    Default Can I Ask Users to Click on my Adsense Ads?

    I have built a free resource website with alot of information about different topics and I happen to have Google Adsense on my site. My question is - can I say: "If you feel this information was useful, please consider making a donation by clicking on an advert on the side panel"

    Because "Donate" buttons never seem to work well.

    I know Google has a policy against giving your users an incentive to click on ads...is this the same??

    Yes. You cannot ask users to click on your Adsense advertisements.

    Of course it is.
    AdSense accounts are tricky to get back once you're banned. If you did this you would definitely get banned eventually.

    You'll get banned quickly if you do this.

    Google AdSense require that the ads aren't "pointed to" in any-way.

    That is not a good idea google it will cancel you account. if you trying to get more clicks try to experiment with the layout of site or blog.

    Nope. You cannot ask/provide an incentive for clicking ads otherwise they will find out and remove your account.

    In my experience donate buttons work quite well (obviously depending on what it is...usually people won't donate for information, but usually people will donate if you are providing a service for free - e.g. giving layouts for free, making a plugin/software/script/whatever, etc.). I used to earn a nice little amount from donations for the amount of work I put into certain sites (well, the initial work was quite a lot, but I received quite a few donations once it got going).

    ps some ad networks allow asking people to do something to earn you money. e.g. affiliate ad networks (you could ask them to support you by signing up to offers, or whatever you can find affiliate ads for).

    No, no, no! It's specifically against the rules to encourage visitors to click your ads.

    Just don't do it. AdSense and Google stuff in general works best when it happens organically. They kind of make everything that way.

    Don't force or convinced anyone to click your adsense ads if you want regular visitors.

    Clicking on an advert is not making a donation. The clicker is not the donor. The donor would be someone who paid money to advertise their site/products via google adsense.

    I disagree.:smartass: You can ask someone to go and steal something from a shop for you. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean you can't ask.

    Its hard to asked someone click your adsense account coz it may cost your adsense account so rather than doing it just improve your contents and create interesting topic so you can gain enough traffic and who knows they might click your ads too

    You can ask your users to click. But it should happen only one time. If they do regularly, sure your account will be close.

    Thanks

    I've just seen someone with 8,000+ posts at the pit give someone duff information about AdSense and Wordpress.com.

    The only things you can put near adverts are "Sponsored links" (or similar) according to the TOS. Anything else (e.g. "Favourite sites") is against the terms
