How to Avoid Getting Your Adsense Account Terminated
Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search resulrs. Due to Google’s public shareholder status, in order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results is given extreme importance.
For this same reason, doing the wrong things with Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty and may get you banned and even have your account terminated. There is nothing like a sure and swift action such as terminating a publisher’s account to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.
So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.
Hidden text
Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using CSS for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.
Page cloaking
There is a common practice of using browser or bot snifters to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.
Multiple submissions
Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages are another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination. Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.
Link farms
Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not make them higher than that.
Page rank for sale
Some sites seek to sell or trade their PR links with other sites. I am sure you have seen or heard of this if you have been online any amount of time. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.
Doorway pages
This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page is a big issue among search engines. There are many SEO firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.
Multiple domains having the same content
In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.
Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a goal of building your Adsense together with your pages to benefit your human users and not for bots, you can be assured of a long future with Google Adsense and enduring Adsense income from your ads and sites … Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense account terminated altogether.
