If you have a website or blog, then you can get started with Adsense today as it is pretty simple to implement on any site. The best situation is if you already have a site that is a good in terms of content and traffic, and adding the code and optimizing your site is the easy part. One of the main problems for people who lose their Adsense accounts is they violate one of Google's rules, or terms of service, and then that is all it takes.
What all is necessary to maintain good standing with Google? What are the chances of you slipping up and getting busted by Google?
Just in case the thought crosses your mind; you can forget about monetizing your emails somehow with Adsense. The contextual ads that are being displayed on your site from AdSense are meant for your website or your blog, and not for email. If you are just driven to use email marketing and Adsense, then the simple solution is to drive your list traffic to a website/blog with Adsense being served up. Avoid the temptation to publicly disclose certain things about your Adsense account. Why? This is mainly because you don't want them to go out of their way and try to "help" you by clicking on your ads. The simple thing about it is they can easily track high amounts of clicks from any particular geographic location. Naturally, your account will get shut down very quickly; so that is one thing you need to avoid doing.
If you are tempted to alter the code you place on your site, then you must resist doing so lest you get banned. All you can do is accept that people go to another site after they click on an Adsense ad. Your goal is to create an Adsense business, and that is why it is ill-advised to do anything like alter their little code they give you.
If you just keep to the letter of the Adsense law, then you will be fine plus it is very simple to do that. Even the smallest thing that you think may not be a problem can actually turn out to be a huge problem. Adsense was designed to be used by the masses, and that is why you know it really cannot be that hard to do.
