I've read that Google is more hesitant to ban some of the bigger publishers. I assume this is true. If so, how much do you need to make until you get on Google's good side?
That's not what I asked. Google loosens the rules for large publishers. I want to know how much do you need to earn before you earn Google's trust.
If you get 20 million page views a month, you can get premium AdSense service. https://www.google.com/adsense/premium-overview
Like most businesses, if you are making them big dollars then they will turn the other cheek. As for an exact number , who knows?
Even if you are a large publisher, you still need to abide by the premium TOS. If you don't google will eventually close your account, even if you are making millions. But again, if you are making millions you won't bother doing something wrong. Peace,
Google bans people seemingly for no reason. I feel strongly that they are more hesitant to ban someone who is a large publisher. They will atleast extensively review the situation and/or give a warning. Smaller publishers just get axed with no warning or reason as to why.
I concur. Google has sent me nastygrams concerning content on two of my sites. I'm sure that if I were a smaller publisher, they would have just booted me.
I'm glad to hear it. I'd hate to think that an individual publisher could spend thousands of hours of time building and developing their site and AdSense only to find that when they make the big dollars $XX,XXX+/month that they could lose it all over some minor accidental infraction.
IMO it depends more on the type of violation than it does on the amount of money you make. Also, a joke/riddles site (there are plenty of these out there) might get banned without a prior warning than a medical students one. If you have a site that is worth an investigation on part of the Adsense support staff then you will most likely get a warning.. otherwise you'd get the suspension letter.. though reinstatement is an option there if you really were (in their opinion) innocent. As for the amount of money you should make in order to get some special treatment, I believe it is above $2K/month.
