How To Avoid Getting Your Adsense Account Terminated

Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.

Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.

Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination. Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.

Page rank for sale. If you have been online for quite some time, you will notice that there are some sites selling their PR links or trading them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.

Doorways. This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page is a big issue among search engines. There are many seo firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.

Multiple domains having the same content. In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.

Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a mind set that you are building your Adsense together with your pages for the human users and not for bots, you can be assured of the great things for your ads and sites.

Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.


Stupid question, but its very simple, go and click on your own ads. Yes your account will be terminated and you will lose all your earnings in a day if you are near your minimum payout. You will receive an email from adsense, asking for explanation. You can give some lame excuse or try to send your server logs, may be you will be blessed with another chance.

I have my experience of my adsense account being canceled due to click fraud, but believe me, I never clicked on my ads.

The first warning I received was regarding the domains I used for my adsense accounts. I was using on this domain, googling.in, which they objected as this domain name may mislead others that this has some relation with google. In fact we should read all the pages of google adsense terms and conditions or any program we participate. It was very clearly mentioned in the terms and condition that the domains having resemblance to google cannot participate in the adsense program. I did not read that but luckily I just received a warning. I got my account canceled when my account balance was about US$90.00, thats what really upset me.

Anyway it was not big earning, because it was about 4 months. Looking into the band-width and space its not much for me. But I see many people saying they earn more than US$ 2000 per month, thats worth. But for new websites, its very difficult to earn in 100’s and 1000’s of $$.

There are many people who succeed in fooling and get away with artificial clicks, but beware, you will be cought very soon if you continue with this. Google claims that they want to protect the interest of their advertisers and I am also one of the advertisers. Its very easy to build traffic to your sites with google adwords, and I have experienced it. You can get clicks from US$ 0.05 to your wish.

Other than text ads, you can put other image ads, or video ads. You can use the search also to earn. Anyway, be sure that you use adsense in a very careful way and never ever try to be smarter than google team. Its not because I lost my adsense account, i have read many posts done by angry google adsense account losers. Many might even have to close there websites as they totally depended on this ads.

Do you know any substitute for Google adsense?

Yes there are many, like Yahoo publishers, bidvertisers, clicksor and many, but believe me I have tried almost all except YP, it can never come near Google Adsense. I am waiting for YP to be International, as right now they are only offering it in the United States.

Recently I contacted Google Adsense to reconsider my account cancellation, but hard luck did not get an auto-response also from them.

I am not much worried and not much interested also, because even If i get my account activated, I need be always expecting an account cancellation and I am sure that will be when my balance reaches the next US$100.

Some Google Adsense Substitutes, that you can try

* Bidvertiser
* AdsFor Indians
* Yahoo Publishers
* Clickbooth
* Adbrite
* Clicksor
* Azoogle ads
