When does Adsense shut down accounts?

[qll]

If Adsense will close publisher's account, will it happen at the payment review around mid month, or adsense will shut down the accounts whenever they saw questioned clicks? I hope the later, so at least I will know if any new design is oked before I use it on more sites. Currently, I am waiting for the approval of the payment from the clicks on the new design. It takes 1.7 months. That is too long.

Boogle got his account closed. At what time of the month did that happen?

[digitalpoint]

Haven't we been through this before? As long as you aren't violating Google's TOS your account wont be canceled. My guess is they will shut down an account at any time they want. I doubt they wait until a certain time of the month to shut down accounts that need to be canceled.

Just follow question on this. How often google checks publishers account for suspicious clicks? If you have massive invalid clicks for a day, will they close your account immediately or they will find out about it during cutoff?

[Fishing Forum]

will they close your account immediately or they will find out about it during cutoff

immediately - basically don't think you can mess about with the clicks you will get caught

If you have a good site and have done the work you will earn out of adsense

[schlottke]

From what I've heard- this is how it goes.

They will post your current months payment: " Payment Calculated " which is usually around the 3rd to the 6th.

During the next 12-15 days, the accounts are inspected, and the second a red flag appears, the account is deactivated. You then have 24-48 hours or so to plead your case. They then manually research the clicks. After they find out one way or the other- you are notified. In the last 6 months, I havent heard of one case being reversed- (mainly people using proxy products getting caught because they are too dumb to realize they have cookies still on their computer, Im assuming.)


Good Luck qll...

[melfan]

You mean that they manually inspect all publishers sites in just 15 days? I think they need million of people to do that.

[schlottke]

No. They are inspected by a set of algorithms that searches for flaws, repeats, in the clicks. The accounts that are shut down, and then plea for a second chance are manually reviewed.


-- This is, ofcourse, just an educated guess after talking with people about it.

I wonder if Google considers it a 'flaw' if you have a perfectly good website with valuable information - that changes quite often and a particular user decides this is one of their favorite sites.. take a forum of some kind (for example). If that users tends to click on the AdSense ads frequently - could they 'skew' the algorithm into thinking that something fishy is going on??

[mopacfan]

It's always a scary proposition when you have absolutely no control whatsoever and no power of recourse. Whether it's adsense or anything else in life in which you have no way of influencing the outcome.

Why do we continue to humour this scammer with our responses? He is so fringe that I am afraid to even post on this threads for fear of any big 3 associating us with this guy.

QLL, you continue to ask nothing but borderline questions, why not let us in and show us your websites?

[Will.Spencer]

I'm not sure I want to see, that might make me an accessory.

[NewComputer]

haha, nice. Yea, no kidding.... better safe than very, very, very sorry.

Yea, that's what Google tends to do. They figure since they are now a public company it's a good business model to ban/shut down honest, reputable Adsense users who are making them money. That way Google makes less $ and the stock holders are all happy.

[aeiouy]

Warms my heart to see this forum was exactly the same 11 months ago...

[lorien1973]

Oh those crazy google people. Banning "honest" advertisers again. Will they never learn? :rolleyes:

I confess, I'm Dishonest, so I'm untouchable by G!

Muhahahahaha!

That's why Google basically requires you NEVER EVER EVER EVER TO MENTION YOUR ADSENSE ADS to your visitors. EVER. Just to prevent this type of situation.

What a dork! He goes, "they banned me for nothing!" and then adds in the next sentence, "guess is my good friend clicking too often on my ads". LOL.

I don't know about that. My pet rock is pretty smart.

Why do you guys keep resurrecting these old threads? It's close to celeberating its first birthday.

I will just add it is no fun having so little control, or recourse. It's a great program, but there is so much out of your hands.

For people who like to control as much of their business as possible, it requires an adjustment.

[avatar21]

DAH ... re-appealed ... bye bye!

NVM I learned my lesson, thanx guys! Hey, by the way I'm switching to Yahoo! Ads now ... hehe!

Any comments on this program guys (oh sorry n' gals)?
