I think it is not good to do matinanace on your website if you have adsense on it as i was setting up my site google said to many impressions from publisher i did not click as that is a violation but i was adding links and typing Just becareful with this program. I am trying to get reinstated but from what i have heard they are mean.
Listen, instead of keeping a grudge (as it seems based on your message) just try to write them and explain your situation if you are really interested in getting back into the program, otherwise there are many other affiliates that you may want to try out.
Surely Google should have something built into click/impression verification systems which compensates for this? It just reeks of sheer arrogance on their part really. "If you want to keep your account, it's our way or the highway, bitch!"
I Am The Big Brother - You Are All Just Drops Of Water In The Sea. Don't You Get It - I Can Be Mean. You Are Banned For Reading This.
Your banned you will not get your account back as i have experienced just don't worry about adsense too much try other affiliate programs and publisher programs.
If you are testing your new website layout, you might be reloading your website pages again-n-again. And if these pages contain Google Ads, each time your reload your page, you make a request to Google Ads Server for a new set of ads. Certainly Google is unaware that you are testing your website and it might even penalize your account for "click-fraud" since the IP requesting ads remains same. And if in the worst-case scenario, you might accidently click on your own ads. And these extra "ad impressions" will also chance your CTR data. One simple way to avoid this serious problem is to remove the Adsense code altogether from your page before testing. But this may not be the best solution as your Google Ads are an important part of your layout. So here are a few simple but effective workarounds: 1. Instead of using Adsense code, add a static graphic (jpg image) with the same dimesions as your adsense code. (Google itself provides static images of various ad formats.) 2. Modify the value of google_ad_client to something like "pub-googleIamTesting" 3. Add another line to Google Adsense code google_adtest = "on"; Don't forget the semicolon. 4. Though there is no official comment, it is safer to remove the google_ad_channel variable. Or contact Google Adsense Team with your query. Google folks are very quick to respond. Google AdSense policies require that websites displaying Google ads be active and not under construction. When your site is complete and active, you may add the AdSense ad code.
