I recently mailed/confessed to Google requesting if they could terminate my account (cause of invalid clicks) and apply again. They haven't replied since. Then recently I join my wife in this and she got accepted. My worries and questions are that will they ban my wife because of me? Will they terminate her account if she reach 100 USD because we had the same street address. AND IS THERE ANY WAY TO MANUALLY CANCEL MY ACCOUNT TO GOOGLE AND APPLY AGAIN, or just dropped my balance to zero???
Yes, Both of your accounts will be disabled if either of your accounts get banned. Why did you write such a mail to google in the first place?
I thought maybe If I apologize then they would accept me again. Anyways what if I just change my profile to a different info, delete all websites associated with adsense in that account and just ignored it AND APPLY FOR ANOTHER ONE WITH MY ORIGINAL NAME, you think they would accept me?
I think the game is over man. But there are tons of other ad companies. Check Chitika out. I heard they are really good. Adsense isn't everything. Get another good company. Skinny
If you mailed to google about invalid clicks you should have nothing to worry about But if they mail you about invalid clicks.. well you see my point That's strange that they didn't answer yet, they're usually quick at this.
why the hell would you confess to google. You are dumb for clicking your own ads and you are EVEN DUMBER for confessing to google about it. It never amazes me how dumb people can be. Dont worry though, in a few days someone else will post a story similar and I will then accuse them of being the dumbest.
You'll most definitely get this second account disabled. You may not get disabled as quick as you think, but you will get it disabled! Watch out!
I guess I just got greedy then I realize the value of it and confessed. Now I really want to make money in Adsense so I sign my wife for that.
I would suggest that you consider putting one of your sites on YPN. *IF* you get banned, move them both to YPN or other PPC programs. Don't sweat it too much - take it how it comes. Frank
VERY LONG POST. KEY POINTS IN BOLD. Just look at it this way. Google is "too big for its britches", it can't do everything by hand so it takes a general computer algorithm approach. The drawback is computers have no common sense. The plus is they are predictable. If they do cancel you your likely to see your wife's account go down at the EXACT same time. (I've experienced this). If they have not yet cancelled you consider having a friend or relative receive mail for you at their address. If your email, physical address, domains, and phone numbers are all separate then their algorithms are powerless. A fair trade for common sense. Don't forget IP address, you'll have to be careful not to access both accounts from the same IP. If you use dialup, you should be quite safe on this issue. I think you were right to contact them, and perhaps a human will become involved in the transaction. However, that is doubtful. :-\ Good luck. I haven't tried it, but you may find that if you drastically abbreviate your address they won't be able to match the two. I made the mistake of assuming they wanted the income and would at least warn me of violations. Even after reading the horror stories I thought, "they can't be that bad". Then, just days before cutting checks with the current month accrual quite high... POOF... my wife and I both got the email simultaneously. The only thing I can figure is they didn't like the fact that I had put their ads into an IFRAME. Their servers often lag and mine do not so I didn't want to lose visitors because of it and the IFRAME worked fabulously. Now I'm running YPN, and I kinda hope Google crashes and burns because of their brutal bullying of publishers. YPN is just starting out with a bunch of very savvy SEO/PPC publishers trained well by Google and dropped just in time for Yahoo's PPC IPO. One last thing, CHITIKA is rotten if you have any significant overseas traffic. I've had days where I've given them 30,000+ page impressions and gotten 3 clicks and $2. I think Bidvertiser looks pretty sweet so far, the catch with a lot of these fringe programs is they require separate registration of each site you publish. Which is probably why they continue to sit on the fringe.
LOL... some lurker dinged me for that post and didn't even respond to it. Way to be a loser! An update on Bidvertiser!!! they worked some magic on the backend for me and things are really rolling now!!! I haven't gotten a full day through them yet but the payout is comparable to Google. YPN is still winning though for payout. I am now quite certain that my problems with Chitika are because of so much foreign traffic.
There are a few losers here who like to dish it out but can't take it. Don't take it personally. (It's not like it really matters anyway, it just shows you what their character is like)
update again on BidVertiser... Toss 'em. They actually cancelled my account. What a buncha twerps. I guess 30,000 impressions a day was too much for them. So my experiment in fringe programs results in THEY ALL SUCK!
