AdSense Program policies

Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include, but are not limited to, repeated manual clicks or impressions, automated click and impression generating tools and the use of robots or deceptive software. Please note that clicking your own ads for any reason is prohibited.

To ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:

• Compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior.
• Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language.
• Direct user attention to the ads using arrows or other graphical gimmicks.
• Place misleading images alongside individual ads.
• Place ads in a floating box script.
• Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page.
• Format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads.
• Place misleading labels above Google ad units. For instance, ads may be labelled "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements", but not "Favorite Sites" or "Today's Top Offers".

To ensure a positive experience for Internet users and Google advertisers, sites displaying Google ads may not:

• Use third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf and click-exchange programs.
• Be promoted through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites.
• Display Google ads, search boxes or search results as a result of the actions of software applications such as toolbars.
• Be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code.
• Receive traffic from online advertising unless the site complies with the spirit of Google's Landing Page Quality Guidelines. For instance, users should easily be able to find what your ad promises.

Google ads, search boxes or search results may not be:

• Integrated into a software application (does not apply to AdMob) of any kind, including toolbars.
• Displayed in pop-ups or pop-unders, including where a page containing Google ads, search boxes, or search results is loaded in a pop-up or pop-under.
• Placed inside emails, or on pages where email messages are the primary focus.
• Placed on screens where private communication is the primary focus of the page.
• Placed on any non-content-based page. (Does not apply to AdSense for search or mobile AdSense for search.)
• Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads.
• Placed on pages whose content or URL could confuse users into thinking it is associated with Google due to the misuse of logos, trademarks or other brand features.
• Placed on, within or alongside other Google products or services in a manner that violates the policies of that product or service.
• Placed on pages that frame content. Framing content is when a site or app displays someone’s else site within a frame or window without permission from the owners of that content.
