Many people have asked me why reported the sites that showed my Adword ads and what they have done wrong.

Well if you check on the Adsense Program Policies then you will see the following

Encouraging clicks

In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers may not request that users click the ads on their sites or rely on deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks. Publishers participating in the AdSense program:

• May not encourage users to click the Google ads by using phrases such as “click the ads,” “support us,” “visit these links,” or other similar language
• May not direct user attention to the ads via arrows or other graphical gimmicks
• May not place misleading images alongside individual ads
• May not promote sites displaying ads through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites
• May not compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior
• May not place misleading labels above Google ad units – for instance, ads may be labeled “Sponsored Links” but not “Favorite Sites”

Most of the site I reported had graphical gimmicks and misleading images alongside individual ads on every page.

I myself had a page like that and I did not know that was ok it was just when they changed the policies. Some of the pages also had POP UP that was very annoying and blocking the Adsense ads.

I did a Google Adword report now on all my sites and I have discovered so many more that are wrong and I have reported them as well but it taken up to much of my time and I am not sure Google Adword will give me any money back.

If you want me to have a look at your site please leave a comment and I will have a check for you if your site is ok with the Google Adsense Program Policies
