AdSense Publishers

[StarBuG]

Key to success of a advertising site is traffic. Focus on contents and promotion of your site. Adsense is also not a good adv. partner. It can ban you a forfeit your income without reason.

To say that AdSense is a bad Advertising Solution just because of the possibility to get banned is simply not correct.
It is one of the most high paying if not THE most high paying PPC program that currently exists.

If you don't sell your inventory directly and have a very high percentage of sold inventory then AdSense is the best solution.
Also as fallback option it is great. Depending on your niche of course.

AdSense is protecting its advertisers, publishers are of lower interest to them.
But that, as hard as it sounds, is the best possible way even for us publishers,
because it ensure a continuously growing stream of Advertisers spending more and more money on AdSense.

And 95% of all publishers earn a lot of money with AdSense and never get banned.

I dont like the whole "Banned for Life" thing adsense does. They banned me a couple years ago for "invalid clicks" which was untrue. I never clicked my own ads. I tried to plead my case, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal.. But they wont reinstate my account.

Even if you clicked once, and it was an accident, Google should surely know.

If google keeps this pace up in banning everyone, they will fall from grace.

I was banned on the first month my account passed the minimum payment of $100 under false pretences of invalid clicks.

Good riddance I say

What was the issue? How can they prove "invalid" clicks?

If you rely on adv. income, never use adsense. Though SatrBug stated that 95% not banned. You still have 5% chance banned and all income forfeited. Use other adv. solution, may be pay per click lower, income lower, but your income is guaranteed.

I also think the adsense experts exgerated the adsense optimizaton. Webmaster should pay attention to user satisfaction. Content, content and content is the key factor to higher traffic and higher income.

This is what the scenario of vb. Jefsoft Ent. is protecting its income, webmasters are of lower interest to him.

I can't stand AdSense... it never works for me...

When it did work, I would make an AdSense property, and then Google would delete it after a week without any notice. I don't know why they would delete my ad, but they would do it, and not pay out anything I've earned for the entire week. I wasn't doing anything wrong.

Now it doesn't work at all. When I try to log into my AdSense account it says something along the lines of: "an account doesn't exist on this login, click here to create one". So I do all that, fill out all the information and then when I click submit to create the account it says something along the lines of: "this account can not be created because an adsense account already exists on this login".

So yeah... I can't login because my account doesn't exist. I can't create an account because my account already exists. Of course since Google doesn't have any sort of customer service, there is nothing I can do about this. On the help forums, people say to make a new account on a new email address... I do that, and then Google disapproves my account because my website has another account already linking to it...

**** ADSENSE.

This is one reason that I fear using Google AdSense. I've been banned by them multiple times in the past, and always have the fear that it may happen again without notice, and I will lose all of my current income. But when you get that check it is pretty satisfying.

They do not need to prove anything they are god

LOL, ever heard of IP logging and automated click scripts ??

If someone clicks on the same ad zone or website 1,000 times from the same IP would you think those were "invalid clicks" ?

If using script or manually click a on ther same ad zone form same IP, it must be invalid. For these guy knows what he had done and he will not complaint.

I had an account for five years. Accumulated to $40, I stop develop and didn't confirm the a/c. Half year before I redevelop web sites. Request confirmation. I put the ads in a new blogger. When the traffic increase, the ads. stop. My a/c disabled. I appeall, google ask me to shows advidence. I can't access my adsense a/c so no way to collect information.

For click buy myself, I say I had. Some ads. shows in admin cp, I think it is legal to click. In the front end, some web service ads shows, even not related to my content. I click it, since I want the service. Even I had may purchase from the web. I am writing religion contents, relevent shows up, I click and read it and get some idea. A porn site ads. shows in my blog, christianity, chinese moral and philo. I can't resist the temptation and click it and followed it.

Do I make profit from click the ads. by self? Never, for ads shown up not so promptly. Part job McDonald has better income than clicking the ads.

When I develop the site, I click the ads. for testing is normal.

As rules and regulations of adsense, community chatting site is not valid content. If you running a forum, google has strong reason to ban your adsense a/c.

 

[AnthonyCea]

You should never click on your own ads EVER !!!!

 

[Weiyan]

What are some other adv. solutions you recommend?

If you stick to ppc or use ppc as part of your income model, there are lots alternative.
Adbrite, Chitika, Clicksor etc. Try google "adsense alternative", you can find more.

Amazon also has affiliation program.

Adsense is good for low traffic sites, say, has only some tens visit per day, adsense may be best. If your traffic is high, other adv. partner mya have higher ppc. You can direct deal with advertiser too.

Don't just stick to ppc. Re-thinnk your income model.

Didn't adsense come out with a new beta version? I thought someone posted a new adsense system? Where they can detect these problems and fix them, so the account creator doesn't get banned? That is for things such as duplicate clicks or what not.

There are tons of method to prevent the author click the ads. For example, set a maximum valid clicks per 24 hour per ip. Google never consider publishers interests. At the end of last year, yahoo's competing service stopped. Google even not accept application for low traffic sites. Google reject application with reason "not right content", although the content is about classic literature.

 

[FreshFroot]

hmm.. I guess Google doesn't want to waste time with new sites?

I agree with the validation of clicks per 24hr with IP restriction. You would think someone like google would have thought and implemented this already?

 

[Weiyan]

Google never implement any preventive measure. Google just ban you if the google machine think you are treating.
I guess you have not experience of web adv. Install a blog on your site and apply for a adsense a/c to try out it. For low traffic site, adsense is best solution. For my site with Chinese content, google may be the only one solution. For high traffic site in Hong Kong never use adsense. They direct deal with advertiser.
