1. Don’t modify the Google Adsense HTML code
2. Don't ask your friends or visitors to click on your Google ads
3. Don't click on your own ads - Google is much smarter than you think.
4. Don't place ads in pop-up windows, error pages or even empty pages.
5. Don't start an "adsense page" or "home loan page" website
- You will never make money out these "made-for-adsense-only" websites
6. Don't syndicate full content. Else, your ads will receive minimal attention.
7. Don't waste your money on high-paying adsense keywords lists.
- Don’t waste your time searching for high-paying adsense

8. Do read & follow the TOS of Adsense
- If u cheat, they ban you!
- U can never get cheque issued under ur name again!
- Eg. They say 1 Link Unit per page. You should not put 2 link Unit on the same page!
9. Do write on topics what you are passionate about.
10.Do place your ads above “short” articles, CTR is the best
11.Do place your ads in the middle of your “long” articles, CTR improves.
- Visitors read the long content and then they will look for more resources
12.Do place Ads without background color and borders. It always perform better.
- Make the border color and background color same as your page background color.
13. Do click on the link unit topics if you want to click on your Adsense 
