If you are new to Internet marketing and earning and have heard about contextual advertisement but don’t know what it is then this post is for you.

About Contextual Advertisement

In simple term, Contextual advertisement display ads related to Website content. Contextual advertisement is useful for both advertiser and publishers. If you Website, product or service is targeted to sports product then you probable want to advertise on those Website which are related to sports not on those Website which are related to fishing.

By this way visitors to sports Website sees your advertisement then it is more possible that he will click on that ad and come to your Website for your product and services. If there are ads on any other topics then visitors to sports Website may not click on that ad as he is not interested on those topics.

How my Google AdSense account was Disabled and Reinstate

Ravi Ahuja — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:46:02 +0000

In this post I am sharing my experience what I faced with Google AdSense when they disabled my account and how I reinstate my account. Yes its real story.

Google AdSense account disabled

I was earning as good as you with Google AdSense and I am happy with my earning but one day I got a mail from Google AdSense that your account is disabled because of invalid click.Invalid click I have not clicked on my ads how can Google disable my account, what about my earning, I got cheated Google can’t do so I will see them, this is unfair.

How my AdSense account was Reinstate

As I told my account was disabled by Google.

I thought Google don’t want me to earn. They war unhappy by clicks I was getting. I quickly appeal for my disabled account without much information provided to Google AdSense and I do not got any response in 3-4 days and I thought I have loosed my money but I asked my self what went wrong when I have not clicked on my ads..

After some deep thinking what could be went wrong I thought I got the reason why Google AdSense was feeling about invalid click and I re appealed for my disabled account I write to them:

There can be few reasons which look like invalid click on my site.
If you feel that most of the clicks come within an hour then there is a reason, one of my AdWords campaign starts at 5 PM (this campaign is running from more then 6 months) and that campaign bring more then 150 visitor at a time so most of the clicks and impressions come at that time which can looks like click fraud but I can show you the proof of my campaigns and if you do not trust me then I will try asking Google AdWord team to send you the data of my campaigns.
I track my earnings and spending (on advertisement) daily and I had not found any earning growth till 20 May 2007. If invalid clicks are found on 21 May 2007 then the only reason can be that some one (my rivals or any crazy guy) wants me to get out from Adsense program. Please try to understand there is no source of getting to know who made invalid click on my site and you do not provide us the data so it is very difficult to know who have made invalid click.

I am working with Adsense from more then a year but I have never click on the ads on my site. I am totally aware of Terms and Condition and Program Policy of Google AdSense program.

If you have found any invalid activity on any day then I am not interested for that days earning but when I have not done any thing wrong then I request you to look after my problem. I am ready to answer any of your questions; I am ready to meet Adsense team or can talk to you regarding this problem.

After two day I got the mail from Google AdSense:

Hello,

As you know, Google treats instances of invalid click activity very seriously. We have reviewed your circumstances and have reinstated your account, effective immediately. However, there will be a delay before ads start running on your website. It may take up to 48 hours before all of our servers are informed of the change.

Thank you for clarifying your situation. We appreciate your patience, and apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to respond to this email.

For your reference, you can find tips and guidelines for keeping your account in good standing by visiting our Help Center at https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23921
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team

So that’s how my Google AdSense account was reinstated.

I just want to say if you are not doing any invalid activity with Google AdSense program and your account is disabled then first look after what went wrong, what can be done after clearing your view then appeal for disabled account with as much as possible information which can proof you right.

Happy earning

AdSense Publisher Account Type

Ravi Ahuja — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:58:20 +0000

Today millions of websites are using AdSense to monetize there website. There are many small publishers and few big publishers. Why I am saying small publisher? There are few publishers who are earning thousands of dollars per month with AdSense. There minimum AdSense earning are 10,000+ per month and they get many extra benefit from AdSense.

There are mainly two types of publisher account normal publisher and premium publisher. Normal publisher do not get special privilege like premium publisher. Normal publishers get preset ad style while premium publisher get advantage of customizing ads size and view style other than this premium publisher get some more advantages.

Premium Ad Example:

First to be a premium publisher there are some criteria. When your site maintains those criteria you can apply for premium publisher account but mostly Google sends invitation to join premium publisher account who reaches premium publisher requirement criteria.

Eligibility for Premium Publisher

If a site is getting 5 million search query or 20 million page views per month then they can apply for premium publisher.

Premium publishers get some premium benefits which also help them to increase their earnings. Some of the benefits are:

Ad customization has no limit for premium publishers. They are not restricted to limited or pre set ad format. They can create ad of any size, they can change ads font style and size. Not just that they get lot of other style option which can be changed my CSS or JavaScript.

Premium publisher get dedicated account manager who help them to solve their queries or problems by phone. They don’t have to wait long to get answers.

Premium Ad Example:

They can negotiate revenue share with Google.
They can place their ads on Adult and gambling site.
They can place more than 3 ad units on a page and much more.
There is no such thing like “Ads by Google” on their ads.
There are premium AdSense publishers like About.com, Downloads.com, and Ask.com etc.

There are some big publishers who get many extra benefits than normal publishers like they can change font style and can customize ads size but they say that they are not a premium publisher. Those publishers get some extra benefits but their ads are with “Ads by Google” on it while some premium publishers don’t have such thing on their ads.

If you are a normal publisher but you are running a web company for your site and have 20 or more employs you can change your account from Individual to Business account. There is no difference in individual and business account. Business account payments are send on Company name, while individuals payments are send on the name of account holder.
