If you've been Internet marketing for any length of time, you should know how important it is to monetize your website. While there are plenty of ways that you can go about doing this, Google AdSense has become one of the most popular methods for making money with blogs or websites. The main reason so many people choose to use Google Adsense is it is very easy to put onto a website and you can start earning right away. However, in order to really reach your potential using the AdSense program you need to understand that the program has strict rules and you are required to follow them. When you fail to do so, Google may simply shut down your account. In this article we will discuss the three most common mistakes knowingly made by AdSense publishers.
One thing is about privacy, and that is something you'll always have to consider when you're doing business with Google. Google does not want you disclosing anything about your Google Adsense account. You are not allowed to talk about your account's information such as the CTR, CPM or the income that you earned from individual ad units. This is something that isn't allowed as per the Google terms of service. As far as the gross earnings from Adsense, sure you can discuss that but not broken down in any way. The only people who tend to do that are IM marketers who are promoting a product related to making money with Adsense.
Be careful about how you treat your ads because it's prohibited to call special attention to your ads other than what Google provides for text. This is because other types of labels aren't allowed. You'll see marketes skirt the fine line between compliant and non-compliant. The closer you get to the gray area, then more likely it will be that Google will give you special attention which is pretty much undesirable.
Make sure that you avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing. Yes the definition of excessive depends upon a number of factors but it is still quite possible to make good money from AdSense if you have targeted content, good keywords and proper ad placement. You don't need excessive advertising. Same goes with the keyword stuffing where you don't have to do it because it won't serve any real purpose.
Success with Google Adsense really is not hard to do, and you'll be able to enjoy for years to come if you follow their policies and TOS. Once you get used to it, there is absolutely no looking back.
