Google is very serious about those that try to “game” the system and if you get on their bad list, you won’t last long! Google AdSense is trying to protect those that spend huge amounts of money in total via AdWords to market their ads on sites. When someone tries to “game” the system with dodgy ad layouts or questionable traffic, it won’t be long until you’ll be banned, forever! Always make sure you follow all program policies
Some of the simple mistakes you and AdSense publisher should avoid getting themselves banned:
1.Invalid Clicks:
This is where the maximum AdSense account gets into the danger zone. Most of publisher who starts with AdSense. they usually ask their friend to click on Ads or click on their Ads from different I.P.. If AdSense team detect such activity, they put your account in disable mode to ensure and safeguard their Advertisers.
Also, many new publishers ask their readers to click on ads, which is also discouraged by AdSense as stated in their program policies.
2.Using AdSense on unsupported language blog:
At the time of writing, Google doesn’t support all the languages to qualify for AdSense program. If you have approved this account, and you are using it to show it on the blog whose language don’t qualify AdSense times of service, then make changes as soon as possible. Especially, if you are using any method to make your blog multi-lingual and serving Ads on it, this will be considered as a violation.
3.Sending ads on Email:
Many publishers started the trend of sending AdSense adverts within the email, and sometimes it goes viral. Google find it against the program policies.
4.Content that won’t make Google AdSense happy:
What you post matters. If you post questionable content on your blog, don’t use AdSense. Examples of this content can be seen below:
- Porn, Adult material
- Violent content
- Racial content
- Hacking/Cracking
- Gambling/Casino
- Pages selling Drugs, Alcohol (Beer or hard alcohol)
- Pages selling Weapons and ammunition
- Distribution of course work. Eg: Student Essays
- Pages that host any hacked content or stolen content
5.Copied textual content:
Some sites copy complete articles, word-for-word. This is against AdSense and can also get you banned. Google AdSense only wants their ads showing on quality sites with original textual content. If your content is original, don’t put AdSense on it. Additionally if your site has other links which copy other people indexed in Google, you can also get banned. The Google spiders are good at detecting when someone copies content which has been previously published. It’s not worth the risk, be original. 100% original.
6.Hosting Copyright content:
If you are running AdSense on a site that distribute copyright content like Movies, songs or any other files, you are most likely to get an instant ban. it doesn’t allow putting AdSense on the site that distribute copyright stuff.
7.Invalid ad locations:
AdSense has several ads which are approved to be sticky on mobile, but in general, you should never modify code from AdSense and never place it in a sticky box on desktop. Some people think they can get away with this, but it’s not a good idea! It should be obvious, but also keep in mind that placing ads on a 404 page, exit pages, login pages, or empty pages with no content is prohibited by AdSense.
8. Don’t exceed maximum ads on one page:
