Are you looking out to earn a good income with the Google AdSense program? You’ll need to have your own AdSense account before you start playing the game, so if you haven’t got one yet, check out the article below to learn what all you should keep in mind when applying for one …
Professional Website Design: How your website or blog looks and feels is important to take into consideration before you apply for AdSense. Some will say looks aren’t important but when it comes to AdSense approval, looks matter. Blogs and sites that have themes or templates that look professional are viewed more favorably by those doing the reviewing for AdSense. You may not even be able to save your site from the disapproval of AdSense reviewers with killer content if the look of the site is childish or unprofessional. The design of the website and its content need to be completely focused and professional if you’re hoping to get favorable attention from AdSense. The powers that be at Google know that allowing AdSense on a site provides that site with some sort of approval from them and aren’t going to give this away to every site that comes asking.
Privacy Policy: We all know that Google requires you to have your privacy policy on your website in order to get indexed and ranked. But, most people do not realize that it is needed when you are applying for AdSense too. Google takes privacy very seriously and wants its publishers to do the same. If your website fails to have a privacy policy, you should place one on your site before you apply to Google AdSense. In this modern day and time, there are numerous issues that arise because they are connected with privacy. In order to stay away from them and let Google see that you are very serious, place a privacy policy on your website.
Your site absolutely must be simple to navigate around if you hope to have fast approval from AdSense. The reviewers will pay a visit to your site and they need to be able to move around easily. This needs to be a priority for you for the sake of your approval.
Make sure your website has a proper site map and also try to have a strong internal linking structure as it will make a good impression when they check on your site. Your site is much more likely to be approved for AdSense if you’ve gone out of your way to make it easy to view your sites for your readers.
Building a strong business with AdSense is possible, and there are examples of people even making a six figure income with the program. With this kind of potential it’s time for you to get busy doing what you need to do to get your account approved. Once you’re approved all that remains is for you to take action consistently.
Simple Google AdSense Mistakes To Avoid Making
In terms of website monetization, Google Adsense has become the most often chosen method by Internet marketers and webmasters. The reason Google’s advertising program is so popular is that it is easy to implement and very easy to use.
However, in order to succeed with AdSense one has to understand the rules that are set out by Google. 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. If you go outside of the boundaries you put your AdSense account at risk. The following examples are things that you should not ever do.
One of the first and most dire mistakes made is masking of ad elements. In other words you are given the freedom to alter the colors of your ad and change the border to make your ad blend in according to your site design. But taking this too far would definitely be a mistake. Some site masters go so far with this that they change the URL color to match the background of the rest of the site. While it is absolutely a good idea to blend your ad into the rest of your site, hiding the URL on the ad is very much against program rules. Besides that, you should also make sure that your ads are visible and are not overlapped by images or tables. If you do this you will make sure that you are following the rules and that more people actually click through your ads which equals making more money. Displaying adjacent images is hard and confusing for most site traffic. 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. Even putting in a line or space between your ads is against the rules. You need to take steps to ensure that your images and ads aren’t arranged in any way that could potentially confuse or mislead a site visitor. Avoiding little mistakes like these can do a lot to make sure that you stay in good standing with Google and that your account doesn’t get banned.
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 face it; advertisers are paying money to display ads on pages that have targeted content. This is because good content will obviously lead to better ads.
Unless (and until) your page has good content on it, don’t put your ads up.
Just remember the best approach is to learn their TOS and adhere to their polcicies. It’s not hard to learn what to do and not do, so once you’re familiar then just keep going.
