It is too easy for some people to decide that in order to make money with adsense; they should cut corners on some of the rules and common sense assumptions. This is more likely to get them in trouble with Google administrators.
There is no doubt the thousands of good webmasters have found a good way to make money with adsense. By following their lead, you can add your name to the list of successful entrepreneurs using the Adsense principles. However, there are some things associated with the Google program that you should avoid at all costs. These may be specific to the program, or they may be just common sense prohibitions. Take the time to know and understand these things that can destroy your revenue source before you are well started.
Getting the cart before the horse
Before attempting to place ads or make money with adsense, be certain that you understand the concepts and the reasoning behind the actions that you will take. Newcomers often get so excited about the prospects of a good work-at-home income that they will leap into the program and then wonder why the revenues are not as substantial as they are reputed to be. It is because the program is not being followed according to the best rules and practices as set out by Google. Obtaining a good tutorial that will walk you step by step through the process of identifying potential revenue sources and place the appropriate ads will mean more profit for you in the long run.
Assumptions
Don't make the assumption that just because something worked in another program you have tried that it will work equally well to make money with adsense. It may work quite well, or it may be a concept that is adaptable for Adsense, but the trick is to know the difference. You need to understand the big picture before setting your expectations and assumptions about the performance of Adsense. Another assumption to avoid is that you will make a certain amount of money if you follow the program. Even if you abide by all the good principles, it doesn't guarantee that you will be set for life financially.
Skating on thin ice
When you set out to make money with adsense, make certain that you don't push the limits that are defined by the Google administrators. You may be tempted to try something thinking that no one will notice, or that it's only a little bit questionable. In fact, you are risking your continued participation in the Adsense program if you step over the line. Google is willing to work with you and to respond to honest queries about whether a particular practice or item is acceptable under Adsense guidelines.
Blatant violations
To make money with adsense, you must apply for and be accepted as an Adsense publisher by Google administration. This means that you have agreed to abide by the rules and regulations of the Adsense program. Google--and reputable users of Adsense--recognize that maintaining the quality of the program helps advertising and helps with the acceptance of internet advertising as a legitimate and professional medium for marketing. You may be forgiven one trespass, but Google is also under no obligation to allow you to blatantly ignore the policies and procedures.

Sincerely,
