If like me, you’re hoping to earn an income with your blog, Google Adsense could be a significant contributor to that income. Because it’s not easy to get Google Adsense approval you want to ensure you don’t make the following Google Adsense Mistakes.
Google Adsense Mistakes To Avoid
It’s important to know Google is a bit of a puritan, as least as long as their advertisers are concerned. You, therefore, do not want to post anything that Google thinks will upset their advertisers.
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I own many blogs, and over the years, I’ve managed to piss Google enough to lose Adsense on those blogs.
Nudity And Scantily Clad Women
Take my Hot Sports Babes category, for example; I would never have thought that posting those images of sometimes scantily clad women would cause Google to ban Adsense on that blog. 😳 I can understand why they wouldn’t approve nudity but tasteful pictures of scantily dressed women? Oh well, I know to keep away from posting those sorts of images.
Profanity
I used to have a blog called LoadOfBullshit.com, which used to have Adsense for ages. I reckon someone must have complained because Google banned that site because of its name. The same thing happened to me on my YouTube channel. A monetised video would suddenly lose its monetisation because of a complaint, usually, because I may have used a little profanity.
Hi there,
I have not tried Google Adsense – I’ve read it slows your site down and most say they don’t make any $$$ from it. I understand why Google bans stuff and how they can issue manual penalties but can you elaborate on how you’ve used Adsense to monetize your sites? Thanks, Nikki
I have noticed that Adsense slows it down a little as it is reported as such when using Google’s Page Speed Insight. I’m sure that Google would make allowances for that.
