Adsense and faucets?

[asztar7]

Hi, I have been reading a lot about people getting banned on adsense due to putting adsense ad. What are your insights?
Freebitco.in is running the adsense for at least a year as I remember, and they do not get banned....

Google Adsense is very smart, it also keep tracks of the time the user spent on the site, I think. So if the user spent a very short time on that site, lets say 5 seconds, but clicked on the ad, chances are that the ad was not clicked on interest. This may result in invalid clicks, and later to a ban.

Freebitcoin does not ask people to click on its ads, so adsense works out for that site. Like they warned, do not ever ask people to click on your ads. Adsense does not ban users for no reason so if you use it the normal way, it will payout just fine.

I have never asked people to click on ads That is a good response I think. I have also google analytics enabled so I can see people are actually spending 2 minutes on average (I do not know why lol , as I do not force any waiting period or anything)

Hmm, may I know what is your site? If it is a bitcoin faucet/earning site, I think 2 minutes is very long, thats good. Otherwise for 2 minutes you must have quite some content there that catches the readers' eyes. It would be better if by chance/luck your ads displayed there are related to your content a lot. So you have a site that has adsense and I assume its still active?

If you depend solely on adsense and want to play safe, maybe you can add a few more ads from other companies. But all in all if all the impressions and clicks are real it should be just fine.

my webpage is http://faucet.dsgnrt.net
I have other adverts, but all the other systems (I guess 5? different ones) do provide in total much less than adsense alone

I really do not know what keep people staying on the page though....
I just copied some standard bitcoin description text, and put links to other faucets

AdSense don't have any problems with faucets. Just beginners think that they can put 5 ads on page - that is mistake (it is possible but that is wrong) You can have only three ads. Of course any other tricks will bring you to get banned sooner or later..

I do have the same opinion: Adsense is okay as long as you follow all T&C and don't manipulate clicks/traffic.

There is an increasing number of advertisers in the BTC niche and I'm sure Google is aware of that. It's a win-win for everyone.

How about buying clicks ?, any thought ?, In Fiverr I saw someone is selling 40 USA Clicks for adsense ads for $5, I am interested with this service but i am worry  google will notice this and ban my account.

Well, this has been discussed all over the internet.
Google has a team consisting of most advanced people in the world who work on this department. They are aware of anything, they never offer info on how their automated systems work and often change their algorithms .

Each and every click is passed through a series of filters to ensure it is valid. Among the filters, they detect all PC information (O.S, browser, IP, browser etc). Besides this, they detect how a visitor reaches a website (through a search engine, referred from another site etc) and measure time spent on publisher's website before clicking any ads and after clicking an ad.

Also, beside these automated filters and scripts, they have a dedicated team to manually verify clicks at any time they find anything suspicious.

Google somehow is the boss.

So, although you may earn something from those paid clicking services, sooner or later you will banned and may not be worth the effort to try to cheat on them.

Even if you wouldnt get caught, Is it worth to buy 40 clicks for 5$?
Each click I get is worth between 0,05$ and 1,3$. So with 40 clicks for 5$ you can even not make even....

I know that you can't push people to click, but anyone have trouble with text like this, or similar (on website):

"Faucets are usually sponsored by advertisements. Ads only work to keep the faucet alive and cover the costs. So if you see an interesting ad, do not stop to check it out. Each click supports page which gives you something for free."

 

Are we allowed to have something like that?

[asztar7]

For me, this is not straightforward breaking the rules, but with adsense - I would not risk that. They already pay A LOT more than any other advertiser

If the users see an interesting ad, they would click it themselves, but by telling them that, you are still encouraging them to click on the ad, so I would still say its not recommended to write that, as it still might give false clicks/impressions on the ads.

Some of the websites are quite cunning. They make some images load slower, so when the user tries to click on a link there, something suddenly loads finish and you end up clicking on the ad. I find it quite annoying :/
