It's been sometime since I got an email from Google stating that I was putting 2 adsense's on the same page and this was agains their TOS.

When I saw this message I didn't miss a second and fixed my mistake. Google reviewed my website again just to find that I had an adsense on a registration page, again against their TOS. Almost had a heart attack when I got the second warning.

Since then I always been wondering if my payment % was affected.

I been working really hard writing content and adding new webistes thus increasing my adsense impresions and clicks. Stil my earnings from adsense are not really increasing. Should I write them an email and ask them If I'm being penalized? If I'm being penalized will it over sometime?

If you're still making some money from adsense I don't think you're penalized or affected in any way. Just check to see if its showing PSA's on your pages..

Linux Guy..

Google gives lot of help in solving your problems but they are little bit strict in implementing their TOS.

YOU NEED NOT TAKE MORE THEN 20 MINUITES TO ADD SOME CONTENT IN THE REGISTRATION PAGE AND MAKE IT AS A CONTEND SITE. ( Or get affiliateship from matrimonial sites and put their banner. Google crawlers take the words from banners too and make it a content page ).

Google Adsense people won't play with you in your earning.

: For Increasing your earning you can tell your friends to click the google banners in each and every day. It is little bit not ethical. But since you are telling your friends to visit the advertisers sites they may purchase some thing and give back money too google. Some 18 clicks gives you 1$. It is you who can increase google income and not google adsense people :

That is one of the most unethical things that I have ever heard. Are you kidding? Did you really post that?

My personal oppinion which means zip:

I would never ask people/ friends to click on my ads... not to mention each and everyday. Many people have (to my knowledge and based on their honesty) had their accounts cancelled for false clicks, and they've stated they never clicked on their ads. 1 click every day for 30 days from possibly the same IP address, times maybe 5-10 friends.... looks extremely fraudulent, especially if your site has low clicks anyway. I wasn't sure if you were recommending this in your statement. If your looking for a way to be penalized this is probably the best reason I've heard to date..

No, it is not little bit or marginally unethical -doing so is outright fraud.

My apologies if this comes across as harsh, but there is no milder way to state this...

IMHO, building valuable content, and working on increasing genuine/targetted traffic is the way to go.

I see you just joined. Welcome!

There are definate ways that we can all increase our Adsense income here are some legitimate ways:

1. Build quality content
2. Test differnet ad sizes and color schemes to see which ones work best with your visitors
3. Try moving the ad, try to keep it above the fold.

This is just a few things that can be done to increase your revenues. I'm sure there are loads of ways that other members have posted throughout Webmaster World

I will never ask my friends to click the ads. As my web page is very very big and croses 30,000 page views per day per site ( I am owning 6 sites ) certainly 0.3% of the visitors will click the ads with intrest.

But I told to get help from his friends just to ensure that Google is not playing with his payment. Though THIS IDEA is not 100% perfect I think upto some extend it can help us to track the mis-understandings.

Please don't give that much intrest in this idea.

It seems I have to take back my words.

Thank you very much for all the posts.

I started this thread as I thought I may be penalized because the errors I made when started with adsense. I understand I'm not being penalized and that I get the same percentage every other regular publisher gets.

As per increasing my adsense clicks, I agree that "building valuable content, and working on increasing genuine/targetted traffic is the way to go." .

Hi,

Really that isn't a way to see if Google is messing with you, but rather a way to get kicked out. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone.

Google is straight forward, they won't penalize you by taking some of your money, or not paying you all of what you are owed but pay you some. While there are grey areas, you either get paid or you don't. You either get kicked out, or your in.

If you are being penalized you either have no ads showing, can't sign into your account and should have received an email explaining the reason.

But to test if your getting paid for all your clicks by asking people to repetitively click on your adsense links is asking to be booted from the program.

I am sure that you were only trying to help, but to someone who maybe new the program they may think that will actually work or help them, I just want to be clear to that person that they will put their account in jeopardy by doing so.

I believe the adsense tracker program members have been talking about is a much better solution. I personally haven't tried it, but it does look good.

THIS IS BAD AND NO ONE WILL DO THAT. JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSE YOU CAN DO ONE OR TWO DAYS. THAT IS WHAT I MENTIONED ABOVE

In theory (Disclaimer: I would never EVER do this.) if I were to set up a web site similar to my competitions and register the domain to them etc.. and basically make it look like it was theirs, then insert their ads onto it by the truckload and get click happy... What would happen to my competition? (NOBODY DO THIS I ONLY ASK OUT OF CURIOSITY.)

they would probably look at your Adsense login cookie and say "shutdown his account".

Ah yes but supposing I didn't have adsense? Suppose someone were to do this to me just out of spite?

you all instantiate a purchase for any new affiliate programs you put up - or randomly through the life of your campaign - to determine if you are being credited properly ... right?

no?
then you're far too trusting.

If google were paying based on conversions, I'd certainly do this. Not so easy with a pay per click model.
