Google has intensified its review (and banning) of erring Adsense sites/accounts. We’ve encountered a lot of our publishers getting the same warning whenever they have failed to comply with Google’s program policies. To make sure webmasters get through the warning and do not get banned, we’re suggest reading and sticking to adsense terms of service to make sure they are Google-compliant.
Familarising ones slef with the adsense rules -does and donts is one of the smart things webmasters can do in order to protect themselves from being banned. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out the rules and to make things easier Google as cretaed YouTube videos that makes the rules as clear as day.
