Adsense Do's and Don'ts

[E Pluribus]

Hi all you guys out there in Real Estate!

So much is said about what you can and can't do with Adsense that I'm kinda paranoid! I want to make sure I don't have the shortest Adsense career in the Western World. Help me if you can on these points please

1) Link Exchanging - how does Google look on this? Is it legit from an Adsense perspective. Alos ...doh...what is it exactly?

2) Email campaigning - any tips about a good reputable provider that's cast iron legit and copper fastened and straight as a die and clear as day?

3) Search Engines - how long does it take to get up there. How far up are you guys and how did you get there?

Anyways - good posting with you and I look forward to learning from you all.

Ill answer the #1. As far as Adsense is concerned, link exchanges are not going to hurt your adsense account. On an SEO standpoint, I wouldnt recommend exchanging links only because Google would rather you have inbound links.

1) adsense have no problem. Google dosent really like it, and they punish you if they find out you have bought links. So it would only affect your SEO

2) not sure.

3) again, this is SEO, not adsense. Or do you mean a PPC campaign?

Google does have some issues regarding using ads on your site. You cannot place more than 3 Google ads on a page or you may suddenly find public service announcements appearing on your site in place of relevant ads. A complete TnC can be found within the adsense section. I'd post a link but I have to wait until I have more posts in this forum :)

I use Adsense at the moment, I'm not really convinced that I'm paying for teh real deal here. It gets quite expensive to run and I don't know if there's much follow through with the clicks. 20% are probably from my competitors trying to run up the bill :)

[Rehoboth1]

Here's a few basic don'ts when using Adsense...

#1 - Don't use traffic exchanges or autosurfs to boost your traffic
#2 - Never buy traffic, even if they say it's targeted, it's usually run-off traffic from traffic exchanges and autosurfs
#3 - If you have children in your house, make sure to disable Adsense
#4 - If you have employees in your office using a shared IP see #3

I could post links to sites telling you how to disable Adsense so you don't get accidental (to Google "invalid" clicks) but this forum doesn't allow posting links until you reach a certain plateau, but as soon as I reach that plateau I'll update on this thread.

[Rehoboth1]

I guess I can post links now, so here's some important links for Adsense publishers...

Protect your Adsense account from accidental clicks (http://www.e-articles.info/e/a/title/How-To-Quickly-And-Easily-Protect-Your-Adsense-Account-From-Accidental-Clicks/)

Protect Your Adsense Account From Sabotage (http://www.affiliatebestprograms.com/2007/10/16/protect-your-adsense-account-from-sabotage/)

Using "Allowed Sites" to Safegaurd your Adsense Account (http://www.jensense.com/archives/2007/09/allowed_sites_n.html)

And one of the most important tips I can tell you is that if you see strange activity on your Adsense account, report it immediately because if you get banned, when you appeal your account, you will more than likely be re-instated.

Also, never, ever, ever, go on the Adsense Support forums and post a link to your site, because you will definitely get click-bombed. The Adsense Support forums are full of disgruntled banned publishers who will take pleasure in clicking your ads to get you banned.

This all comes from my own personal experience. Also, let me tell you, that if you're banned and re-instated, you will lose all the earnings you had up until the time of banning. My biggest month ever was Sept 2007 and I had over $1400 due and I was niave and asked a question on the Adsense Forum and no sooner was the site I linked to click-bombed and my account banned (although I reported the suspicious click increase two weeks before being banned).

I appealed without any negativity and was re-instated two weeks later, minus my earnings for Sept and Oct. Plus, I spent a weekwnd removing Adsense from my sites. So now I only use Adsense on my fledgling sites and make sure to only use it as 10-15% of my affiliate advertising.

Google is insane...
you may run Off with huge money or a single mistake may spell doom
just like one of my friend who had his acount banned as one of his cousins toyed around with the pic ads on his site

Link exchanging is only beneficial if you are linking to a website that brings more quality to your website. SO if you content if all California properties, and their is a website that has California property info, like how to buy of something similar then Google will see this as a good link.

The problem with reciprocol linking is that Google got fed up with link farms. So one has to be careful where one links from.

[wood1e]

PS....paying for traffic, is never as good as it sounds. generating your own with articles etc will be more beneficial

[maxclif]

Some of the website owners are honest because they use no follow in robots.txt or will use NOFOLLOW in the link tags. So just be careful.

2) Email campaigning - any tips about a good reputable provider that's cast iron legit and copper fastened and straight as a die and clear as day?
It seems like for the most part, all of your questions have been answered except for this one. For my email marketing, I use www.getresponse.com and it has worked pretty well. I'm not sure if this is the kind of service you are looking for regarding 'email campaigning', but it's pretty good nonetheless.

I don't use google, I use Microsoft and have better results.

As far as paying for traffic goes, there are some things money just can't buy, and that's it. You can generate some clicks by paying for ads ,but you must have a good and useful site if you want to have a consistent flow of traffic.

Watch your links! I've read that your inbound links should be very relevant to your content and that you should only link to sites with a page rank of 4 or above. This also applies to your outbound links as well.

[iamsudhi]

It is not that difficult to get to the top of search engine reaults as it is to stay there. If your site does not show sufficient activities and not updated with relevant useful content regularly then it goes down.

Never pay for adsense. Learn it the hard way build a site. Build ten link them together and with others.

Link Exchanging has no bearing on Adsense, it in no way affects your earnings

Email campaigning, yes you need to be choosy when you are selecting a campaign service provider, i use aweber and they rock - they even give you a statistics of complaints filed after each campaign

Getting up on top of the serps depends on the niche, if it is real estate, well huh....it takes some time and your site needs to be little old and full of content to make an impression with google lady

[rainier]

they're just doing what they think is right,but if I have an adesnse on my site i prefer to use do follow for tis will help me in getting traffic, but always moderating my blogs to keep spammer's away...

well I dont have robots in my site..I just want to keep it simple and honest..just like what you are doing..

[creativecommercialcapital]

Im confused on the rules about adsense. If you competitor goes to your site and clicks all over the place you get a message stating that your site is having invalid clicks. How do you report invalid clicks if you know who is doing it.
thanks
Kent

[creativecommercialcapital]

the article on protecting your Adsense account is really helpful. How do you specifically add the channels. Do you get a code and place it on each code site individually

thanks

1) Link Exchanging - No effect unless you exchange with FFA sites or on the bad neighborhood as they say. Your site could get penalized.

2) Email campaigning - It depends, U can do it the nice way by handing out newsletters.

3) Search Engines - it also depends on how competitive your keyword is.

[housetubetv]

Patience helps!!!
