Thanks Lisa! One more question. I wrote up my policy…but don’t know where to place it without it showing up in feeds. Help.

Hi L.J. Yes you can. I have been using AdSense with my affiliate programs for years with no problem.

I’ve read the Adsense Terms…and can honestly say that I’m still a little confused. So can I use Adsense with my affiliate links that are not pay per click?

I got an email from google today saying I did that. I don’t know what I am doing. I don’t know if it was when posting. How do you post to your own blog=stupid I know. I am a GOD fearing man and very ethical. I am basically getting my blog setup and website which doesn’t look to good. HELP PLEASE. And how do you contact google.

You got a point there. I clicked on my google ad accidently once and lived in a constant fear if my earnings would be declined till i saw the posting of my payment link in adsense. That click only earned me .01 but gave me nightmares. I guess google can understand an accidental click from click fraud.

This is a very informative article for newbies who normally don’t bother reading the TOS.

Thanks a lot Lisa. I didn’t know all that. Now I am prepared when I am ready to put up adsense on my site.

Hi Lisa, thank you for this post. This is one of the reasons that I feel so uneasy using Adsense sometimes, because there isn’t really a way to protect yourself against competitors, nasty boys/girls, etc. Scary!

I currently own about 7 or so websites, and only run Adsense on three of them. For the next sites that I build with be without Adsense from now on until/unless they figure out a way to just ignore invalid clicks, instead of punishing innocent publishers.

There are affiliates out there who earn 6-figure incomes via their websites without Adense, which is comforting to me!

Hey Johnny, this is the first rule of engagement when it comes to obey Google’s policies: You should not click on your own Adsense links. Every time you click an Adsense link, is making an advertiser wastes his/her ad dollars. Great advices Lisa. Thanks!
