How to identify an AdSense professional
Google's Advertising Professional program lets you gain recognition for your AdWords skills, but there's no comparable program for AdSense, and I can't really see them introducing one. What would be the minimum criteria? Here's my list:
- Owns at least one site/blog in each of the following areas: debt help, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, and diseases.
- Targeted more than once by click fraud.
- Warned by Google at least once to reword and/or change the layout of pages.
- Refers to SEO professionals by their first name, i.e. Jen, Jeremy, Aaron.
- Experiments with arbitrage and aggressive techniques like images near ads and single-page sites.
- Regularly engages in keyword research.
- Uses other programs like Chitika, YPN, etc.
- Doesn't moan in public about the unfairness of the AdSense terms and conditions.
