Tips To Avoid Accidental Clicks for Websites Serving Flash Games

Google has made policies for every types of AdSense product whether it is AdSense for video, AdSense for content, AdSense for search or AdSense for games. Different policies for different products are helpful for both advertisers and publishers. Here I will talk about AdSense for games and some points to avoid accidental clicks. Websites serving flash games are required to read and implement these tips on their site so hat they may not become the victim invalid clicks activity.

Here I will give three tips that can avoid accidental clicks on ads placed on game play pages. Game play page means a page where an individual game is available and a user can play directly by clicking on it. So care should be taken before putting ads on these pages. Below are three points which I am going to talk about regarding placement of ads.

1. Keeping Ads at the Right Distance:

Ad placement is very important. It can avoid implementations that lead to invalid click activity. A user that has come to play game don't like to accidentally clicks on ad and directed away from your site. In the same way advertisers also don't want to be charged for a click that a user made accidentally. And it is most important for publishers because if Google sees that the clicks coming from your pages are invalid they will disable your account. So how Flash-based game websites place their ads?

Ads should not be placed very close to the flash player, because these games are played with mouse and therefore chances of accidental clicks may occur. Since different sites have different sizes of flash players therefore Google has not given the exact distance to place ads, but they recommend that the distance between the Flash player and ads must be 150 pixels.

2. Use the right product 

It means that code must be used for its product only and not on other products. For example AdSense for content code should be used for content based webpages and not to to overlay these ads on video content. Publishers are also not allowed to implement ads for content ads on interstitial pages. You cannot make a user to watch the ad until the video loads. If you want to implement this you must read about AdSense for video.

3. Placing ads on game play pages

As I mentioned above that game play pages are those pages which has game playable by a mouse click. There should not be a fake link to play games dominated by AdSense for content codes. If there is a button to play a game, it must be placedclearly away from ads, so that a user can differentiate between them and don't make accidental clicks.
