So lets just take a few minutes out to discuss methods of avoiding the dreaded AdSense ban
First and foremost, Google has a guide that tells you the Dos and Don'ts so please read it. AdSense guide from the lips of Google
- Click Fraud. This conjures up images of someone sitting in a darkened room clicking on their own AdSense ads. A really dumb thing to do. First, this WILL get you banned. And second, it's not going to make you rich. Duh?.
- Code Manipulation. With AdSense, you are allowed to change the text color, banner size, even the font of the ad while creating your code. Any further editing of the code that is outside the scope provided in your AdSense account can get you banned.
- Multiple AdSense accounts. This is a real no-no with Google AdSense. It really is a one account per person policy here. Yes you may have heard some big shot marketer telling of his multiple AdSense accounts, doesn't make it right. Also the big shot marketer is making money from all sorts of avenues and really is not relying on AdSense to put food on the table. Also, you are not a big shot marketer!!
- Other contextual ads. Now this one is often a genuine error on peoples part. But AdSense does not want you displaying your AdSense ads on the same pages as you display other contextual advertisers ads. So if you are monetizing your site by displaying AdSense ads, you cannot display yahoo search marketing ads on the same pages. It is one of those things that is not obvious, I suppose this is why we need to read the TOS of AdSense
These are just a few basics. You may be wondering why I have written this post.
I was chatting to a friend about what I do online and the AdSense thing came up. As soon as I explained AdSense to him, he said, I'll build my site and click on my ads for an hour a day everyday
Yikes!!
Doesn't quite work that way

"Other contextual ads" - Could you please specify where this information has come from. I checked https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=23921 and I did not find any information about other contextual ads. :)
Thanks for your comments Drapeko.
There is no direct reference to 'contexual ads at the google adsense site.
The closest thing is at the adsense policy site is
"Competitive Ads and Services
In order to prevent user confusion, publishers may not display Google ads or search boxes on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colours as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure that these ads cannot be confused with Google ads."
What one makes of this is individual choice
thanks for the information.
thanx for this post.
Getting banned doesn't mean that you can't get your Adsense and\or Adwords Accounts back. There is a very simple way that doesn't involve reapplying with Google.
