Why does google ban you?

Google banned you? is this your 3rd account or more than that? here i ve given reasons on what basis google bans you.

For new users.., (got banned for first time)

1. Invalid clicks

If you click all the ads and open and close it, before the ad page opens, it is invalid clicks.

Eg, if you click all the four links in skyscrapper ad and close it before the ad page opens,

In this case you are paid nothing. But you are registered in google fault vaults, by which they may ban you at any time..

2. Fraud clicks

If clicks done are more than 3 from single system, or you click your own ads, it come under fraud clicks and so you will be banned

3. Click through rate

Generally google expects 1 click from you site for 100 impressions. So it has a reporting field called CTR. If it is maintained between 1-10, you encounter no problem. Else all earnings are returned to providers itself and thus ban you.

It is good practice to maintain CTR between 4.5 to 7.5

What is more Important in CTR
Many may think that finally when reviews your CTR should be below 10. So after considerable amount of clicks, they will try to reduce it. This is stupid thing. Google does reviews on all days. So your CTR for all days should be maintained in same range.

4. Referrals

No one knows about it. This is also the main criteria for banning of your account. If you ve placed any Referral ads in your site, and if any one has clicked it and filled wrong information, google assumes that this is done by your cause and bans you.

Note: Even unknown users fills wrong information, only you will be caught. So it s better to place minimum amount of referral ads in your site


ACCOUNT BANNED EVEN AFTER YOU VE FOLLOWED ALLTHESE
Your account got banned even after following all these.. Then definitely it must not be your first account. Here i ve given you the reasons why you ve been banned.

Reasons
1. Your created account contains already existing adsense users address(ie two account)
2. Your account contains address which is already banned.
3. Clicks are done from only specific ips.

Making Google Adsense Work For You

If you have been online for quiet some time you might have noticed those tiny ads on many websites with the little "ads by google" notice beneath them.

These ads are called "Adsense", they are paid advertisements and can be a very lucrative income source for the person posting them on his/her website.

Whenever someone visits your website Google displays these ads which are very targeted to your websites content. This is what its all about, since people come to your website with a specific interest Google will display ads reflecting that topic.

That means that any ad that is displayed fits the interest of the person viewing it.Since Google pays you for each click through this can be very lucrative if done right. Here are just a couple of examples on how you can get the most from Adsense.

Focussing on one specific topic helps increase your click throughs because the ads Google displays will be extremely targeted to the topic the person is allready viewing.

For example you could make a website purely on growing flowers. People who visit your website are already interested in gardening and Google will likewise display ads on that topic.

A great tool to check wich keywords might be shown by Google on your website is http://www.about-adsense.com/adsense-web-tool.html

The more targeted Google's ads are the more click throughs you will get and the more you will earn.

Search for the keywords that have the highest bids and optimize your website to them.

When you setup an account at http://www.adwords.com you can use Googles keyword tool to view wich keywords pull the most visitors and how much the advertisers are paying for each click. Some keywords are as much as $100 a click, think of what you earn when you optimize your website to them. Next you optimize your sites content to these keywords, you can do this by either creating content yourself or by using other peoples content like for example articles from third parties wich you can find at for example http://www.ezinearticles.com.

Remember its all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is the more target Google's ads will be and the more clicks you will generate. Have fun!

Don't Use The Word 'Ads' - It's A Dirty Word

I want to tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone - unless
you want to forward this email onto another website
owner you know who would benefit from this advice. ;o)

Here's the deal;

The best way to boost your AdSense clickthrough rate is to
stop thinking of the ads as ads. The moment you do this
you start to see the whole thing in a new way.

Think about this logically for a moment. You're surfing on
the Internet and you see something that is unmistakably an
ad. What do you do?

a) Rush over to click on the ad because you love those
things

b) Laugh excitedly at the prospect of being taken away from
the interesting content you're reading

c) Ignore it saying to yourself "that's an ad"

It's c) right? Well I hope it is! But the point is -
people hate ads, we're all suffering from ad-blindness,
ad-avoidance and ad-overload. So what if you could make
your AdSense ads look less like ads and more like helpful
snippets of information?

Woah there Michael! You're scaring me now, what are you
suggesting to me?

All I'm saying is that if you put this theory at the heart
of your mission to build a cash-generating AdSense empire
you will get there before everyone else.

Alright Michael - how can I do this? Give me some examples!

Look, I don't want to give ALL my methods away because I've
saved that for serious, dedicated people who buy the videos
(nudge, nudge!) but here's some tip-ettes;

- Don't use the standard Google colour scheme, it just
screams "I am an ad, hate me and ignore me!"

- Get a picture in your mind of what the most typical ads
look like on the web then create your AdSense ads so that
they are exactly the opposite

- Ads are garish creatures that like to be bright, loud and
stand out in a crowd. We all know this. So making your
AdSense ads exactly the opposite means they can 'sneak under
the radar'

- You've seen a boxing match right? Where's all the action?
In the middle. In the ring. Where are the ads that are
paraded around between rounds? In the ring - the centre of
everyone's attention. Where's the 'action' on each of your
pages? Your ads need to be in the same place.

Let's just be clear about this. I'm not talking about
misleading your visitors. I'm just saying that you need to
have ads that don't look like the standard ads people
expect to see. Obviously your visitors will still know they
are ads because they'll have the 'Ads by Google' text next
to them.

This is not about pulling the wool over visitor's eyes - it's
about creating a browsing experience which makes them feel at
ease rather than on edge.

about keywords

I want to talk to you about keywords.

I'll be honest - there's an enormous amount of cr*p 
around to do with using keywords to get higher AdSense 
earnings so I'm going to set the record straight.


** What Keywords Can And Can't Do

When I first started using AdSense (remember I was pulling 
in a poxy $2 per day) I shunned the high paying keyword 
lists you see everywhere.

I thought they were a scam. The thing is - although there 
are some low-quality ones out there, if you do the research 
(and BELIEVE me, I've done that alright) then you can find 
lists that are worth TEN TIMES more than people charge for 
them.

So how does it all work?

Well, quite simply, what you get paid by Google is 
determined by how much advertisers are willing to pay, per 
click, for any given phrase. To get paid more you need to 
focus on the higher paying phrases so that, on average, 
you will get paid more per click.

Is it really that simple?

Well, not quite. You also need to take into account that 
just because a certain phrase pays well doesn't mean that 
you can get a good search engine ranking for it or that you 
can attract any people to your pages who are interested in 
it.

That's why I recommend using multiple tools to help you get 
the definitive answer on the best phrases to use. (I go 
through this in detail in Video 2).

Should I go after high paying phrases regardless of topic?

No siree! This is another big no-no. Don't jump on the 
bandwagon unless the phrase is related to what your website 
is about and more importantly:

WHAT YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR

Did I just use the word 'passion' in an email about AdSense? 
You bet I did!! If you're not passionate about the chosen 
theme of your website then this will come across to your 
visitors. If you are not passionate about your chosen theme 
then you will soon tire of putting in the hours to update 
the site and make those big bucks with AdSense!

In a nutshell - find the best phrases for your theme based 
on:

- How much they are likely to pay you per click
- What level of competition there is out there for these 
phrases
- Your chances of attracting good traffic levels for these 
phrases

Big Content Mistakes

Did your Mother ever tell you that 'everything in
moderation is okay'? Well, she was an AdSense genius
that woman!

There is a definite road to disaster with AdSense and
it comes by doing too much of one thing.

1. Don't have a site built purely from your own content.

Why? Because it will take too long to grow lots of pages.
Although unique, quality content is the bees knees if you
ignore other sources of content you are, to quote the
cheese-gurus, 'leaving money on the table'.

2. Don't have a site built purely from other people's
content.

Why? Because you'll have little that's unique on your
site. Every man and his dog tries to borrow other people's
content and use content that already exists elsewhere.
But that doesn't make it right:

"If you do what everybody else does, you'll get what
everybody else gets."

Search engines can frown on duplicate content so if you
use sources of content that are not unique you'll need to
do things to make those pages unique. But the best plan is
not build a site entirely from other people's content

3. Don't have a site built purely of 'synthesized' content.

Why? Because using fancy article-crawling-machines and other
'automatic content machines' will backfire on you eventually.
It might make you some revenue in the short-term but it's
like trying to build a house with bricks but no mortar.

Sure - it's WAY quicker, but I know which house I'd rather
live in and which one is still going to be there in a
year's time..

Google Adsense: How Much Money You Can Make and URL Channels Explanation

How Much Money Can I Make With Google Adsense?

How much do you want to make? How hard do you want to work? And how much time do you want to spend working the Google Adsense program?

These are the questions you must ask yourself in order to answer that question.

Look at it this way: how many business opportunities come your way where the only requirement is hard work and the time it takes to work hard? Not many. Almost any business venture requires some kind of start-up money.

If your total earnings is showing 0.00 after a week, not to worry. Keep reading and learning and working. If however, you’re still showing 0.00 after a month, it may be time to implement some of those optimization tips you’ll find on the Google Adsense Support Site. Play around with the placement of the ads on your site. Consider changing the colors. Look again at the content. Is it interesting?

As with any other business, with the Google Adsense program, the sky is the limit. Work hard. Work smart. Have fun. After all, you’re the boss.

What Are URL Channels and How to Organize Them in Google Adsense

URL Channels allow you to view detailed information about the performance of your Adsense for Content pages.

Suppose you have a blog at writingup.com and you also have a blog at bloggerparty.com. It might be interesting and profitable to track which one is getting more clicks. Log in to your Adsense account and click on Adsense for Content. Scroll down until you see Channels and click on manage channels. You may need to scroll up when the next page loads. Under Manage URL Channels you would type writingup.com and click on Create New Channel. You will immediately see writingup.com in the Active URL Channels dialogue box Now type in bloggerparty.com in the same channel text box and again click on Create New Channel. You now have two channels and you will be able to track your progress on each channel. You can view channel reports from the Advanced Report page under the Reports tab. Choose Adsense for Content, choose the date range and then select the Channels Data radio button. Choose any number of active channels by holding down the CTRL key. Next click on Display Report. It’s as easy as that.

The 5-Step Plan to Success

Once you’re accepted, you want to maximize the opportunity. In this section, we
look at some of the most effective strategies for generating optimum revenue
from the Google AdSense program.

Step 1 - Formatting Ad Blocks

You can let Google decide for you the type of ads that will be displayed on your
webpage, but as the website publisher, you may be in a better position to decide
what ads suit the content of your website and how you would like them displayed.
To the extent possible, whether chosen by Google or you, make the ads seem
like part of the site itself.
Most internet marketing experts believe that the ads on your website have a high
probability of getting clicked if they blend in with the rest of the content of your
web page. Factors such as color scheme, font size and type, and the
appearance of your ad should match your web page. Borders are optional and
we think often you should opt out – why put a box around the ad that says “Hi!
I’m an ad!”?
Also, regardless of other design choices, text links should be blue. Why are text
links blue? For the same reason Henry Ford said of the Model-T “They can have
any color they want so long as it’s black.” They just are.
Though we think text ads are generally better than graphic ads, also known as
image ads, Google does offer them with the program.
Actually, you don’t need to struggle much with whether graphic ads or text will be
better on your pages, as Google’s technology will suggest whether an image ad
or a text ad will be more suitable and which will earn you maximum revenues
(since you earn part of they earn, they have motives to get this mix right).
However, it remains totally up to you whether you wish to run image ads or textbased
ads. You can select only image ads, or text ads or a combination of both
these formats on your entire AdSense account or on one page at a time based
on your discretion.

Step 2 - Ad Placement

“Location, location, location.” It is true in real estate and true in advertising,
including web advertising. Since the “location” of the user is your site already, the
“location” of the ad in this context means on which pages, where on the pages,
and so on. As noted, the less an ad looks like an ad, the more effective it is likely
to be.
Then there are general design and usability factors to consider.
If your webpage is cluttered and you can’t dispense with any content, you may
want to break it down further into sections or more pages to provide easier
reading. This also gives you the potential benefit of placing additional ads.
As noted, we generally recommend text-based ads. However, text-dense sites
may actually do better with image ads. If your site has very few graphics, you
may want to balance it out by putting image-based ads. In the monotony of a lot
of dense written information, image-based ads and graphics provide what’s
called visual relief. This can also prompt clicks.
Where should you put the ads? The chances of your ad getting noticed by the
visitors to your site increases greatly if you place ads as close to the top of your
webpage as possible.
If you choose to place so-called ‘skyscraper’ ads – in magazines these would be
called columns – on the sidebars of your webpage, it would be wise to place
them on the right side of your principal content areas. The reason for this is the
visitor to your page (in most languages) will read from left to right, he or she will
chance upon the ad ultimately, if not consciously then at least out of habit. Their
eyes will go there. From the left, they can visually “skip” the ad when they start
reading next to it.
Your ads should be placed in such a way that it matches the links to other
websites on your site. If you already have a links section on your site, put the
AdSense links in that section or list. This is not dishonest – if it were Google
would not allow it.
Obviously if you have a “most popular” area on your website, such as a page that
is updated daily with some kind of material that people bookmark to revisit often,
place your ad(s) there instead of somewhere else that may get less traffic. For
many websites the home page is not actually the most accessed area. If you
don’t know what the traffic pattern is on your sites, it’s easy to find out – ask your
hosting provider about usage logs.
One more thing: While some affiliate marketing programs encourage host sites to
encourage clicks directly, it is not appropriate to expressly ask your readers to
click on the ads served by the Google programs. Not only is it unprofessional
and arguably unethical, it also annoys people and moreover Google AdSense
actually prohibits any such activity. You can neither directly solicit clicks nor can
you do anything considered deceptive to encourage clicks.
In conclusion, the emphasis is always on quality of content on your web pages.
Good and interesting content makes your site better, more acceptable to Google,
more likely to win with AdSense, and therefore more profitable for you!

Step 3 - Researching Keywords

After you are done choosing the right format and location for your AdSense ads,
don’t sit back and wait for the money to roll in just yet. The next important step is
to choose the right keywords for your web pages. These will influence both who
visits your site, and how AdSense assigns ads to you.
The number one mistake most website publishers make is to constantly choose
high-paying (i.e. expensive!) keywords assuming that it will yield them more
income. While it is tempting to choose such keywords to get higher rankings on
search engines, be prudent when it comes to selecting the right keywords that go
with the AdSense ads that are to be displayed.. Remember the goal here is clicks, not SEO rankings. This is a case where you often do not get what you pay
for.
Consider this scenario. Your webpage talks about wine tasting courses. You
review search phrases and keywords with “wine” in it and you find “wine rack” is
in the top three and available, so you buy it. The corresponding ads also focus on
buying wine racks online, wine storage and building your own wine racks. After a
week when you check on the statistics of your webpage and AdSense account,
you see that you are losing visitors and your income is dipping! The keyword
selection is faulty in this case even though it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Why? The visitors to your webpage were actually looking for wine racks and
have landed on your webpage talking about wine tasting courses instead. The
wine course types want to sign up for the courses, maybe buy a book on wine, or
a wine of the month club. They don’t want to build a wine rack. Think
strategically, not tactically.
Just because a keyword is high paying and is seemingly related, does not mean
it is totally relevant and you need something relevant. Relevance is more
important than value! In the above case, you could have – and should have –
chosen wine tasting tour, wine tasting party, wine tasting event, wine tasting
class, wine tasting school, course tasting wine and so on. You are interested in
relevance more than popularity. Tasting is a match. Racks are not.
Let’s look at some of the ways in which you can research your keywords for
AdSense ads:
You can check out the popularity of various keywords if you already have
an account with Google AdWords. This way you will get an idea of the
popularity of various keywords as well as the cost and returns that entail.
Google AdWords also has a tool known as the AdWords Keywords Tool
which can sometimes help you search for alternate keywords and
variations.
Another tool known as Keyword Analyzer can generate numerous key
phrases that are typed by Internet users in different search engines.Consider getting a WordTracker account. They have an excellent tool that
suggests top 1,000 most popular keywords. This tool can also help you
create a list of relevant keywords for your webpage. You can learn a lot
from a small investment here.
Another great idea is to search for top 100 keywords on 7search
which will
give you an idea of high-paying keywords.
Your clickthrough rate will be boosted tremendously by including the right
keywords in your web copy, of course. Keywords occurring in your ads are
usually highlighted on the search engine results page. This also helps in drawing
additional attention to your ad.
The URL of your webpage is also an integral part of achieving success on
Google AdSense program, as it is on the Web generally. Current wisdom holds
that the keywords in the URL are equally if not more important than the ones
featured in the actual webpage content or in metatags. If you change your
ordinary URL to a keyword rich URL relevant to your market, it is possible to
raise your CTR as much as 200% or more without doing anything else.
Obvious domain names with the keywords that you want might be expensive to
purchase from a broker, but you can also buy used domain names that are no
longer active, often for just a few dollars per year.

Step 4 - Developing Content

Let’s assume you have good ads, good placement, and good traffic.
This step is all about how to tweak your pre-existing content to support the most
effective profitability from your new AdSense program.
One major mistake many web publishers make now is to lard up their pages with
a bazillion keywords for so-called “search engine optimization.” Do not fall into
that trap and clutter your webpage with high-profile buzzwords that do not
contribute to the value of your webpage or the experience of your intended
audience. Remember, we’re focused here on clicks, which means bringing relevant readers to your site and giving them a good experience that puts them in
an inquisitive or buying frame of mind.
As a general rule, all content shifts should make some kind of sense. You may
well be able to make connections between articles on sports, to articles on sports
medicine, to articles on herbal supplements which feature ads for those products.
On the other, a web page on bicycles should not have ads for other kinds of
pumps, if you know what we mean.
Before you decide to add that magic Google AdSense code on any page of your
website, you should have dealt with the following two important steps:
High quality textual content
Ensure that your web pages have enough textual content so that the
AdSense program can set up ads that are relevant to the content on your
pages. If you have very little content, it will be difficult for Google to
determine the focus of your page and end up displaying only public
service ads that do not earn any revenue.
Use different page titles for different pages
Have unique page titles based on the specific content of each page.
Avoid generic or vague page titles such as ‘Untitled Document’ or ‘Page
1’. Be crisp and precise and avoid using long phrases and difficult words
in the page titles. If your page has a very long title, it might get banned
from some search engines, so be pithy.

Step 5 - Tracking and Reports

Tracking the results of your marketing efforts can help you focus your efforts and
make adjustments to win. Google offers a great free tracking feature known as ‘Channels’. You can use
these channels to track ads on specific URLs or to categorize ads based on their
formats, keywords, location on web page and so on.
You can choose from two channel types offered by Google.

URL Channels

This will help you track the performance of your web pages without altering your
ad code. All you need to do to track your performance is to enter a full or partial
URL in the channel and you’re done. A full page URL will track the performance
of the specific page having that address. If you want to track all the pages on a
specific domain, you need to enter a top-level domain name.

Custom Channels

Custom channels are used to track the performance of your webpage based on
the criteria that you specify. You can choose what specific factor you would like
to track and customize the channel according to your requirements.
As the name suggests, custom channels are very flexible, and if you have ever
used any kind of data reporting tool you will find setting them up easy and logical.
You can have up to 50 custom channels!

You can compare the performance of different ad formats and the relevancy of
ads. You can also compare how ads on one page are performing when
compared with ads on other pages. You can do so by assigning each group of
pages to a specific channel and eventually comparing results in your customized
channel reports. You can also see where your clicks are coming from by
assigning a channel to each of your separate pages. Also, it is a good idea to
name your channel in such a way that it is easy to identify different channels in
reports, especially if you are using a dozen or more. Server Logs
In addition to the ‘channel’ program offered by Google to track your AdSense ads
on your web pages, you can also use any of the various high quality external
AdSense tracking software packages to track your performance in greater detail
(except actual revenues – you need to get that from Google). One major
advantage of such software is that it runs locally, which enables you to access
specific information that Google doesn’t track. Be aware that none of these thirdparty
software solutions are “endorsed” by Google currently but most of them
guarantee to operate within AdSense guidelines. Just make sure they do,
because you don’t want to lose your account status over a technical violation by
a third party.
Some of the information you can obtain by using tracking software:
Referring website of all your visitors
The type of web browser they are using
Where the actual ad-clickers are coming from
Search keywords typed in by the visitors to your website that eventually
brought them to you
You should use a combination of Google channels and a reliable AdSense
tracking program so as to get comprehensive information about your AdSense
account.
