    Someone help me!!

    I was away from an emergency and didn't check my email or anything. It's been about 3 weeks and I check my email and found that email.

    In the email they said I need to fix it in the next 3 days or else:
    a. I won't be able to display ads on the site
    b. Account will still remain active

    Well I just got around to fixing it and I checked my account and the impressons have been consistent, so I think I was still able to display ads during the 3 weeks I was away.

    Am I basically screwed or is this not that serious?:confused:

    I think Danny read it as you got your termination notice. I think you are saying you got a warning.

    By all means write them back and explain your situation if you received a warning.

    If you were terminated, you can try an appeal but you would need to have a reason for your appeal and corroborating proof of your claims from traffic logs etc.

    I got a warning and it's been about 3 weeks already, I wasn't able to check email during that time. I don't see anything wrong with my account, I already contacted them about it. How long does it take to get a response?

    You have contacted them now, hopefully explaining the situation.

    You should likely hear back within 48 hrs... not a guarantee though, but generally it is within 48 hrs (unless its at the weekend)

    It's been over 24 hours already, I can't sleep because of this, when will they respond?

    If they don't contact me in 48 hours do I send email this time? Last time I used the contact form.

    make sure you have saved the mail you sent them and just sit back and wait.

    Relax and wait. There's nothing you can do now. Google will get back to you when they get back to you. Appeals, stuff that aren't generic "Is this allowed" emails usually take longer to get a response. Two days, three days, somewhere around there.

    Google will only reply after they do a review - so hopefully everything is fine and as long as every site you have is compliant, there shouldn't be any problem.

    30 hours is still a day and 6 hours. As everyone keeps telling you, this thing takes time. You're going to give yourself a heart attack or lifelong ulcer.

    Patience. The more you work yourself up about it, the longer it will seem before they reply. Just be sure that their message doesn't arrive unnoticed in your junk email folder - but hopefully before the weekend you get your reply.
