Many bloggers said that as their sites are banned by Google Adsense, it will be very difficult to get reinstated (the percent of success is only 1%). So you have to be very careful and follow strictly the Google Adsense’s Terms of Services. Firstly you should read Adsense Help, this material covers almost all things you should know when using Adsense. In this article, I will provide some advices from my own experience to prevent Adsense ban.
1. Don’t click on your own ads, and also don’t encourage your friends or your visitors to click on them. However, it is OK if you click on your ads by accident because according to Google Team, infrequent accidental clicks will not get you into trouble.
Sometimes, you may be sabotaged. You should check your Adsense status frequently to discover it. Some people can use a third party application to create a series of invalid clicks with purpose of getting your site banned. If you notice any suspicious clicks of this nature, Google Adsense encourages you to report it to them and remove this ad immediately.
2. Don’t publicize your Adsense’s earning information. If you want to publish it, don’t expose detailed information including your Adsense account, CTR, eCPM, number of clicks, and exact earnings numbers.
3. Do not make any changes in your Adsense code. Go to Manage Ads section in you account if you want to change your Ads’ settings, don’t do it manually.
4. Avoid insertion of AdSense code on your pages containing ads from Google’s competitors as, for example, Yahoo Publishers Network, Adbrite…
5. Don’t use any traffic exchange to boost your site’s traffic. Traffic generated from these programs is not considered as real for AdSense, and might be a reason for the ban.
6. Never place Adsense Ads on pages containing copyrighted materials without permission. Note – copyright laws applies to videos, including embedded youTube videos, as well as text and images. Based on youTube’s policy, you should first get permission from the content owners before embedding their video into your online articles or website.
7. Never use multiple Adsense accounts. Google allows only one Adsense account per person or entity.
8. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content. This screenshot shows an implementation that does not follow this rule.

Great list and solid info. I’ve been using adsense for years and didn’t know some of them.
That said, I think some of them stink, like Google’s desire to control use of competition. X-(

They are only the most important rules. I spent time to read hundreds of their rules but still afraid that my account will be banned without warning (as many people said).
btw, why did you remove adsense from your page?
first visit here..notice your post at blogengage..
good point there. I add more, don’t go for black-hat SEO
Welcome, Fazreen!
Thank to you, now I know what black-hat SEO is
The only rule I knew was “be honest”. You have made them more concrete. Thanks for this nice ans sweet post.
I’m using Adsense for the last few years and the bell of ‘bann’ rings on every step I wish to take. I feel, Google might ban me so I should not get traffic. Funny enough! but real. The threat of getting banned is always hanging just above the forehead. It has became like death, nobody knows when it comes – an ultimate destiny.
I know but I don’t like the “Don’ts” for getting traffic. Don’t exchange traffic, don’t exchange links, don’t buy ppc, don’t do anything. Only you are allowed is to pay to Adwords?

By the way, regarding your rule no 7, do you have any idea if we can have two accounts for two members of my family. I and my brother live in same house but earn different and spend different and both of us would like to use Adsense, will Google ban me if he joins Adsense?
Suresh Khanal´s last blog ..Not in USA or Canada? Don’t Click Those Ads, They Are for USA.
No, you can’t have 2 adsense accounts with the same address. It is against Google tos and policies. Both 2 accounts will be banned.
you are right adsense can give you great income but you should not violate its rules
aayush´s last blog ..
would it be fine if i publicize my page on facebook??
No problem, my friend.
On the contrary, Facebook is an excellent social network that you can make use of to increase your site’s popularity.
About rule number 5 – do not use traffic exchange together with adsense. WHAT about pages of our sites that do not contain adsense on them ? Still prohibited ?
Of course not, this rule is only applied for pages that you put Adsense on. You can use traffic exchange services for other pages on the same site.
