Adding Google Analytics AdSense Tracking Code
Hi David,
I upgraded to 6.2. At the same time changed domain (two changes at the same time… bad), anyways, when I try to use Google Analytics for checking Adsense reports for the same blog (new theme + new domain)… I got this message:
“This report requires AdSense to be enabled for this profile.”
I’m getting Analytics data, but I’m not getting Adsense Data (within Google Analytics)… I wonder if I have to enter the actual Adsense code in the .php theme files and where?
Thanks
Héctor
Adding Google Analytics AdSense Tracking Code
This Report Requires AdSense To Be Enabled For This Profile
Stallion 6.2 doesn’t include Google Analytics AdSense Tracking. It’s part of Stallion 7.0 which I’m working on releasing soon.
I think the message “This report requires AdSense to be enabled for this profile.” is related to not linking your AdSense account to your Analytics account. Was a pain to setup when I did it and couldn’t describe how to do it.
In Stallion 6.2 you’d also have to add the Google Analytics Tracking code to the header.php file.

AdSense Application Rejected Unacceptable Site Content
Hi Dave,
I have a Stallion WordPress blog. I’ve been trying to get it accepted to carry Adsense ads but it keeps getting rejected for “unacceptable site content”. A few months ago I really studied the regulations closely, got rid of all outgoing links to both my other sites and others. There are now no ads of any kind on the site and no outgoing links of any kind.
Another mistake I know I was making was that I was also submitting my blogs to article sites. I have since removed them from all sites I personally submitted them to and, in case they were circulated wider, have substantially re-written all of the blogs. There are approximately 20 of them, with more in the pipeline. I cannot think of any reason that Google is still rejecting my site.
Several weeks ago I the day after my first resubmission after I had overhauled the site, I received an email from Adsense asking me to put code on my site as they could not fully consider it until there was code on the site. However the next day I got another email saying again that it had been rejected for unacceptable site content, notwithstanding the fact that no code had been put on the site. Now when I log in to Adsense I can only access the resubmission page, where there is no facility to copy and add code.
I have had problems in the past because I am an Australian living in Thailand and Google insists on emailing me in Thai which I cannot understand. However I think I have solved that problem by utilizing the Google translation tool.
Could you please review the site and let me know if there is anything obvious that I have missed that is causing Adsense to reject my site.
Thanking you in advance

AdSense Application Rejected Unacceptable Site Content
How To Get Approved For AdSense
I would say it’s the submitting the sites content to article directories, makes your site look like an autoblog of scrapped content.
My first search in Google to check your site, copy and paste the entire line into Google search:
Susan was bending over Fred’s desk the next day, explaining to him exactly how to
You can see the Article site results, makes it look like your site is full of copied content. I don’t see how you can fix this, your content will already be copied to dozens of websites. Unless you can convince Google AdSense it’s your content, so you aren’t copying anything.
You could try on the Google AdSense Help Forums https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&hl=en#!forum/adsense-help and ask their how to get approved For AdSense, if the right person reads your problem they might get you through the process with this domain.
When applying for an AdSense account use your best website, when approved you can add AdSense to any domain and they won’t check the domains individually unless an issue arises (obviously don’t break their T&Cs), they wouldn’t remove your current domain from the AdSense program if you already had an AdSense account basically, it’s getting that first website accepted is the hard part.
If you have other domains try again with one of them making sure it’s cleaner than white. If you own only one domain consider starting a free Blogspot blog, lots of people swear by them for getting their AdSense account approved. Create a blog, add a dozen unique posts, add some links, wait for them all to be indexed, apply again.

How To Get Approved For AdSense
Google AdSense Banned my AdSense Account 4 Times
Yes, David. When I used the Stallion theme on my blogs first time and I hadn’t used the kk-star-ratings plugin there was no issue at all. But really I was surprised after fixed the error message issue was that when I tried to activate the Stallion theme on my another blog where I had forgotten to deactivate the kk-star-ratings plugin first and I didn’t get any error message like I experienced on the first blog so I was not necessary to make the plugin deactivated because everything went fine without issue. Perhaps there was a ghost in the kk-star-ratings plugin that fickle so that sometimes the error happened and sometimes not, I don’t know.
By the way I use the Stallion back because when I used another adsense blog theme of Blue Sense theme that had been modified by Adsense 100K Blueprint theme, the google had banned my adsense account 4 times because they seemed not to like with the theme that had generated quick earnings from adsense for me with the reason to have the significant risk to their advertisers which that’s a nonsense reason really. Hence I try to use the Stallion theme and see whether or not the google disables my account.
Thanks.

Google AdSense Banned my AdSense Account 4 Times
AdSense Account Banned for using WordPress AdSense Themes
You are completely missing the point about the WordPress plugin, this isn’t a theme issue it’s a plugin bug, the fact on one site you activated Stallion first and the other after the plugin will be a coincidence not a cause otherwise I’d be getting reports on this issue and I’d be able to find Stallion sites with the issue. The WordPress plugin has a bug that doesn’t happen on every site, on another set of sites it could have gone the other way.
Google AdSense won’t ban an AdSense account just for using a particular WordPress theme, Stallion for example doesn’t do anything untoward AdSense wise, just makes it much easier for users to add AdSense to their WordPress sites without breaking any AdSense T&Cs.
What will get an AdSense account banned is:
Clicking your own ads
Tricking users into clicking ads, for example associating images with AdSense ad units so it looks like the image is part of the ad.
Breaking the AdSense T&Cs for example adding AdSense to a domain with porn. I had a forum that got hundreds of SPAM posts and a lot of it was porn, was warned to remove the ads from those pages (deleted the SPAM posts, no further issues with the domain).
Almost lost my AdSense account because someone had not changed my AdSense pub number on one of my themes they used (no idea what the domain was or the content, assumed it was that).
Having only low quality content, if all you do is autoblog for example Google search and Google AdSense will consider your sites not worth doing business with. If you use low quality content also use high quality content: there’s no such thing as automated high quality content :-) I’m afraid high quality content takes a LOT of time.
Do you have high quality websites or only autoblogs? If the latter what do you expect, Google doesn’t want to reward autobloggers who are damaging their search results.

AdSense Account Banned for using WordPress AdSense Themes
Banned AdSense Account Has Posed A Significant Risk To Our AdWords Advertisers
As for the banned adsense account I had experienced 4 times where I used the BlueSense theme or Adsense 100k Blueprint theme, I hadn’t violated any TOS of adsense at all:
– I had never clicked the ads myself since 2006
– I didn’t put any trick for users into clicking ads
– I didn’t use a domain with porn whatsoever
– I wrote the enough high quality content on my adsense blog articles and pages
but the account was still banned by Google with the reason of having the significant risk to their advertisers, whereas I saw another user with the same theme in the internet is still live with the adsense ads on their blog theme. It’s weird thing really.
Yes, it’s no issue by using the Stallion theme during this time period but I got no click with this theme despite there were enough many visitors to my blog. But when I used the BlueSense or Adsense 100k Blueprint theme I directly got click at the first day the theme was live until finally my adsense account was banned by google.
I’ve sent you those themes via email if you want to look into or try it on your blogs yourself to see whether or not you have problem with Google like me before.
Thanks.

Banned AdSense Account Has Posed A Significant Risk To Our AdWords Advertisers
Banned AdSense Account?
I’m familiar with BlueSense AdSense theme, very basic AdSense theme with few options. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the way BlueSense adds AdSense to a site, it’s not unlike Stallion other than the ad locations can be moved around in Stallion.
BTW When checking the effectiveness of a theme or particular ad layout you don’t go on one days data, you track thousands of ad impressions since a site with one visitor could generate 5 clicks if that one visitor was the “right” visitor on that day of testing.
When you say you’ve had your account banned 4 times (banned means you loose access to the account, complete ban, no AdSense payments), normally Google AdSense only allows you to have one AdSense account and if you get it banned that’s it, you are out. If you are managing to register more accounts that in itself would be enough reason for them to keep banning your AdSense accounts.
You don’t appear to be that tech savvy (nothing personal :-)), you might think after getting a new AdSense account they won’t be able to link you to the old accounts, but they are VERY smart people working for Google. When you log into Google they track you, so when you log into an AdSense account they log how you logged in, the IP address etc…
If you get an account banned, get a new one and login with no precautions like never using the same IP on two accounts (I guess taking precautions like using proxies to login would also be a red flag in itself) they will eventually link you to the old accounts and ban them.
So a simple case of logging into your AdSense accounts could trip a flag that results in a manual review of your account. There’s plenty of other ways to discover you, using the same Whois info on all domains for example. I suspect if you’ve had 4 accounts banned it’s basically you being blacklisted because of the first AdSense account ban, not because of the AdSense themes you’ve used (the AdSense themes are a coincidence).
I’ve had one AdSense account since 2004 and have had the odd domain removed from the AdSense program for T&Cs issues like having AdSense on a domain selling books about gambling which I thought was OK (it’s books not actual gambling). And as I said before my account was banned for about a week because I think someone used my AdSense pub number on a domain that broke the T&Cs in a big way, the account was reinstated when I went through the appeals process. I’ve had up to 150 domains running AdSense through the one account with a variety of AdSense themes and the only issues I’ve had are content related not theme related and I’ve used themes similar to BlueSense before I made Stallion.

Banned AdSense Account?
AdSense Account Banned by Google
Thanks for the explanation. When my adsense account was banned by google, I lost my earnings around $156 in November last year. Someone in my country had ever destroyed my adsense business last year and I used the Blue Sense theme when the account was banned. I think they banned my adsense accounts was because of I had kept using the same theme (Blue Sense theme) like I used last year so they have the record of site catching in the form of how blog theme I had ever used last year which matched with the theme I used now.
Since I got the new adsense account I have changed the blog theme and not using the Blue Sense theme again, and also every I login to my adsense account I would always use the different IP address and before all I cleared my firefox browser cookies to be safe for not been tracked down by google again. I use HideMyIP with the USA IP address. I stay in Indonesia and using the mobile broadband modem in a little form like a flasdisk which the IP address will be rotated automatically by the operator and there is possibility someone else will use the same IP address with me, and to prevent any possibility to be assumed doing click fraud with the shared same IP address I better use the USA IP address via HideMyIP software which I can choose and change the IP address of USA I want.
I will see whether the google will ban my adsense account again or not after I changed the blog theme and never using the Blue Sense theme again. I have feeling that they banned my account was because of I had used the same blog theme with when my account was banned by them at first time in November last year. If up to around 21 days or 3 weeks my new adsense account is still live it means everything will be okay with the blog theme I used now and also my USA IP address via HideMyIP.
Thanks.

Google AdSense Publisher ID
As for your adsense account that placed in the Stallion theme before the users activating their own adsense account, I think you better change it with ‘pub-XXXXXXXXXX’ for example which this will protect the safety of your adsense account rather than your account will have the risk to be banned because of click fraud activities done by someone else and you will have to do the appeal with google again.
There are wicked hackers out there and you don’t know them so be safe will be good rather than giving the chance for them to destroy your business.
Thanks.

AdSense Account Disabled for...
It could be as simple as being in Indonesia, Google AdSense gets a LOT of AdSense Ad Clickers from that part of the world and as I understand things they are far less lenient because of the risks.
You mentioned one of the factors (using proxies) I’d expect Google to look for when flagging possible problem accounts.
Look at it from Google AdSense point of view.
Click fraud is rife in some countries, you are using a proxy to hide your real IP (why would a legitimate AdSense user need to use a proxy) that many AdSense clickers use and some of your content is questionable (autoblogs). I would expect your account to be banned again I’m afraid and it’s nothing to do with the AdSense themes you’ve used :-(
Regarding my AdSense pub number I changed my account so only domains I approve count as ad impressions etc… so won’t be an issue again. I’ve considered adding a charities pub number, but they’d run the same risk and it’s not that many impressions anyway. If I leave it blank it’s going to confuse some users when it doesn’t work out the box.

How to Protect your AdSense Account From Being Disabled
I’m lucky because my adsense account is still live until this moment without banned again. If I use the IP address with the mobile broadband internet access which there is maybe someone else using the IP it will cause my account banned again. I use the paid HideIP service which this is not using proxies but the real IP address coming from the countries such as USA, United Kingdom, Singapore, etc. and I can select it when I want to login to my adsense account.
Regarding the domains you approved will be counted as ad impressions to protect your adsense account banned by google, how did you do that? Where can we do that to tell Google about those domains, is it done inside the adsene account login or somewhere else? I haven’t seen any feature in my adsense account login to enable me doing that. Can you tell me about this?
Really if someone else did the clicks on our domains many times despite it was done from the different IP address, the Google will have possibility to suspect it as the click fraud activities following their system. Really the adsense business that involved the third-party (google) has the high risk to lose business or earnings because we don’t know how their system works to detect the click frauds or suspected the significant risk to their advertisers, etc. from time to time.

How to Protect your AdSense Account From Being Disabled
Google AdSense Accounts and Proxy IP Services
Do you honestly believe a company like Google won’t know all the IP addresses of popular proxies and won’t be actively trying to find new proxy IPs? Any service that changes your real IP address is using a proxy server, so you are using proxy servers to log into your AdSense account and that’s suspicious activity. The only question is how long it will take for AdSense to detect it’s a proxy server and not your real IP addresses.
I don’t know how Google does it, I’m not a programmer either, but it’s not rocket science to imagine AdSense could compare a users IPs used to access an account to the users home address. If you have your home address set to Indonesia and you always login from an IP located in the US or UK or a combination don’t you think it would throw up a red flag?
The ISP I use uses dynamic IPs, but they are always UK based IPs and registered by the same ISP, been with this ISP for about 5 years and I’ve never logged into my account from another ISP (in those 5 years). Easy to see I’m not trying to hide anything when I log into my AdSense account.
That red flag results in a manual review of your account, they look at who else uses the IPs to log into other Google services not just AdSense (you won’t have a dedicated IP from a proxy server, so other people will use it, maybe some are AdSense ad clickers). Maybe they check the domains where your AdSense pub number is used and check the Whois data and find the majority are located in Indonesia (assuming you’ve added accurate Whois data which is a legal requirement). They’ll almost certainly check the quality of your content, hmm scrapped content, he’s an autoblogger, does he have more quality content or is it mostly copied content?
It’s not hard to see AdSense can determine a lot of information about their users and it’s unlikely they’ll check every account, but will have filters set that profile potential problem accounts and they will get a manual review.
Over Christmas (5 months ago) my AdSense account was showing earnings of over £1,500, a month later they paid around £1,000 for that month so I assumed something fishy was going on. Found a couple of my domains had a lot of extra AdSense clicks (really high CTR at times). I’ve never deliberately clicked my own AdSense ads (accidental clicks have occurred, I do a lot of development work with AdSense themes) and have never asked/paid anyone to click ads either, so I’m guessing someone was clicking a competitors AdWords users ads to run their ad money down so their AdWords ads would show more often. AdSense didn’t contact me about this, I guess they did an investigation and concluded I was innocent.
To set domains Google AdSense will count clicks for under your AdSense account click “AdSense Settings”, near the bottom is a setting “Sites authorised to show ads” click the Edit link.

Add AdSense Ads WordPress Posts
Hello David,
I have tried to create an entertainment blog and I want to add the ads below the post content but I could not do it. It is not in your stallion theme. Could you tell me how can I create a widget for inserting below the post content like stallion theme.
I think that if I could do like that. I could add ads below it.
Thank you and hope you can give me some ideas!

Add AdSense Ads WordPress Posts
WordPress AdSense Widget
For blog Posts and static Pages it is already possible with Stallion.
Appearance >> Widgets
Drag and Drop a widget into the “Bottom Content Ad Widget” area and it will load at the bottom of the main content on Posts and Pages only.
Since there’s no bottom of main content on archives (categories etc…) the widget doesn’t load on other parts of the site.
This widget area isn’t really designed for standard widgets (like a Categories widget) which is why it’s called an ad widget, meant for adding custom ad code, so some of the widgets won’t work the same way as adding to a sidebar type ad widget area.
Hmm, wonder if I could break that widget area into two or three similar to the footer widget areas, that might make for an interesting design option.

How to Change AdSense Font Size
The Stallion theme has no control over the AdSense ads fonts.
There’s an option under the AdSense Control Panel to change the default AdSense font size and font family.
Click the circle like icon next to your email address (on the right hand side)
followed by Settings
followed by Ad Display
There you will find the default AdSense font family and font size.
