I didn't say you could earn from that site. The link is an information link that explains how Ad Sense earnings are generated.

If the comments occur naturally, then you are moving in the right direction.

Yes, it all about readers commenting naturally without any corecion. I know that ad network works better with anything done without force on a site even for traffic's. So it better we let it be provided we are still promoting the site and posts.

I have been blogging since a year and I know the difficulty of getting organic comments. I share on facebook, however, many people leave comment on facebok post instead of going to the article and leaving comment on the article.

You could install a Facebook Comments plugin at your blog. Those work great! Also you could install the Disqus plugin which allows multiple ways for visitors to leave comments ... Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I also read about the intentional clicking of ads which might compromise our account. Comments, on the other hand, will help build credibility, increase visibility and may help improve SEO. One way of attracting more people to leave a comment on your post is to do it on other blogs.

Anybody who signed up for Google Ad Sense knows better than to do that. The ones who did not know better knew better after they got their account suspended or disabled. Although in responding to this discussion I found an interesting story link. The report is dated May 2018 so it isn't exactly old news.

Google Agrees to Pay $11 Million to Owners of Suspended AdSense Accounts
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/g ... -accounts/

That's an interesting story. I was moved my a claim from an adsense user who says he was banned even though he had been using adsense for more than 5 years.

I agree that this case is moving however, there are So many people who have been banned just before google sent their cheques. But through this case only those from tier 1 countries get the compensation, this is really unfair. I wonder if there is anyone elese fighting for those in Asian countries.

If you are using wordpress, you can find plugins that stop multiple clicks by the same user.

I don't solicit for comments from visitors. I leave them to post the comments when they wish so. I simply make sure to review all comments so I approve those which deem so.

Sometimes your well wisher begins to click on ads regularly even though you are not asking him to do so. This will also risk your ad account.

This is the oft repeated mistake for adsense disqualification. You will see this discussed over and over again on the adsense reinstatement request site.

There are so many different lines of thought on this.

~ Some suggest you end your post with a CTA (Call To Action) or ask a question to encourage a response.

~ Some say install a comments plugin like Disqus that allows people to either sign in with their social media accounts or as Anonymous, etc. so they feel comfortable leaving a comment and/or sharing their comment with their social network.

~ Some say be sure to place social sharing buttons in an obvious place to make it easy for the visitor to at least share the post even if they don't want to leave a comment. Maybe it might send traffic to your blog and the next visitor will leave a comment.

I say they are great suggestions and they all work!

I can only say this,"I lost my adsense account because of too many clicks on the adverts while the same members making comments on my articles. Google thinks that more than 3-4% clicks of total visitors is too many to adjust and send a note that you're disqualified. That's what I feel 'love's labour's lost' in a simple way. As long the lovely and loving people are limited to comments that's very much fine. The site I lost my adsense account was Triond dot com, a very popular site during 2006-12

I think one just have to be careful using AdSense their bot is just too sensitive and get one account easily banned or suspended easily whichever works better for them I prefer other non-sensitive ad network than AdSense these days.

My new strategy for this year is to build a close bond with those who previously commented on my post. Since the site allows to leave the name and the website, I could check from time to time if they have new updates on their sites. Then I can also leave a new comment. I will check if this will work. I get a positive response when I tried when some visitors who commented. I will do this alternately with other strategies that I am currently doing.

I agree with you. But I don't use any of the mentioned. As far as I know, one leaves a comment when there is need no matter the option or style you use. That is why I simply leave those who wish to comment rather than telling them to do so.

Blog exchange group could be the best medium or source of getting readers to your blog. There is an open blog exchange group and closed one. Usually they could be found in the Facebook.

I have used closed groups and open groups. They're both good. :thumbup:
