8 Ways to Get Banned by Google AdSense


Google takes click fraud VERY seriously. They do not want their
advertisers cheated!

Here is a short list of things Google is watching for. Any one of
these could result in your account being terminated.

1. Multiple clicks from the same IP address. Warning! A workplace
with multiple computers is probably using the same public IP
address for all the computers! If you work at a place with many
computers/employees, do not tell people about your site!

2. If your Click Through Rate is too high, Google could flag that
as possible click fraud.

3. Do you have friends and relatives all in the same town clicking
on your ads? If so, Google will know!

4. Ok, so you get fancy and think you can spoof your IP (change
your IP address). Google also uses cookies to check!

5. Google will think it is odd if a certain person (computer)
clicks on ads on one specific site but rarely clicks on other
sites' ads.

6. They also will wonder why a person is clicking ads at a higher
rate than normal on a site they typed in or went to with a bookmark.

7. Yikes! People are finding and clicking on a site which is not
ranked well in the search engines and has virtually no incoming
links. There's a red flag for sure! Google wonders how that site
got traffic in the first place.

8. Many advertisers have conversion tracking set for their
accounts. Google will find it odd if the clicks on your site never
result in a sale or some type of conversion like a newsletter
signup, etc. .

By the way, Google does not care who committed the "bad clicking".
All they care about is that their advertisers can be hurt by the
clicking. Perfectly honest people can have their accounts banned if
they position their sites in such ways which may attract "bad
clicks".

For example, say you come from a large family and mention to all of
them you are making money by people clicking the links your site.
They love you, they simply try to help you when they get back home,
and they get you banned.

Google's number one concern is for their advertisers. You should
ALSO make the advertisers your number one concern! This will insure
a long and profitable relationship between you and Google.
