All of the sudden I am getting this: An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as it is associated with an unapproved application. For more information about your application, please review the message we sent to the email address you provided with your application. To my knowledge I have violated no terms, and I never got any email from google. I have been an honest adsense user for quite some time. I did recently start a new site and my traffic was up and I was earning a real income. I am flabberghasted. Oh, and there are adsense ads on my site right now.... Help?!
'associated with an unapproved application' that suggests to me that it could simply be an error and there is nothing to worry about. try logging in again a bit later.
Man, I hope so. I recently started promoting and working seriously on a site and I have ads running to bring traffic. I will be out all that I invested in getting things going over the last 2 months, time, money.....Christ. You would think it would say something else if I was disabled, right? And the fact that ads are still on my site. If I was in violation they would disable the ads, correct?
If your account was disabled then it would say no account exists for this login, or something of that sort, I would imagine.
I just got the email they claim invalid clicks, which is simply not true. I have appealed. I just spent a TON of cash promoting my site and now when the traffic rolls in there is no adsense. This is a NIGHTMARE.
No there isn't... you should install ad logger and see if there's some evil person clicking on your ads over and over again or if your pub-ID was taken and placed in an illegal site.
No, there is no problem in advertising. I know for sure, that AdWords, Yahoo and Adcenter won't bring you in troubles by their traffic. I'm not sure about AdBrite, though - never used it. If it was not traffic, it was either your content (sensitive) or some specific actions you haven't informed us about. Don't take me wrong, I just want to dig for the reason.
No problem, thanks. No, it was not content. I have had the adsense team look at my site in the past for ad targeting issues, and never had a problem. I would give you my site here, but I took it out of my sig after this incident. It is either sabatoge, or adsense simply saw a big leap in my traffic and clicks and suspended me. I went from 200-500 uniques a day to 3-5K a day, and was banned within 2 days. I sent them traffic logs, so hopefully a human will actually look and see that it is a misunderstanding. I won't give up on this, as I didn't do anything wrong. I will be wrtiting emails, letters, and calling on the phone until I get a good answer. I had $300 in my account and was at $80 a day when suspended. I had spent about $100 on ads, and still have ads running that I pre-paid, and now no adsense to get my money back. Beware, it can happen to you. I thought it couldn't happen to honest publishers. Adlogger may help IF I get back in.
Makes me worried since I can't install Adlogger on my popular site... I will have to see if I can solve the problem this weekend so hopefully I won't have to go through a similar experience. Sucks that there isn't an automatic "suicide" of the adsense ads when they are clicked repeatedly! They should really consider a collapse of the ads after the same IP has clicked it 2-3 times!
I advise you to do something to prevent any future problems. Knowing how how easy it is to get canned, and how unexpected it is, in hindsight I should have explored preventative measures. Then again, google should not treat their publishers like garbage. And yes, I know that there are lots of cheaters, but they also seem to be mistreating lots of honest publishers as well.
