- Adsense Signup’s – Now a days it is not easy to get Google Adsense approval so easily. They have two step review process, and many got failed in the first step itself. And others got rejected in the second review process. But still there are few, who come as winners. [Note: In both the process, people gets rejected, because of their fault only.]
- Steal visitors– Yes, if your reader will click on the ads, then they will be redirected to the relevant site. It means, the new site will open in the same window and hence you lost a visitor or can say your subscriber as well.
- Strict rules to be followed – As a webmaster, if you are found doing some false activities or fooling Google Adsense, then you are asking for trouble. The Google will ban you from their Adsense program. The only thing that will save you is, just become the obedient student.
- Payment Delay – The Google follows a net60 payment method. It means, once you will achieve your minimum level, then you can ask or they will send you check. But it will take more than 60 days.
