I never knew Google is this cheap. I apply for the AdSense, they accept my website within 2 hours and I place their ads on my site. After few days I received email saying "You have Copy Write Content on your site so we please remove it" So I remove that content and place the ads again. So it was going well for first 1 and half (May and June) month I made $3000 +/-, They send me PIN # so I did all the stuff so I can receive my payment. Next month (July) I made 1500 +/- and on 23rd July they say they have Send the Payment. But I didn't receive payment till 18th of August so I went to account and ask them to reissue the check.. So instead of Reissuing my Check they Ban my account by saying it's against TOS. So What they were doing for 3 months when ads were displaying on my site, and now when they have to send me the payment they say I had violate their Rules. So they just took my $5000+ for May, June, July, August.. So I am still not clear with lots of question: 1) Why Do they accept the website at first place? 2) Why can't you give me reason what did I do wrong? 3) Why Ban at the time when they had to send payment why not in 3 months while ads was displaying on my website. I also want to make sure that I NEVER click on my own ads or told anyone to click there. I have Forum so I disable the ads for my username so when I go on site I don't even see the ads. So now tell me How many of you had same story? And also now I don't wonder why Google has so much money in their bank account!
Finally a success story! Woot! They have never made to this day more than 10 million dollars a year , they trade at 400x earnings (the say ) their books bunk but the fact is they don't have a lot of cash when you take the employees overhead. Currently liquid google has around (30 million). What else do you want to know?
It's scary hearing this sort of stories. Hope I won't get banned out of the blue...they should at least provide us with a reason.
I had a terrible experience with Adsense that kinda went like your story D3SI but the money was not even close to your numbers!! Anyways, I did everything right and after 3 months they banned my account for click fraud!! I personally think that they have a percentage of people that they just hurt if they feel that your site is solely set up for Adsense so they charge the advertisers the money and then hurt the promoters such as us! They say that they return the money but I don't believe them a bit!! I don't think that I've answered your question but i just wanted to point out that you are on of many from what I hear!! I DO NOT like Adsnse!!!
Why did it take so long to get first payment. You should have been paid before that. The pin should have been sent long before they sent it also.
Google gets paid first by the people using Adwords, and we, publishers, get a fraction of that amount. It seems logical to me that Google should have no difficulty in paying us that money, regardless of their annual revenue.
Hahahah one more target for google i made over 5000$ in my first month then in google my account got bannded out of the blue moon they said u broke out tos u have copyright stuff u have this & tht it was video uploading site said it clearly no copyrighted or illegal stuff allowed to uplod & also no adult stuff they still banned it so dnt use google guys a real story if u dnt trust me go try them ur choice
I didn't make nearly that much, but I got banned for getting click-bombed... Adsense is clueless when it comes to...pretty much anything...
Hearing all these success stories I am starting to get inspired! I think I will start a adyield account! Well you are what you eat or in this case, hire... If they don't have the programing knowledge in place to operate a succesful way of measuring or detecting click fraud they shouldn't exist. It really is so easy to just filter the bad stuff , facts are that their system just wont register anything at all if they do that or worst only real people's clicks would be counted... ADS-CLICK ADS-CLICK ADS-CLICK come on everyone chant with me.........
Unfortunately a lot of what Google do is automated so they have to judge how things are going by the feedback of their software - this takes time and it looks like it's taken a few months for their software to mark your site for someone's attention. If it's a new site making that much money it's bound to raised their suspisions at some point. So, they came along and had a look at your site and found you were breaking the TOS and witheld your payment. Sounds bad, but that's business IMHO. Just see it as a learning experience and move on to your next project. I'm sure you'll be able to make good money in no time at all. Don't ever give up, keep on fightin' Cheers, p.
See same thing I don't understand they accept Site at first place if its against their TOS ? Do they even look at site before they accept it..?
i Am broke rite now i invested all my money in my site thinking i will get my google check end of this month & will pay of the server bills & pay for serevr for 12 months now i have nothing to pay my server bills site down found some sponsors they said yea put our google ads we will sponsor you & shit but wen it gets banned again & they dnt get their cheqe they will not sponsor me & leave me in the middle of the road so i didnt even take their offer
My Site is not new.. I never try AdSense before so I just want to try it and I have more then 7000 Unique users per day on my site and 50,000+ view. I used to get 400 to 500 Clicks per day so I don't think it's much for this kind of traffic.
forum is dangerous place to put ads because you don't control the content that people put up. They banned you right before you received the check because that's when google thoroughly checks sites. The money they got from your clicks is not kept by google but refunded to the advertisers.
D3Si, Sorry to hear. IMHO, I would think Google should at least send people like the check of the money your site had earned previously.
That's incorrect and they would lose more money keeping the money because they would lose huge corporate advertisers that put in thousands for adwords. I also use adwords and have gotten money refunded back to my account
