AdSense Rules of Conduct
After you have created a site that has been accepted by Google you have to be aware of the following AdSense rules of conduct to make sure you don’t fall foul of them in the future:
- Encouraging visitors to click AdSense Ads are strictly forbidden. Do not attempt to do so in anyway.
- Don’t attempt to confuse visitors by overlapping disguising or covering ads with images or text so that users are tricked or they cannot distinguish between content.
- Participating or creating ‘click groups’ (sets of people that click each other’s Ads) is banned. Google have very clever means of detecting such groups.
- Ads cannot be put on empty pages (pages with no content), pop-up pages, error pages, contact forms or registration pages.
- You cannot use automated bots to boost the amount of clicks on your site.
- Do not overpopulate your pages with Ads. Don’t display more than the maximum allowed by Google, which at the time of writing is: 3 ad unit, 1link unit, 2 search boxes and 2 referrals.
- You shouldn’t have more than 1 AdSense account. All your sites can be registered under your sole AdSense account.
