Adsense Rules?

**Purple Rain** · Nov 4th, 2008, 12:52 pm

I have finally decided to use Google Adsense instead of Adbrite which I have always used. I keep getting Porn ads on all of my sites and most of the ads are just trash, they don't seem to moderate their adverts very well.

I know a lot of the general basics for adwords, i.e. don't click on your own ads, don't have incentives to click on the ads etc... But is their anything else really important that I should be aware of before using Adnsense? I don't fancy dedicating 6 hours to reading their terms and conditions :3079:

I think just stick with these two rules and you will be alright.

Oh yes, I would also suggest to not buy traffic or any robots kind of thing to increase no. of impressions for adsense. Just let visitors click them on their own and get your site visited by real people.

Good luck

Not sure all you know, do you know you can only have something like 3 regular ads and 2 link units per page?

I know that you can only have 3 ads per page. What are link units? Perhaps I should read up on this.... that's why I used to like adbrite so much. So simple.

Yeah, it's best to go look at the type of ads as I can't really explain a link unit.

Some people swear by link units but my vision completely misses them i never notice them half the time.

My link units do better than anything else, but this isn't about link units.

It won't take you six hours, lazy

You need a privacy policy on your site for another thing.

You can have 3 regular ads and 3 link units per page. Link units can be good depending on where you place them.
You will also need to have a privacy policy on your site and then link to it from every page that has Google ads on it. Most everything else is just common sense stuff.
The ads are driven by keywords or phrases. You can check here for profitable keywords.

This is the place where I had my privacy policy made. Works really well!
