Hi all folks... just wanted to share my tears with someone else, Google disabled my adsense account for invalid activity and i've lost 15k USD that i've got in it. Of course i didn't buy traffic and didn't cheat, but something went wrong. I've advertised my site on a TV show, so my visits weren't from google search and didn't have refferral. I'm appealing right now and that's why i cant give you more info about it for now. It's really really like the world falling apart, it sucks! 2 months of HARD work, geez... I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
Adsense do not ban based on number of visitors or due to spike in visitors, generally they have a problem when those visitors clicks dont convert well for their advertisers, yes then you can have a problem, all the best with your appeal.
There are relatively few cases where the publisher isn't at fault. I hope you wrote a good appeal- adsense staff will only read it ONCE
google adsense policy is very strictly and goole not banned adsense account any reason u must generate tha irrelevant clicks and next google block the adsense account google block the acount when 5 and more clicks one location
Oh No !!! Its a big amount, and it is useless to cry over split milk. Now you should be careful next time.
It sounds so true! Google favor advertisers too much and that's one of the reasons why it has the largest client base than any other ad network. I don't know how helpful the appeal will be because it sucks in terms of customer support for publishers, still i wish you luck.
Well, you know that Google doesn't like direct traffic he likes only organic traffic (from search engines). If you reached that amount of traffic to make that amount of money I'm shore you can find another advertiser who will pay at list half of that amount or maybe more, if your traffic is really that good.
How much is the cost to reached 15k ? If you can earn 15k within 2 months and no income for the previous moths, there will be an issue as well. Hope you will get your money back.
WOW! That really sux!... And very interesting at the same time... Do let us know the outcome of your appeal please. GC
I was banned too for invalid activity and lost over $5000 dollars. It changed my committment and dedication to online business, till now I havent found anything profitable. God is in control
Well. No one knows why google suspend a site or ban an account, they have their own criteria but the best way to be in safe side is to continuously study their updated privacy pages and TOS. And, i have heard, google is banning sites and account which have no useful contents which people are in search and codes which are placed in micro niches crappy sites
"Invalid Activity"? Let's see ... did you encourage people to click your ads in the TV spot? You can always sue Google for your money back. One guy did it and succeeded.
15K is hell lotta money i tell you. You should contact Google and try to reach them. Like Cbrooker said.. I think i used to read story about a person who sue google for banning his account. Yes, he won the case. You should take a look or search about it. I'm not gonna giving you advice ( i doesn't know all about adsense thing) because i never actually make adsense as my mainstream of income. But kudos, hope you can get your money back. :: DocSynch ::
