AdSense Terms of Service - Please Read!

[ihelpyou]

I hope you all post your AdSense questions and help others get good answers!

That being said, all you AdSense Customers read the Terms of Service of being an Adsense customer again and again and again.

It clearly states that you are violating the terms of service if you discuss in any way, shape, or form dollar figures of anything having to do with your account.

Any post that is caught discussing dollar figures OR their specific account in any detail whatsoever will be edited or deleted. Please don't do this.

Read the AdSense TOS if you want more information.

[RoySpencer]

well....how about we discuss how many publishers have gone from having a whole bunch of flashing banners to just AdSense? Or how many have tried it and dropped it? That wouldn't be a TOS violation, would it?:D

[ihelpyou]

Not at all. :)

FYI, Google has emailed a couple of members who's posts in here gave dollar figures. It's a No-No in a big way. The posts got by me and the mods both.

I wish I could watch in here 24/7, but I find it difficult to sleep if I do that. :D

[RoySpencer]

Doug:
Sorry you had to deal with that...I'm sure Google realizes how tough it is to monitor forums such as this....(and how troublesome it will be to enforce their TOS!) Don't worry too much about it, dude. Ya'll do what you can....but, ultimately, it's the responsibility of each publisher to play by Google's rules....it's not your responsibility to police thier TOS.

[icwcorp]

What could be the reasons behind such a ban? Seems to infringe on the 1st amendment. I don't think it's right.

[scottiecl]

Your participation in Adsense isn't a government-granted right. It's a business partnership that you enter into. If you agree not to discuss dollar figures and then you do, you've broken the TOS.

But no one makes you use Adsense! It's all up to you. :)

[Jayminator]

It's understandable. Google doesn't want people comparing the amounts they're getting per click for their respective industries and then getting all stroppy because their doll's house website isn't bringing in as much per click as one focused on legal advice or web design.

[deepesh]

I want to know whether adsense also pays more if anybody makes a purchase frm a link on my website, i was told about this by a guy on another forum.

[chrishirst]

:hi: deepesh welcome to IHY.

makes no difference. Google obviously can't monitor sales of the advertisers.
It's just the click through that is credited to your account.

[deepesh]

That guy claims he recived 29$ dollars for a single-click, i know that was rubbish.

[ihelpyou]

Welcome to the forums deepesh! :hi:

[deepesh]

Thank You! This forum is great :) :cheers:

[nandini]

This is absolutely false, getting more revenue when purchase is made from adsense.

There are many keywords for which people are geeting nearly double of what your friend just claimed.

Though I don`t think it would be appropriate for me to disclose such high bid keywords here.

[deepesh]

BTW nandini why do u think men have no MIND :confused: :(

[Quadrille]

That guy claims he received 29$ dollars for a single-click, i know that was rubbishDeepesh, as has been said, it's not appropriate to discuss such details here (see the first post in this thread).

Particularly as you don't know what he received - or what it's possible to receive. Stick with adsense, and read your reports carefully; you may be surprised.

For now, best to take up the dispute with him by email - even that breaks the TOS, but at least it ain't 'public' ;)

I don't use AdSence. I know a few people that do and they are very satisfied with the income generated.

I have no idea about how Google charges their advitisors. I have no idea how they pay for AdSense clicks.

I can tell you what I see in the Pay per click forums. There are some terms in the leagal profession that pay per click advitosors pay around $100.00 per click to be number 1.

I know knothing about you or the site you are refering to. If the site is targeted for the right key words I can see how they might get a large amount per click.

On the other hand that person may only be getting 1 or 2 clicks per month.

He's bragging about how much he gets per click. That figure may be correct.

You may be making more money with a .10 word because of the volume of clicks.

Then again the guy may simply be a bragger and liar.

Take eveything with a grain of salt.

I know only that I struggled along for three years with a reasonable amount of visitors to my site. I have had all sorts of affiliate programs sticking all sorts of wierd and wondreful banners and such all over my site with promises of millions of dollars to be made.

I never saw i red cent. Or a cent of any other colour either for that matter.

When I first tried to get Google to advertise on my site they rejected it because it had my biography in it, which had some strong language in it.

I later tried some other advertising PPC services. still with no results.

I determined that the website needed to make me some pocket money, or I would have to close it down for the want of the fees for the host and ISP. So I revised the biography a little and finally got Google to use my site.

I was almost immediately rewarded with a great financial report.

I definitely would not trust my site to any other advertisements, they are full of unpaying promises. But Google are great!

[Quadrille]

They are good, and I trust them, too - and I've been cheated by a few programs, before I learned what a dangerous place the web is!

I was interested to hear your experience with the strong language; most of Google's TOS are conditions that the algo can be tweaked to check up on; but once you are compliant, it's a happy arrangement.

Now you just have experiment with formats and positions ...

[JustinofOz]

Hello Quadrille. Yes they are trustworthy. I have a friend in London who is doing well with them and if he trusts them, then that's good enough for me.

I haven't got round to doing any tweaking yet. I have to create some channels and see where it leads. But I must say that I have seen results in five days that I didn't see in three years.

The problems with affiliate programs are a thing of the past as far as I am concerned. They simply don't work. Bit like starting at the bottom of the heap with Amway or Renaware. The guy at the top makes all the money and none of it dribbles down to the stooge at the bottom.

[1ucaswalker]

that makes sense

[Connie]

Hi 1ucas and welcome to IHY! :hi:

[nitewing2]

I understand that you can now discuss how much is earned, at least that is what they are doing on WW.....

I use adsense as well as others, all eggs in diverse baskets..;)
and I can truthfully say I have doubled my ad income...YEA GOOGLE!!!
:cheers:

BTW: if you use adsense be sure to ALWAYS wear your white hats!

[ihelpyou]

What's a "WW" and why is that important?

We are IHY, and 'are' important, so we don't discuss monies earned from Google in here. :)

[nitewing2]

Sheeesh...

I was only posting a short, I thought relevant happening.

this from Googles services contract: (c) any other information designated in writing by Google as "Confidential" or an equivalent designation. However, You may accurately disclose the amount of Google’s gross payments to You......



Sorry Doug, I am much too weak to argue so I will toddle on.

[spectregunner]

So, is adsense a potential revenues source for a specialized informational website that has a fair amount of traffic?

I have a hard time imagining who would want my visitors to click through.

And, does the banner always have to be on the first page of the website, or can I use it in deeper pages.

[chrishirst]

It can be, especially in a niche market and it can be on any page or every page if you wish.

Thanx for this information I search about “Ad sense” in long time.

[link drops removed]

[Jeffmakepeace]

Do not try to change/modify the adsense code, otherwise your adsense account will be blocked forever.
Google adsense is the way to generate money online. You can get valid clicks only through the articles, blogs, news articles. In fact, social network websites do not provide more hits and click on your website adsense link. You can get only traffic.

[ihelpyou]

Welcome Jeff! :hi:

[ajcones]

That's true. Even if a single word or you omit the word "Ads by Google". Google have the right to ban your account forever.

[leahmarie]

That's true. Even if a single word or you omit the word "Ads by Google". Google have the right to ban your account forever.

So we have to be cautious on making ads in adsense. And be more specific on how you can target your market community.

[samflutch123]

Every now and then, we update the AdSense Terms and Conditions to make sure they're in line with policies across Google, and to prepare for future changes to the products and services we offer. As part of these regular updates, you'll soon sign in to your account and see that the Terms have been updated, prompting you to read through and accept them.

This time around, most of the changes to the Terms and Conditions fall into two broad categories: 1) future products and features and 2) privacy requirements. Specifically, one of the main changes is that the terms anticipate future products that may become available in other advertising formats and mediums, for example Gadget Ads. As we look forward to monetizing more online and offline content, we've re-worded some portions of the terms to make them applicable across a broader array of media and formats -- anticipating, for example, that future products may be priced, paid, or managed differently than current ones.

You update the Adsense Terms and Conditions ?

So you work for Google ?
That's nice Sam, but your signature shows something else :)
Why's that ?

Anyway, no signatures allowed in here !

I removed your links. Read the forum guidelines (http://www.ihelpyou.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18677).

If you want to learn and contribute you are welcome at IHY. If you only want to post links you will soon be banned.

[Sheraz]

Thanks admin to start at least this topic and provide that much information. can you tell me how can i go for PPC on my site?

[Removed several links]

[Connie]

If you not a bot you are a real dumb ass to post so many links. Especially when my post above was in regard to the forum guidelines.

Normally we give new posters a couple of times before they are banned for dropping links. I made an exception in your case.
