Hey, could you please share the reasons why Google ban accouns from Adsense. I have read their TOS and made some research of my own. I kow that you will be banned for fraud clicks, if you log-in to the account with the same IP someone else (or even you) log in to another account, etc. But I'd like to have some summerizing information. So please, share what you heard (if not experienced... )
I heard someone got banned for "bad traffic", i.e. most of the site's traffic were bots, but i would think it's rare. fraud clicks as said before me is mainly the reason. Another thing, is displaying ads on illegal content sites, such as gambling, adult, etc... u can see their full list in the TOS page.
Don't forget about putting your ads on porn sites or putting them on a domain with google trademarks in the name. But this rarely gets you banned unless someone reports you. Thank You
if the image does not directly suggest to click the ad, like "click here" images, etc, then u r safe. I wanted to display an icon saying "new" near google ads, and emailed them, asking if the way my ad is displayed complies with their TOS (u can see example on www.loreleiweb.com <---it will be right in ur face..lol) and they got back to me saying its fine, as the images doesnt really forces to the visitor to click.
I was banned for bad traffic but the site was a pre owned site so i cant stop the traffic coming and i explained this and my account was still disabled.
due to bad traffic and fraudelent clicks you can get banned by google in different ways as i know hardmen
eh? yesterday i had 5700 uniques, but actually i was quite happy with it i am sure that there are tons of sites out there getting A LOT more, all these who brag they make 300$... they cant really earn all that much with a few visitors a day...
I was banned because someone made a auto-refresh on my site. I don't know exactly what happened there, but some guys wrote a script to refresh my page every 0.2 seconds. "Illegal clicks", thats what Google called this, but no one clicked on their ads.
Bad traffic is traffic that doesn't convert isn't it i.e. clicks ads but doesn't buy? I think it's unfair for them to ban for that.
Wow, and if I have stupid offer, like e-book titled "2Rich2Famous in AdSense", which is 15.000$, then what ? Bad traffic or stupid offer ? And what about in the real estate niche...
I agree, it's a bit bad to say the least to ban you for bad traffic. You have no control if the person who clicks the adsense add then converts into a sale.
