    Want to add one more tips:

    - Do not use traffic exchange and paid to surf programs to boost traffic as this will be seen by Google as artificially increase the AdSense page view. Futhermore, if members within a traffic exchange program started to click each other ads, Google will treat it as click fraud and ban people who involved.
