forum

Note : Google Adsense cannot be used with facebook

6. Sell your unwanted items and even affiliates on facebook marketplace. facebook market place is very much similar to craiglists where items are listed and categorised locally.

Make Money From Your Social Networking Sites

Social Networking Sites like facebook, orkut, sqidoo & hi5 are always a massive hit among the people and these social networking sites can be very effectively & smartly used to bring a whole lot of traffic or even regular visitors to your blogs or sites.

What are these Social Networking Sites actually ?

Social networking sites provide a kind of online platform in which a group or circle of people usually friends share their interests, thoughts and friendship with each other. For this they are fully optimised with various options like Instant Messaging, Online Chat, e-mails, scraps, bookmarking & a lot more. Further more, people can also form communities ,fan clubs like (Jolie fans, Beckham fans, I love Black Nail polish etc) on their interests, likings, dislikings or views to comment on these various aspects.

Let me first start with facebook. facebook is massive, because it's a site which almost recieves around 10% of the everyday internet traffic into it. We all know that a crowd of people is always gonna be a good advertising medium. Thus we must learn to promote our blog or website via one such social network.

Guruji.com is an Indian Search Engine based company.They have launched their new ad program for both publishers & advertisers.Their ad program for publishers is called Adguru and the one for advertisers is called AdYantra.

Guruji ads are brand new, launched in march 2008, and are similar to google in appearance.They are especially madefor and targeted towards Indian websites and blogs, and I foreseek that, in future a majority of their customers are gonna be Indians.

The Sign up Process is pretty fast, and they approve almost instantly.The ads start showing up almost instantly and you dont have to wait for 24 hours or days to get approved. I practically feel that they are accepting any website who apply to them right now.Since it is an Indian based company, the Payment is in both Rupees and Dollars for Non-Indians.

Steps to follow after signing up with Blogger

1. Once you have just finished the sign up process, then its all about creating posts, for this you need to read a lot about any subject, gather good interesting facts and data, don't ever dare to copy any one's blog or contents from other websites, because google's system are the smartest in the world & finds out even a single paragraph that's been copied othet websites or blogs. Also don't be oversmart in trying to copy the contents from an ebook, you will be dumped for that too.So let everything be typed by you & you alone.

2. Make sure you choose a nice, good name for your blog that is not complicated and doesn't involve too much of symbols (at the most a single hyphen ) or hard spelling. Also make sure that it is not too lengthy.

eg : www.funkydollars.blogspot.com, www.arunenigma.blogspot.com are good
www.freedownloads-arunenigma.blogspot.com is acceptable while addresses like www.road-to-your-destiny.blogspot.com are annoying and not good towards adsense point of view.

3. The number of posts matters always.Try to post atleast 25 posts before you apply to Adsense. As per statistics anything between 20 and 30 posts are good.Further these posts must be related and aimed towards a single topic or theme.

4.Don't include too many links in your posts.

5.Choosing your blogger template is very vital, the adsense team alwaysexcepts your blog to be professional and standard hence try choose a theme that is not too fancy or colorful, try some professional templates. You can always use their default Themes as I am using. Choose a lot more default themes from the pick new theme section under your Blogger Layout section.

6.Traffic is not a very big issue, but it is always safer to bring in a few visitors,try to bring up the visitor count to three figures before you apply to adsense
