your account
if you do not follow their rules. Their rules include things like
you may not click the links on your own site yourself, or write
a program that generate false clicks, there must be useful content
on the page where you display the Adsense ad, you may not ask
your visitors to click the links in order to support you, etc,
etc. This is also where ethics comes in. Remember that the big
advertisers will only keep on using Adwords to advertise if they
get good results. If all the Adsense publishers start to generate
false clicks, the advertisers will stop advertising because they
do not get results. If they stop advertising we all loose an income.
If
you apply this correctly, Google Adsense can be one of your biggest
income streams which will generate a 24 hour per day income for
you.
You
can also combine Adsense with affiliate programs. On some web
pages I created a page where I market a product using one of the
affiliate programs mentioned above. I place affiliate links and
product banners on the page. All these links I select to be opened
in a new window. I also place some Google Adsense ads on the web
site. The visitor lands on the page, perhaps click one of the
affiliate banner. A new window opens, he looks at the offer, and
he either buys or not buys and closes the window. He finished
his business on the affiliate web site and closed the window.
Now my web page is still open in the previous window. After he
looked at the offer he will be looking for the next information
and there my web site with the relevant Adsense Ads is still open
in front of him. So this time he might click one of the Adsense
ads. Sometimes you are lucky that the client buys the product
you referred him to via the affiliate link and when he comes back
also click an Adsense ad. Thus you earn twice with one visitor.
