banned from adsense, any idea?

So I got banned from adsense (click fraud) about a year ago because I purchased bulk traffic (yes my biggest mistake in starting) and someone they all decided to click on my ads. It was about 10k visits and about 300 clicks, from the same IP address since it was a PTC website (again big mistake, dont ever do this).

They won't let me re-open an account and I had no idea this was going to happen. My intention was not for the folks to click the ads but to drive traffic and bring up my Alexa ranking. The service sucked, totally failed and It made my account go bad.

Are there any GOOD alternatives to AdSense that I can use?

I've now moved away from that blog and domain and am starting a marketing firm so any ideas would be great for some alternatives.

I've seen AdBrite but it's not that great.

Any help would be nice!

 

Try searching.

 

Thanks, just found an invalid click report appeal on their support site. Just tried to explain my situation, ill keep you guys posted.

Hopefully I Can get this back up and running, it would be embarassing as Im about to become a certified google adwords partner and have a banned account. LOL!

 

Yeah...try to search

 

didnt you read to term. You are not allowed to have your adsense acount related to PTC sites. Thats a big mistake

 

If you have any money in that account then ask why deactivated. You must follow the ad-sense guide line

 

Thanks guys, just sent my appeal!

 

Here is why this doesn't make sense. What if you were pissed of at someone. Couldn't you just direct bulk traffic to their website and get them banned as well? How does Adsense even know you purchased the traffic.

How long were you an Adsense publisher before this happened?

 

Yea directing traffic is easy, I can signup and put your domain name to direct it there. I think they look at the refferer and sources.

I was using Google AdSense for 2 months before then.

 

i was banned by adsense too for invalid clicks too!
i had just traded links with a few high traffic bikini sites and my traffic went from an average of 150 to 5,000 UV's a day!
and i guess i got a lot of clicks from all the new traffic! after 3 years with google adsense,they shut me down with no warning!
too bad because nothing pays anything close to adsense.

 

llcoolrobb and other experts, can you please tell me, why google banned you for trading link with another site ? I thought that link exchanging are allowed? some site linked back toy you, anyproblem? in this case my competitors can put my link on another site, and then i'll be banned !

Please make this issue for me clear, Is link exchanging allowed in Google Adsense ?

 

ask your mom/dad/wife? to make an account for you.
