the ads showing up on his blog are purely psa's. i was once banned by google but had my account reinstated because i did nothing wrong. as long as you are innocent then you don't have a thing to worry about.
I got a warning for today for Google Adsense as well. Like Judd I am very honest the way I run my adsense sites. Luckly it was warning and I did not get banned. Still not sure what is up it.....
Judd If the site is still serving ads you are not banned The email you received does not look like other Google banned emails I have seen, More than likely a phishing attempt. Check the headers and write Google that it appears someone is trying to steal your adsense account. If you need help contact me as I have an Adsense Rep I can speak to about your situation. Peace
I got the same type of email today. Do you really think it is a scam because the headers looked fine.
once you get banned, it can take a few hours for the ads to stop appearing. that is not instantaneous. not being able to log in is not a good sign. Since you've done the appeal, all you can do is wait it out. or put up ypn or adbright or something in the mean time.
Feel sorry for you. I think you are genuine from what I can from your posting on DP over the last few months.
This is sad, but don't give up. Use YPN, CJ, chitika or any other way you can think of to use your sites. The future will be template based kind of advertising. And all the sales will be done locally on the publisher's site IMO. With PPC there is always this threat to get banned.
I get more and more stressed out every time I hear about people being banned without personally doing anything wrong, especially when it's payment week. Feels like you never know if you'll get a check or a ban.
Judd, Sorry to hear this. However, as others have said, it's not the end of the world. If things don't work out, I would seriously take a look at CJ.
imnotadoctor I have written my Adsense Rep for Judd and asked her to look into this thread and what is happening with his sites... When I got a Gboys letter...they had already stopped ad serving In this case he had the email first and later the ads were stopped... I do not know if my rep will respond to me for him...I might be pulling at straws with writing her.... but all she can say is she wont discuss it with me.... Did you click the link in the email by any chance?? I am wondering if this is a phishing expidition like we see for paypal and ebay???? I'll keep in touch Clint
