Tips on how not to get Banned !!

I recently had the privilege of getting my account banned by Google AdSense. It was totally my fault and I’m not complaining, i was completely new to AdSense and thought i could beat the system (what an idiot i was). So what did i do wrong ?

 1 , Clicked on my own words (from different PCs was a little bit smart) but used the same searches each time

2, Had a high click rate on ads with very little traffic to site (oops)

3, Didn’t read the rules, had modified AdSense code to suit my site and also had page pop out for search instead of loading in original page

4, Told my friends to click on the ads (BIG MISTAKE) they clicked 20 - 30 ads : very unrealistic clicking

5,  After clicking on ads log-in to see how much money i was making

The best way to use AdSense is let your site generate the money not try and up your income by doing the above

 So lesson learned , would have been nice if Google gave you a warning before banning you
