@OP Google is not going to care whether or not you participated in a revenue sharing forum. They'll most likely say you should've been more careful about using your ID to participate in such a program. Especially since you have absolutely no control. I do wish you luck in getting your account back!
wow! $58 in one month! I wish i had such luck here ok i am not pointing out anyone but here what some might do to exploit dp's revenue sharing. when someone starts a thread and then logs out and visits the forum without logging in there is like 50-50 chances of him seeing his own ads. so he goes and clicks on it and gets rich fast.. except that google bans him ! Thats possible for newbies but i don't understand how old members are getting banned here.
I totally agree. The issue is that everybody who uses adsense to make a living and participates in the revenue sharing could get their accounts banned from invalid clicks on DP even if their sites are 100% clean.
Sure it's easier to ban than to reinstate or spend time looking at the facts or even answering banned people emails other than prewritten stuffs: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=101129 Perhaps I should be worried about my own participation in DP althought I'm not in the top 20 of posters and have only made... $0.93 in over 4 months.. That's not too bad if I get to keep them
hey did more people get banned this way - i got banned for using GAS(Google AdSense) on my blogspot blog. weird.
I'm sorry to hear about your ban Mad4. Also thanks for posting the ongoing contacts you're having with Google - it's really interesting to see how they are treating the situation. Threads like this scare me soooo much... I'm working really hard to try and increase my AdSense earnings and if all my hard work goes to waste I dunno what I'd do.
It would be nice to know what he did wrong if anything. How can someone do the right thing if you don't know whats wrong? I know that sounds almost childish when I read it back but under the circumstances it seems to apply...
Dude you gotta be kidding me... How on earth did you manage to earn $58 just from rev share that too in just a month??? That is quite impossible. I am here for exact a year, I have used Rev Share for around 5 months (Before putting Dominic's Charity ID). And all I made was $3.5 I dont think anyone else is getting anything more than few cents or near a dollar in the whole month from Rev share.. Now please tell us the truth...
I was thinking about participating in the DP revenue sharing but I guess I need to think twice after reading this thread.
Do you know about Dominic?? He runs a charity organisation. Almost all senior members here use his pubID for Rev Share.. Its been over a year, with so many people using his ID, with so many impressions his account is intact... I dont think Rev Share has any problem at all. What I feel fishy here, I know many members using Rev share. I, myself, had used it but $58 in a month time only from rev share is something, I can not believe anyone can make without doing something fishy... Ads here hardly get any clicks. Few Cents to few dollars (About 2 or 3), if you were lucky enough to get few clicks.
Same time he got his message from google, I also did! I had just prior to that logged into my account and my ctr on DP was 50%. And the number of clicks were enormous and so were the earnings. Google also turned down my appeal (probably the same time as mad4). So basically, I have now lost everything with adsense. Seems google does not care that I was using a revenue sharing account.
My first thoughts when i read this thread was.... Maybe the OP didn't make enough money with Adsense and this is why. If I remember correct people that do not generate at least $100 after 3 months get their accounts closed.
