Sincere advise on how NOT to get your adsense account disabled

I am not writing this to get sympathy. I am writing this so that someone else who is new to adsense, blogging and hubpages might not make the same mistakes I did. My account has been disabled with adsense. I did contact them and lost my appeal. It is too late for me, but not for you. I am also not writing this out of any anger or maliciousness, it is only meant to inform. Adsense ads do still appear on my hubpages, but I do not generate any income from them at all. I haven't yet figured out why they are still on my hubpages, they do not appear on any of my blogs.

About a month ago my husband found an ad on-line for me about working from home. I am home right now with an injured knee and am willing to try anything. I love to be on the computer so I thought it was worth a try. I started by setting up 3 blogs, one for my dog, one for recipes and cooking, and one for my husband who is on kidney dialysis. After that I discovered Hubpages and began writing hubs. Next I applied to adsense and was approved and my journey begins. I was full of hope and excitement. The rest of the story I won't drag out, except to say that 3 weeks later I received an e-mail from adsense telling me my account was disabled. Adsense doesn't give you a lot of reason why, even in the appeal so:

The mistakes that were made in my opinion:

1. Don't check your blogs and adsense account too often. I was excited at first and went to my pages several times a day. I would get ideas and go to change the look of my blog. I was and still am new to it all and was trying to improve and learn. I was also excited to check my adsense earnings. I know I probably did this way too much and this may have hurt me in the long run. This probably wasn't the reason but it just my thoughts on things that could have hurt me in the long run.

2. This is a biggie and everyone should know this but NEVER CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. This I honestly never did and I know this but if I hadn't really read the rules I may not have known this and it can't hurt to repeat it. Don't click on your own ads ever!

3. Don't encourage anyone to click on your ads. This may have been my downfall. Yes I admit it, my husband and daughter were going onto my blogs at their work and sometimes clicking on my ads. They didn't do it excessively but it is wrong, DON'T DO IT. You cannot ask anyone to click on your ads and trust me on this one, adsense will find out somehow. They want people to come to your pages and click because they are interested, not because they are trying to help you make money. I do understand this. I was wrong.

4. Here is another area I think I made some mistakes. As a newbie on blogs I would go to other blogs, join and ask them to visit my room. This in itself is ok I think. Many of the blogs I visited were people like me trying to work from home and several of them had it printed in the blogs to please click on my ads while you are here. I never put in print to click on ads on my blog and neither should you. In some cases they would write entries encouraging you to click on their ads. I kept up with these blogs and then began thinking well if they are doing it, maybe its ok. I would then go to the rooms I was visiting and never using the word "click" would encourage people to come and "kiss" my blogs on their way out. I thought I was being clever, but again, THIS IS WRONG. Do not ask for clicks in any way, shape or form, EVER. Adsense is always watching. I am not blaming any of the other people, I made my own mistakes. But honestly if you come upon a blog where someone is asking for clicks I would suggest you just stay away from those blogs, so you are not tempted. One of the comments adsense made to me in the e-mail was that they read my feedback and apparently they didn't like something there, although I can't imagine what because I have always had positive feedback. I did have other bloggers asking me to click, click on their ads in my feedback, I think this might have hurt me, although you can't control what others write in feedback. Again I wish adsense would have been more specific in their reasoning .

This is a constant learning process for me. I am now utilizing Amazon and Kontera and trying other methods. I am not giving up, I love writing. I especially enjoy the new friendships I have made on my blogs and hubs. It has been overall a great experience and I don't regret it. I just wish that maybe adsense could have a little more of a warning system before they cut you off completely, and a better explanation so that you don't make the mistakes again. All I would have needed was a warning and believe me I would have complied and learned from it. Oh well still no regrets. I was up to just over $60.00 in 3 weeks and in that time my husband was off work for a week and a half of it and my daughter was off as well. So I would like to think that most of the income was genuine but of course I will never know. However once they disable your account, you loose all the earnings you have accumulated and get nothing. Please learn from me and I wish you well in all your work at home attempts.
