Stay Away From These Simple Google AdSense Mistakes
Google AdSense is turning out to be the chosen platform for webmasters and Internet marketers when it comes to site monetization. The reason Google's advertising platform is so popular is because it is easy to use and easy to implement.
However, if you really want to succeed with Adsense, you need to make sure that you understand the rules that Google has implemented. It is okay to think outside of the box when you work with a company like Google but you need to make sure that even your most outside the box thinking fits within the boundaries of the company. Not following the rules could endanger your AdSense account. Here are some of the most important mistakes that you need to avoid all the time. You must avoid these mistakes if you wish to be successful at authority marketing.
Do not make the mistake of masking your ad elements. This is another way of saying that you have plenty of freedom for choosing the colors of the ads and their borders so that they fit in well with the rest of your website. Do not, under any circumstances, make the mistake of taking this too far. There are sites that don't focus on this and go as far as having the same color for the URL as the background. Sure it is a good idea to make sure the ads blend in with your site but hiding the URLs is a very big no-no. In addition to that you need to ensure that your ads are visible and not hidden by images or tables. When you do this not only are you following the rules, your increasing your click through rate and the amount of money that you can make. Putting up adjacent images will only confuse your visitors. Not long ago publishers would put up the same amount of images as they had text ads in an attempt to increase their click through rate to give the (false) impression that the images were represented by the text ads. Therefore, inserting a line or even a small space between your ads isn't allowed. You have to make sure that site visitors can easily tell the difference between your images and your ads. Avoiding these small mistakes can go a long way toward making sure that your account stays safe and that your relationship with Google stays good.
You also need to make sure that you do not put your ads on pages that do not contain relevant content; these include "thank you" pages and registration pages. Let's be honest: advertisers want to pay money on ads that will be displayed on pages that have targeted content. This is good because relevant content will help you get better ads.
So, unless your page has a good amount of well written content do not put your AdSense ads up. All in all, the mistakes that we discussed in the above article aren't that difficult to avoid; you just need awareness. The reason why Google is so strict when it comes to AdSense is because they don't want their advertisers complaining about not getting value. Because you partner with Google to run AdSense on your site you are obligated to follow the TOS to keep everyone happy. It is easy to be an AdSense publisher and the income potential is great but if you don't follow the basic rules your time and effort won't be worth anything.
