Hello, Today I received an email by Google saying that my site (www.scoreinthebox.com) has violated the Google policy and stop serving ads on my site. The email didn't have a clear explanation and I have been reading the Google Policies. I don't understand which rule I have violated. The only thing I might think causes this is the adult sites that entered by users to my site. Can any experts here in DP help? Thank you very much.
Thank you learn2earn for your fast reply. I am sending google an email regarding this. For now, I think I am gonna replace with AdBrite ads.
I don't see any problem with the site. You should contact them asking for more details so that you can rectify the problem.

Yes your site seems clean. I don't think you have violated any terms. But Google must have seen something that is why they banned. Contact them to resolve this problem.
Your site has no content. You're just pulling numbers from various sources. That isn't the content Google is looking for. Plus, as you've mentioned, there are adult websites on there.
Is this the reason? Can someone confirm this because I have seem many websites without 'privacy policy'. Thanks.
It IS required...it was in the TOS that you agreed to when you signed up (see link in my sig) That may not be the only reason, but it's a valid one. Promotion of adult sites (as mentioned above) could also be a reason.
I missed this. Yes, this could be the reason. Your site is not allowed to link to adult sites and you are responsible for any content contributed to your site by your users. Also check and see what other kinds of sites people have contributed: "pay to" programs? Not allowed. Sales of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs (including herbal drugs)? Not allowed. Gambling sites or casinos? Not allowed. Since most of your content is just links to other sites, those links are going to weigh heavily against you. Read the program policies. It is clear that you need a privacy policy. Google even gave reminders running up to the deadline (April 2009) for having an up-to-date privacy policy.
This is why I hate adsense, They just keep on banning websites without giving specific reason why they banned it.
