Rules of AdSense

When you sign up for Google’s AdSense, you will be asked to agree to
their “Terms of Service” agreement. This is one agreement which you
should read and make sure you fully understand everything on it.


Google has very specific rules as to what you can and cannot do with
their AdSense ads. And Google is very serious about their rules. For
instance you are prohibited from asking your readers to click on the
AdSense links. You are totally prohibited from clicking on the links on
your own sites. You are also prohibited from putting Google AdSense
links in pop-ups, pop-unders, or websites with any type of
pornographic material. You are only permitted three AdSense boxes
per website page. By understanding the terms of the AdSense
agreement it will go a long way towards helping you to stay both
ethical and profitable with their program. Ignoring their terms of
service will only cause you problems and likely get you kicked off of
the program forever.


Google tracks websites which are created with a bunch of junk content
specifically to get AdSense clicks. Google does not like splogs and
goes after them with a vengeance even encouraging other bloggers to
report them when they find them online. These sites generally copy
content from other websites or free content sites, and then post it on
their site solely for AdSense revenue. This is against Google’s policy
and they will pull their ads from these sites when they find them. As
an ethical blogger this is actually a good thing for you and your
success because it can keep the splogs from getting higher search
rankings than your real and valid blog which you put your time into
creating and keeping up to date.
