Google AdSense Policy: Guidelines for Publishers to Monetize with Ads Safely and Effectively
1. Content Guidelines: AdSense requires publishers to have high-quality and original content that complies with their policies. Content that violates Google's policies, such as adult content, copyrighted material, violence, or hate speech, is not allowed.
2. Website Quality: Publishers must have a well-designed website with easy navigation, clear and readable content, and a good user experience. Websites with excessive ads, deceptive practices, or low-quality content may be rejected from AdSense.
3. Traffic Requirements: AdSense requires websites to have a sufficient amount of traffic before being eligible for monetization. While there is no specific threshold, having a steady stream of organic traffic is generally recommended.
4. Ad Placement: Publishers must follow Google's guidelines for ad placement, which specify the number of ads per page, ad sizes, and ad placement locations. Ads should not be placed in a way that obstructs the user's ability to view the content or misleads users into clicking on ads.
5. Click Fraud: Publishers must not engage in any fraudulent activity to generate invalid clicks or impressions on ads. This includes using automated tools, encouraging users to click on ads, or engaging in any other form of click fraud.
6. Prohibited Content: AdSense does not allow monetization of certain types of content, including but not limited to, adult content, illegal content, violent content, hate speech, and copyrighted material.
7. AdSense Policies: Publishers must comply with Google's AdSense program policies, which outline the rules and regulations for using the AdSense program. Violation of these policies can result in suspension or termination of the AdSense account.
