Amazing! Very good story! congratulations! Wondering if this is the first time Google unbanned somebody. Google have feelings. It must be a miracle or a school student on work experience I think Google will receive 1000s of e-mails like your's because of this thread. And Google Support will turn back into an automailing machine sending out messages: "We will reply soon. Very soon" - But of course never reply to anything. Have just checked my own sites for stuff agains Google's TOS. I'm not not taking any chances after reading this post. I think the moral of this story is not to risk loosing everything for a few $. Now, have a great day and enjoy your Adsense (-revenue). - William
Congratulations on being reinstated! I'm expecting Google to be flooded with apologies from other banned publishers any minute now.
i think the key to getting reinstated is having a website with great traffic also, not just apologies.
great did yaaar, i m very happy and i read this post 2 times hahaha.. congratulation for unbanned with adsense.
Only for getting reply this story made? Ethics is the best priority in every cases as well as online.
Yes i like it . This is the true story and is says be HONEST . SOME PEOPLE DONT KNOW ABOUT ADSENSE RULES .
This story is just a story Great work dude, we will make it a movie , mission adsense -unbanned- Hey newbies, dont ever believe this story, you are going to be banned for self clicks, you wont get your account back.
Google is smarter than you think. There are still many who think they can get away with black hats tactics ... it's just a matter of time before they catch up with you.
yea really nice thoughts about the adsense it might be a great lesson for those who tries to cheat google..
Nice, thanks for sharing. To all the publishers, i can only say that the people who have already banned by google follow this procedure if you believes it. And to the remaining publishers c how much we have to work hard to reinstall our account, if we put the same amount of industry, we can bring our page rank at least to 9. So don't commit to this dirty click fraud. And Remember Rome was not built in a Day!
wow thats quite the yarn, im glad you figured it out though. i had contemplated clicking my own links to see if i could get away with it but seems like i had better just stick to the tough road and learn to drive some more traffic. thanks for the story!
