5 Tip to Get Adsense Account Banned

Today I checked my Adsense account and was shocked to learn that it was banned. But having my sites search engine optimized, I was lucky because account was not disabled on the penalty of invalid or fraudulent clicks. It was banned due to low traffic which caused a loss to Google Adwords advertisers. What can you expect from a free domain (blogspot) containing not more than 20 posts. Then I actually realized the importance of content.

Content is the king.

          When the content is less, relevancy problem occurs. This lowers the search engine ranking and loss of traffic. Regular update is very necessary for any type of site.

From a survey, it was found that even 5 posts per month could increase 300% traffic.

 If the update is on daily basis then the traffic can increase significantly.

          From this ban, I learnt few tips and tricks to increase traffic and maximize Adsense revenue.

Content:

          Content is the king. More content you have more traffic will you get. A site with 100 or more posts can increase your Adsense revenue significantly. Having few back links built, you should concentrate on creating natural and unique content.

Frequent updates:

                             If you post 100 articles a day and then leave it, you will bring your ranking down. Frequent updates matter a lot. If you post 10 articles a day, it will not bring significant traffic. But even if you post 5 articles with regular frequency, it will increase your traffic and maximize Adsense revenue.

Disassociate URLs:

                             If you have more than one site, you can monitor the performance of each one of them.

If any URL is getting low traffic you can disassociate it from your Adsense account and after increasing traffic again add the URL to Adsense account.

Adwords voucher:

                             You can grab easily available Adwords vouchers to advertise your site. This will bring targeted traffic and keep your site traffic at least above average.

Back links:

                   Back links are also an easy way to keep your traffic at a better level. When you add a site to a blog directory, it is reviewed bringing a unique visitor. Also maintain frequency in back link building.

 Build not more than 3 links a day.

         

          Following these tips will let you increase traffic, maximize revenue and keep your Adsense account safe.

How Google Detects Invalid Clicks

                Google Adsense is the highest paying ad service on the internet. As it is the highest paying so it has to confront maximum fraudulent activity. That’s why getting Adsense account has become very difficult due to strict TOS of Google.

Why people indulge in fraud:

                There are many answers to this question.

• Greed for money
• Urge for being rich overnight
• Lack of patience
• Unwilling to put in effort
• Curiosity to earn from Adsense

                People may think that they can dodge Google. But Google is much smarter than anybody thinks-it’s the king of the web. Google will easily detect invalid click activity and will flag your account. Once banned, you can’t reopen your Adsense account.

What is invalid/fraudulent activity?

                Anything against Google TOS (Terms of Service) is considered a fraudulent act. It includes:

Clicking Google ads by yourself through any means

Asking friends to click Adsense ads for you

Exchanging clicks

Designing a program (bot) for automated clicks

Now the most wanted part, how Google detects invalid clicks:

                There are so many ways Google can detect invalid click activity. Anything you can think of, being an Adsense publisher is detectable by Google. Because any trick tried on Google Adsense may be fruitful once but then it is flagged and easily detected.

Here are some of the ways through which Google detects invalid clicks:

1. IP detection:

                The most common way of detecting invalid actions is through IP. If the IP you use to login to your Adsense account and the IP you use to click ads are same then you are well gone. Google has easy access to every IP connecting to its services and bots to match the IPs and is very efficient over it.

2. Asking friends to click ads:

                When you ask your friend, sitting far away from your location, to click ads for you they usually click the ad and then close it because they are not interested in it. This way Google detects a click to be invalid.

3. CTR:

                Although high CTR sites are ranked higher but they can pose threat if you exchange clicks which you should not. CTR 2% to 10% is considered safe.  If you exchange clicks, then the frequency with which impressions come and the location from where they come can be suspected for invalid activity. 30 impressions coming from one location on a 20 page site is really a foolish thing.

4. Location:

                Google can trace a location even to small towns. So clicking ads from a nearby net cafe or a friend’s home will cause your account to be banned.

5. Cookies:

                Google saves its cookies on your browser so even if you try to click ads by changing IP, your clicks will be detected and your Adsense account will be flagged.

6. Using IP hiding software:

                There are IP hiders freely available but they can also be detected. When you click on daily basis at a specific time and next day again the same time, you are suspected. At a specific time your site is visited for some time and next day again at the same time and you surely get clicks as well, do you think Google can’t detect it?

7. Other Google services:

                Google has other services like Gmail, Google Ad words etc. so if you access any of them, your IP is saved with Google and Google can use that IP to detect invalid click activity.

                 Now that you know how Google can detect every possible fraud, a suggestion is that if your are involved in any of them, quit it at once otherwise your account will be banned.
