Wordpress Blogging Mastery Malaysia

Whenever I provide information about Google Adsense in my Wordpress Blogging seminars, many of the attendees draws a blank when I ask them how much they know about Google Adsense program policies.

So I took some time off to write a short Summary on Google Adsense policies here for the benefit of my students and attendees.

Google Adsense starts off the first paragraph with this - If you fail to comply with these policies, we may disable ad serving to your site and/or disable your AdSense account.

Invalid Clicks and Impressions

• Google reserve the right to disable any account at any time.
• If your account is disabled, you will not be eligible for further participation in the AdSense program.
• Please note that we may change our policies at any time, and pursuant to our Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to keep up to date with and adhere to the policies posted here.

Encouraging Clicks

• Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest.
• Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited.
• May not encourage users to click the Google ads by using phrases such as “click the ads,” “support us,” “visit these links,” or other similar language.
• May not place misleading labels above Google ad units - for instance, ads may be labeled “Sponsored Links” but not “Favorite Sites”.

Site and Ad Behavior

• Sites showing Google ads may not contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation, change user preferences, or initiate downloads.
• Any AdSense code must be pasted directly into webpages without modification.

Ad Placement

• Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page.
• A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.
• Up to three link units may also be placed on each page.
