As one with interest to make money on the Internet, I’m sure you would have noticed the craze for Google Adsense parked domain program in Nigeria. In fact, as you read this, you may even have signed up for one, or have paid someone to help you register one with the expectation that they will make at least EU200 for you in thirty days.

Or, you may have actually registered one and made hundreds of dollars in only a few days, but just as you were about to roll out the drums to celebrate your new found “instant money-making machine”, you woke up one morning to find your Google adsense account has been terminated and the money gone.

Now, why would Google suddenly terminate your account without giving any reason?

I will tell you the reason, and I will say quickly that it is not what you may want to hear, but it is the truth. If you know me well, you would know I don’t believe in hype or covering up something to lure people into accepting it.

Google did not terminate your adsense account because you are a Nigerian, no, no, that’s far from it. The simple reason your account was terminated is because you went against their policy regarding their parked domain program.

You may not know since you didn’t read their terms of use, and policy when signing up to display their adsense on your parked domain, but ignorance, as they say in law, is no excuse. One aspect in Google’s adsense parked domain program policy is that you must not promote the parked domain in any way. You must not send traffic to it either through article marketing, link building, PPC, paid to click, social media marketing, or by any other marketing methods.

Once Google discovers that traffic is moving to your parked domain, and they trace the traffic to any marketing effort, they will immediately terminate your adsense account and return whatever you may have made to their advertisers.

Google believes that sending people to a site that has no content whatsoever, but adverts is a fraudulent way to make money from them, because you are indirectly asking those you send there to click on any link since there is nothing else they would do anyway.

Such clicks are not valuable to advertisers who pay for them since they are not made from free will. And as Google will of course act to protect its platform and advertisers from paying for valueless clicks, such publisher’s account will be terminated, and earnings forfeited.

The only traffic Google will allow to a parked domain site containing its adsense is that from organic search. If someone made a search for a domain on a search engine and got your domain, visited, and clicked on a link there, Google will not frown on that.

Another kind of traffic Google will not terminate your account for is traffic from links that were created to the site before it was for any reason turned into a parked domain.

What I mean is this: You have a site up for some time, and have promoted it then by building links to it through article marketing, link exchange, etc. Later on, you decided, for instance, that you want to redo the site and that in the mean time you want to park it and have Google adsense on it. Because those links have been there before the domain was parked with adsense, Google will not terminate such publisher’s account.

However, such publisher must not continue promoting such domain.

So, if you have had your account terminated after joining their parked domain program, which you directed traffic to, that must have been the reason for the termination of your account, although they will never disclose the reason for terminating anyone’s account.

If you are still promoting your parked domain, and it hasn’t been terminated, it’s only because either Google has not found your domain out, or they are still investigating, know that the hammer may drop soon.

Bottom Line:

The bottom line I will like to draw here as I conclude this article is that it is always adviseable to read and understand the terms of use, or company policy, before signing up or registering for any program with any company or website you desire to participate with. If you don’t, you may find yourself going against their rule without knowing it, and in the end your efforts and money can come to not.

Also, it is important to stick by the rule governing the operation of any program you are participating in online, rather than trying to bend or manipulate the rule, you may not get far before you are found out and banned.

If Google says you must not promote a parked domain containing its adsense, that’s their rule, and you shouldn’t do it. If their program doesn’t meet your quest of making money online, you can always find another program or business that you can do instead – there are alternatives.

If your adsense account is terminated for infringing on their policy statement, it could be difficult signing up again for another one.
