If you are into websites or blogging, you must have heard about Adsense unless you were living under the rock. And if you are using adsense ppc ads, you definitely know about how so many people get banned by Adsense everyday.

There is hardly anyone using adsense, who doesn’t have a fear of loosing his/her account, including me. I have heard so many stories on webmaster forums, where people come up everyday claiming that they were banned by Adsense. Some claim they didn’t do anything wrong, and didn’t break any TOS, some agree that yes they were stupid enough to like clicking on their own ads, to earn quick money.

People doing things wrong and getting banned seems fair enough, but people who claim that they were right all along but still were banned puts a insecurity in everyone’s mind.

So what could have happen, which led to the “fair/right” people account getting banned, well only thing which comes to my mind is click bombing, where someone who wants to harm you personally will continuously click on the ads which may lead to problems with adsense and hence a possible ban.

But I really don’t think adsense people will just jump to the point, that all the way you were doing fine, but one day you wake up, and start clicking mindlessly on your ads. There must be something else also, some logic which is not known to anyone else.

So, what can one do to save yourself from getting banned, well

1. Follow the Adsense TOS religiously.

2. Don’t brag too much about your “$100″ per day earnings, if they are totally dependent on adsense. In the worst case scenario it may very well create jealousy among your competitor and result in a possible click bombing.

3. Don’t try to be a web police of sorts, telling everyone in the forum how a person is breaching adsense tos and displaying illegal content on his/her website. Its not your job, if he/she is doing something wrong, their adsense account will be eventually banned. But that person may be very well get offended and may cause harm to your website.

Well these all things i follow as of now(2nd one is not applicable to me still ). And i really hope google/adsense should come with something, to save their publishers.
