Keeping An Adsense Account Safe

Hey...Good thread. I have the same concerns, however lately I have been hearing horror stories about adsense accounts getting shut down for no apparant reason...and customer support is a dead-end. That's scary for sure. I would love to hear about precautionary measures (if any).

In my opinion ... Don't be afraid just don't keep your eggs all in one basket ... Like other warriors have been saying ... I take this as if you we got fired from our day Job ... So we look for better opportunities

Obey Gooogle Adsense TOS and never cheat, even you got set up by competitors someday, you can get your account back. As to the plugins, if you are using WP, there are plugins like Adsense Manager can help you manage your adsense ads, such as show different ads to different audience, don't show ads to certain IP, etc. Actually there are lots of plugins can protect your adsense account, try to search them on Google.

This thread has some valuable discussion on this topic. - http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...led-today.html

Most of the concerns are discussed.

I think that, always aware about the visitor IP address... If you ask many of your friends to click on your adsense ads continuously, you put yourself in risk to be banned.

I have a personal adsense account and a business adsense account. What I do is I put all my micro niche sites with my personal adsense account and my big authority sites with my business account. Like everyone says, don't keep all your eggs in one basket.

you are allowed to have ONE personal account and ONE business account. Its not against the rule.

if you have different accounts for every couple of adsense sites....then I think that will be against the policy of google...

you can only have 1 business account under your name. Unless you have partners in your business and you register the account under his/her name. Each business account also require a seperate business address and business bank account.

As long as you play it safe there's nothing to worry about.

Never drive any paid traffic to your site, I learned that this past weekend. Some one in another thread said look at the terms of service. After looking into the TOS it says no Paid Traffic !

I am sorry but there are no precautions when it comes to the safeness of adsense account, we are just nothing to Google Adsense, let us let them to decide.

Just follow the Google Do's and Don'ts no fake click and do try to login your account from multiple IPs.

One thing to consider about Paid traffic, and that's AdWords specifically. In my understanding, Google does not want you to have Ads on a topic on the content network and then have those ads showing on your own sites on the same topic and getting clicks.

It's a kind of double-dipping. You get the traffic on your site like normal, and your ad gets displayed. If somebody clicks your ad, Google makes money from AdWords but has to share the revenue earned from you WITH you. You're basically getting a discount on your ad.

They don't want to share their revenue with you like that. So even if the TOS doesn't explicitly say not to do that, I wouldn't risk it. They can change that TOS at a drop of the hat. And there's probably enough vague stuff in there that they could justify doing it anyway and not let you appeal.

Heck, if they were playing mean, they might kill your Adwords and AdSense accounts.

I'm not saying this will happen. I'm just saying that's Big G's mindset about revenue sharing. I suppose one way to avoid the issue would be to have your sites explicitly excluded from the content network sites list that your campaign runs on.

I'm not Google, so don't consider me an expert on this. It's observation, logic, and personal experience only. You can take it for what it's worth to you.

One good tip is to be wary of using any link promoter to promote your site unless you know precisely where your sites are going to be promoted, so you can check them out for yourself and that they won't ruin the credibility of your Adsense account

yes just keep limited number of Adsense ads on your website and use quality content.

Don't share your website with ppl you think can harm you. that's all

You dont use Adsense on garbage sites and low quality traffic sites and you avoid using sites like blogspot, youtube etc.

I know its difficult because usually a person can only have one adsense account, but in an ideal world you use your adsense account only on your "good" sites.

There is also software like adservers which have "clickbomb detection" and similar...it would disable ads automatically once it detects any suspicious activaty, eg. extreme high CTR.

I forgot the name, but i think its an Opensource software.

Real simple:

1. Read the TOS
2. Follow the TOS

If you really want to be 99% diversified, partner with people who dont have adsense accounts give them 10%-20% of the earnings, and they send you the rest.

WIN/WIN = they get free money + and you have a brand new adsense account to use.

I create WordPress themes with AdSense built in, the user should change my pub-number to theirs. Occassinally they don't and I'd get the AdSense revenue.

Cool hey, free money, recently my account was banned, I got it reinstated after about a week and agreeing to turn on the approved sites list. Wasn't specificaly told it was one of the domains using my themes and not changing the pub-number, but as I listed all my domains on the approved list, must have been as no problems since.

Be careful where your pub-number is used, can get your account banned if it's associated with content that breaks the TOS and they have some quite strict rules (I've had warnings about sites just mentioning sex, one site mentioned anal sex as a joke and got the three day warning).

I'm an extreme case since have thousands of webmasters using my themes with about 20 domains not using their own number. I don't think I'd ever publish a product that shares AdSense income on other sites (WordPress plugins where the plugin author gets a % of the clicks for example).

Interestingly barely made any difference to my AdSense earnings, so looks like the sites weren't worth having my pub number on anyway.
