HOW TO GET BACK YOUR ADSENSE ACCOUNT

A number of web site owners
are getting kicked out of the
AdSense program when they
have done nothing wrong to
deserve such a punishment.
Many are left wondering what
they have done wrong and what
can they do to get back in
Adsense. Below is a few steps
that you can use to attempt
getting back in AdSense and also
shows you how to minimize the
chances of this problem
becoming one of your own.
Click fraud is the most common
reason people get kicked out of
the AdSense program. It's also
the first one we'll take a look at.
Majority of web hosts offer
access logs, if your web host
offers access to logs make sure
you hand this over to Google as
well. This will allow Google to
look for any suspicious activity
on your site and shows Google
that you take this problem
seriously enough that you'll help
them in anyway you can.
It also helps if you have click
monitoring software, you should
turn over all the information you
receive from your click
monitoring software to Google.
You may want to go so far as
disabling ads for your own IP
address and local geographic
area. This prevents accidents and
makes sure Google doesn't
mistake an other user as you. Do
not ask visitors to click on your
ads, Google's TOS (Terms Of
Service) makes it clear that this is
not allowed.
Keep AdSense off of popup or
popunders. The ads should not
be displayed on content that
promotes illegal activity or
infringes on the legal rights of
others. The ads also can't be
displayed on content that's
considered adult or on gambling
content. If you are breaking any
of those rules you should
Immediately remove the content
or AdSense from the web page.
Confess to Google about any
times where you might have
clicked on your own ads or
otherwise where you did
something that's against the TOS
(Terms Of Service). Be honest
and up front about anything you
may have done that was wrong.
If you lie they'll eventually learn
or already know about it and
you'll never get back in if that's
the case. So be HONEST, nice
and up front about everything!
Contact Google, don't just send
off a random email to them. Be
polite and honest. Provide
anything that may be a help to
them. Tell Google you are sorry
and why this situation will not
happen again in the future. It's
important to point out the steps
you have taken to prevent this
from happening again later on,
such as click monitoring software
or blocking certain IP addresses.
How to minimize the chances
of you getting kicked out.
The first step you should take is
disable ads for your own IP
address, this makes sure that the
ads won't be displayed to you,
which insures no accidents can
happen. You can do this via
a .htaccess file. You may also
want to do the same thing for IP
numbers coming from the same
geographic area as yours. Google
may mistake this as you clicking
on your own ads and kick you
out because of it.
If you don't already have click
monitoring software you really
should get one. There's no
reason why you can't get one
because most of them are free.
Remember to report any activity
that's odd. This shows Google
you too are fighting against click
fraud and are not part of it.
Study your server logs and watch
for any activity that's suspicious.
As you should do with the click
monitoring software, you should
also report anything that's odd
to them.
Don't tell your family or friends
about AdSense on your web site.
They may click on your ads to
help you make more money
without knowing that they could
be doing more harm to you then
good. And if you happen to tell
a family member or friend or
they somehow find out about it,
make sure they understand that
they can't click on your ads
under any circumstance what so
ever.
