Caught in the Google Adsense Trap

I've had a lot of online friends and others, complain that they were banned from Adsense. Now I know some people will start saying that we can't blame Adsense and if these friends did what they were told, they would not have been banned. Well, the truth is, you do not always have to do something wrong to get kicked out of the Adsense system. One friend developed an online stalker who followed their online profiles and purposely destroyed their Adsense account and article directory for the sheer joy of it.

My problem with Adsense is that people have to realize that it is not the end of the world. In a previous post, Live and Learn From Online Scams and Defunct Sites, I talked about writers who need to diversify, I talked about making sure to write or work at more than one different online company. Well, the same is true when you are dealing with affiliates and ad networks. Try multiple streams of revenue. If Google Adsense bans you, then you have other ways to make money from your website or blog.

You should never get caught just using one program to monetize your blog. Adsense is great, but what most overlook is the fact that another PPC or Ad network may work better for their site. Ask anyone webmaster who is doing well and they will tell you that all of their money is not coming from Adsense.

So try Adsense for a month and see how much you make. The next month, try another PPC program like Yahoo! YPN and see how they work for your website, you may be surprised.

Don't forget to implement the use of affiliate programs as they rake in millions in revenue for blogs and other sites.

When you have a blog that is high in traffic, offer advertising directly from your blog and cut out the middlemen.

There are thousands of ways to monetize your blog, getting banned from Google Adsense can be hard to take but remember that it is not the end of the world, and it can force you to realize that you may have been losing money by sticking to one Advertiser.
