Hi warriors,

After skimming through this forum, I would like to start an adsense blog/website.

I would like to know, if there anyone who would like to share some tips on adsense, best practices and things to avoid.

I also heard that adsense lately quite often banned their publishers for no reason.. can you tell me what niche that is.. maybe it is niche related or too much affiliate link inside the blog post or such?

I also heard that people making less and less for a couple of months now, is
true?

Last but not least, starting adsense in 2014, does it still relevent?

    Adsense is the best ad network , I was surprised to see "IS IT STILL RELEVANT" , right now its the only relevant adnetwork, Yeah I also heard they ban people for NO REASON but I am using for 3 years and I never got banned , I also heard that , actually read a long long pastebin LEAK about adsense banning mechanism But frankly speaking, In the last 3 years I never faced a ban.
    About the things to avoid, STAY WHITE HAT , DON'T CLICK YOUR OWN ADS, DON'T TRY TRICKING THEM

    About the affiliate links, that totally wrong , I am putting about 4 amazon links for 1 product in my posts for 2 years on my blog and I put 3 products in each post so it means total of 12 affiliate links in every post.

    Build your blog and test out Adsense on it. If Adsense makes more money than other forms of monetization, then use it. If it doesn't, don't use it.

    Google won't ban you if you abide by the TOS, don't send garbage traffic, and don't try and defraud them.

    And yes, there is plenty of money to be made from Adsense in 2014.

    It's good to know I'm not the only one who believes Adsense is still relevant. I think the days of ShoeMoney's 6-figure check are gone. But I believe if people create smart content around their Adsense ads, then the negative press Adsense users have gotten lately will diminish.

    The way I look at it, Adsense isn't going to be a full-time income stream for me; but it's still good for a few hundred bucks here and there if I do it right.

    Before starting a website blog make sure you check Adsense prohibited content help page just to be sure your content is cool and won't get you banned from Adsnese.

      AdSense is definitely still relevant. To address this question from the other side, as an AdWords consultant, I see companies spending thousands of dollars per week to show their ads on publishers' sites. A lot of that money goes to very large, well-established sites, but there's decent money going to small publishers as well.

    Yeah, adsense is still cool. Huge problem is you can be banned if your CTR + CPC is too high, even if it's all on the level and legitimate traffic. AND, clickbombing has become a thing recently, which is probably why Google gets paranoid with CTR and fires first then asks questions later.

    Follow the rules, write converting content(which is slightly different than content for the reader, and the difference I will let you find, because it will make you money), maintain your backlinks proper, and get ready to complain to Google because once you pass a success threshold you will start to see problems.

    Make sure you withdraw your money as soon as possible. The amount of people I see saying they didn't withdraw and lost $thousands to a network for apparently no reason is heartbreaking.
