They way google's terms are writtner you can get banned at any time for anything. It's just up to them when and why, even if you are doing everything right, if they want to ban you they will find a reason.
Lesson to be learned: - Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Monetize your website using a multiple ad sources - Always have a backup plan in case you need to make changes overnight - Don't use your Affiliate account (or even ePassporte/PayPal/Payoneer) as a bank account. As soon as you hit your minimum withdraw your money even if it's $50.01.
One thing I would be very interested in is.... If you had a deal with Google to market their ads and google profited from the traffic you generated what gives google the right to keep your cut of the money if it wasn't refunded to the customer? I understand if they believed the ad clicks were fraudulent and they refunded the earnings back to the customer then terminated your account without pay. But if they *believed* your site was violating their agreement and they terminated your account without the earnings refunded back to the customer that doesn't sound legal. I wonder how this would/could pan out in the court system.
Google has a monopoly, whats to stop them from buying the ad service your using now, when i first started with Adsense, Adwords and Youtube they where not owned by google, what if google ban your website what good will it do? Google's monoploy of the internet has gotten to big and people need to make a stand against them by placing this on there websites <meta name="google" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"> and boycotting google services.
Google doesn't own any of the opposing ad networks. There's nothing to stop them from doing anything in the future. Bottom line is...you don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you had 500 million dollars you wouldn't put it in one single bank account and say "Well...pnc will probably buy capone anyway...". Learn what a monopoly is first. Google is not a monopoly.
I think you will find that by Google buying and owner all the major networks like Adsense, Adwords and Youtube, google and other products have created a monopoly where you no other option but to use them, same as Google dominates the search market by 90%, so the reason for anti-monopoly legislation is to prevent profiteering by companies like google being able to dictate the market without reference to supply and demand or cost, as all of Google's services come free of such legislation, yet you think that is irrelevant and it seems entirely reasonable for them to dictate the terms under which you use them.
this a lie or he scammed the money. It's that simple... OP, ur not the first to make these claims or the first that felt compelled to come to DP to bitch about it....
Again..learn what a Monopoly is before you comment. A Monopoly is NOT due to a company touching multiple markets. The definition of a Monopoly is "The exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service." Good isn't a Monopoly. You have TONS of alternatives and competitors. It's only true that Googles services are more popular and common. You have other options.
Not matter how much bullshit you write about google not being a Monopoly, the E.U. have officially classed google as a Monopoly and are involved in three antitrust investigations and have been find $45 million over fiddling search results to promote its own services.
that happen to me last year checque $11k and $3000 so dont use adsense, they will not allow you to be rich, only google can be rich , im serious with this statement
Do you have any idea how much of a burden it is to pay out $20,000 in a lump sum? Don't you think there are some annoying tax implications? If you withdraw that much money, your earnings will be manually reviewed and if you did the least bit of shady linking or keyword optimizing, you'll be slapped. Rule of thumb: Withdraw at every $900
Did you write the info about Google? Just a correction, email Google search comes out hotmail as the first ranked.
this just isnt fair becuse you delivered a service for them they should have paid you just a question whaere does your traffic comes from?
its not fair stealing you ,you made a servicec for them a question where does your trafficcomes from ?
Google is really a complicated company,even same had happened with one of my friend...i guess we don't have a solution to it yet.
Most of the traffic is direct traffic(20%), from facebook, twitter (70%), and some search traffic (10%) I got million of uniques in a day that's how to earn such an amount even with a poor CPC rate
