You will hear from many successful internet marketers that Google AdSense is an excellent program for generating revenue for your website with little effort and maintenance. Profiting from Google AdSense can be easy if you know and comply fully with AdSense terms of service, and avoid common AdSense website mishaps and problems.

Here are the top 5 AdSense mistakes made by web publishers:

#1. Knowledge of AdSense Terms of Service

Knowledge of AdSense terms of service is where many new to publishing and advertising on the Internet make their first serious AdSense mistakes so we have rated it as number 1 in our list of the top 5 mistakes AdSense Publishers make.

Many apply and have AdSense ads on their sites without actually reading the terms of service refer to it as TOS. Be knowledgeable and change your sites as required to ensure you are in compliance to maintain AdSense membership and income potential.

#2. Solicit Clicks

Another one of the terrible sins under AdSense mistakes is for you to click on one of the ads placed on your site. As well, you cannot promote or solicit clicks from others, use automated tools or software designed to click on ads. Fraudulent clicks are strictly prohibited. Google investigates clicks and those suspicious can result in no money and a lifetime ban. Occasionally, someone may illegally click your ads to get you banned. Report immediately and consider temporarily disabling the AdSense ads until Google has researched the AdSense problems and you have been cleared of any negligence. If you must check the ads appearing on your site, use the Google Preview Tool. 

#3. Change the AdSense Code

You do have options with optimizing and customizing your AdSense ads. Many feel that placement of AdSense ads is critical to success. You also must adhere to the number of AdSense ads you can place on your site. 

#4. Multiple Google AdSense Accounts

 Only one AdSense account per individual or business entity is allowed. Google AdSense accounts are not transferable, assignable or resalable.

#5. Placing Ads on Content and Other Web Pages

Here is another common mistake that many AdSense publishers make. Google does not accept about me websites, disorganized sites such as those with broken links, or sites which do not have enough original content. Content pages should contain "keywords" related to the theme of your website. These keywords are what will drive visitors to your site, read your information and interest the visitor in clicking on one of the related AdSense ads. Content pages are not welcome or thank you pages, login registrations, gateways, emails, or pop-ups. If in doubt, do not put the AdSense code on the page.

As well, you cannot place your images next to ads which could mislead or confuse visitors or block the visibility of the AdSense ads with pop-ups for example. There are alternatives to Google AdSense which can also generate income for your sites.
