The blog was probably marketed using less than ethical tactics. He seems to have moved on the Bidvertiser; I guess they have more flexible policies.
$95 in first month people take years to establish. Also if you think you havent committed any mistake then try other programs like - adbrite. But I am too doubtful to give a clean chit to you
i was gonna post questions regarding to adsense, but judging on how people are treated in this forum i guess theres no point if im going to get bashed like the op
You have to understand that threads like these get posted ten times a day. Some 14 years old, who can barely write in english, just copies/steal content from others, put it in a blog and buy some cheap traffic. Then they wonder why they're not millionaire yet, or why they're banned. In other words, they are just littering the web, diluting advertisers' money and decreasing EPC for all of us honest publishers, and then ask us for help, or worse, bash Google for being EV1LL!!!!11 one one It gets tiring.
ur site is only in FEB.. and u generate 95 bucks with 4 entries? I have about hundred posts and already google approved and just enabled starting yesterday.. so far 5 cents earning LOL
Well said! As a 'trainee' myself I've found DP very useful and have gained a lot of good points and ideas from it's members. But I know if I came along and started slating Google, Yahoo or any other without good reason I'd better be ready to be put in my place by the more experienced members.
pretty unfortunate. I've got a question to ask from you all. Friends please tell me if some competitor of mine, would start to click on my site, would this google ban my account just for the reason of inappropriate clicks?
Asking some one to click is not allow, the visitor will click on it if they interested on the adsvertiser. You shall read adsense TOS before you join
This is a bit different issue lifeplayer. This guy has not intentionally asked from somebody to click on his adds, but somebody has done it.
I really have learned some things from this thread. The one thing that sticks in my mind is that a blog can not make $95 in two months with adsense. Is this true? I would think it depended on the keywords that you were targeting and the traffic that you drive (Google included). While with Google, you might not get that kind of traffic, but with other methods you could ASAP (especially paid traffic). My only suggestion to the Banned is to switch to another monetizing method, such as Chikita or even your own banner/link rotation program of affiliate links. Yes, it is good to play nice with Google, but no, it is not the end of the world if they don't want to play with you anymore. Being a sore loser will never get them into another game however, and google domains are a bad idea to begin with for Adsense revenue. Period.
Yes this is possible with good research and content and a good marketing campaign. However in the case of this thread the Blog only had about 4 posts and not much else, so pulling in close to $100 from these posts isn't gonna happen, or if it does it'll most likely be done using sneeky or 'stealth' tacktics. A lot of mony cam be made from Adsense, but you need good content and understanding of the market or your competitors.
you lucky the didnt sue you using there trademark http://www.google-blog.tk/ so be happy with a banned account
yeah indeed probably, but be honest, do you guys all read every TOS or terms or whatever site has there rules in, from every site ?
Reading isn't the final factor here, it is the understanding of TOS that matters. And for normal people it is not really needed to read the lines such as "Don't click on your own ads" "Don't ask friends to click on your ads" In the end you got what you deserve. Enjoy your account suspension
