Adsense Deactivations- Who's lost money?

    Hi Guys,

    New here. I was wondering if any of you have had Adsense deactivate your account and lost money? Did you ever get money from Google?

    Google recently deactivated one of my accounts with 50K in it. Money...gone.

    Anyone have a similar experience?

    Yes you will lost all the money in your account because Adsense will refund all the money to advertiser. Did you try to appeal yet? if you are lucky enough they may re-consider enable your account.

    I know they return the money to the advertisers. I had a meeting with Google and toured the new NYC Google building. They set up a new account for me but never returned any of the previously lost money.

    It's funny that the first email they send you says that they have returned all the money to the advertiser.
    They don't even warn you before doing it.

    I got my account suspended because someone mass clicked my ads, though I only had like $2000 in it at the time.

    Back in 2005 I had my account disabled but later in 2006 I emailed google stating my stupidity in Clicking my own ads and how I had Matured as a webmaster and they re-instated it I think this is the best you can hope for at the moment,do you know why you had your account disabled?

    Then why don't you go and ask one of the Google staff there since you go there so often.

    I did. They said they said the money was gone. I'm just curious if anyone else has had different experiences.

    Well who else is going to give you a more accurate answer than the Google staff themselves? None of us works for Google as far as I know.

    He is a liar PM. About multiple things I wouldn't waste any time with this guy (accept to make fun of him). This is probably somebodies second account anyway...

    IF this were true, I think it might be a good indicator that your not getting paid.
    Then do a search. This has been asked a million times here...

    I'm a lair? Harsh crowd.

    I've browsed this forum for a long time to get insight to the tips/tricks people use to optimize Adsense.

    I just asked a simple question about deactivations.

    Here is a pic for Indy. It's from the 9th floor roof terrace at Google. That's where a lot of the employees and clients eat. They have some pretty amazing food options inside the building. They also just put in a Korean Taco truck that they shipped up the truck elevator (the building use to be the old Port Authority building). But yea...I'm lying.

    LMFAO! Is that picture suppose to prove something? lol You could have got that from anywhere. Go ahead and keep posting, everybody can see you're a liar and making yourself look stupid...
    That's why your account is so new. Well, this one anyway...
    If that were true you would have seen the thousands of times this has been posted by others...
    Next...

    Yes, the money is gone for sure.. Maybe some lawsuit can get you some portion of refund, but its not sure as you sign up with Adsense with accepting their TOS..

    I know, me too. But it's almost insulting that he thinks we are all that stupid.
    Oh well, he's not the first n00b to get banned from Adsense and come to DP to talk crap and tell lies.
