Hello, Our specialists regularly review partners participating in the AdSense network. After a thorough review of your account, our specialists found that your business model is not a good fit for the AdSense program. As we're no longer able to partner with you, your AdSense account and any related AdSense accounts will be disabled in 7 days, and ad-serving will cease at that time. Please rest assured that you will receive payment for all outstanding earnings in accordance with the standard AdSense payment schedule. However, you are not eligible for further participation in the AdSense program. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, The Google AdSense Team I'm sincerely building my website, write my own articles and selling my own ebooks. I do advertise using adwords to bring traffic into my website. For your information i'm in the electronic troubleshooting industry. I joined adsense since 2004 and till now only they said "your business model is not a good fit for the adsense program". I have sent an emailed to them explained about my nature of business. What should i do to get back the account? or should i look for other alternative? Is it really in google history there were websites that is not a good fit for the adsense program? Thanks in advance! ACT
That is really insane. You have been a member since 2004 and you have got such type of notice now. Is it due to the number of page impressions lower than the minimum prescribed (I have read about this somewhere in the revised TOS? Not sure!) or your earning is too low?? Let me see how the google responds.
I think that's likely to be the problem. But you know, a while ago I got an email from adwords sayin 'we notice you aren't running adwords campaigns at the moment, can we help?' I replied that because I had adsense on the site I thought it was risking my adsense account being closed for arbitrage. And they sent back saying 'there is no connection between the two' (sorry I can't remember the exact words) I didn't restart an adwords campaign though just to be safe.
Thats really sad. After 4 years of hard work... Try to get your account back, explain G Team that you're not going to use Adwords etc... Keep us updated on this one.
that is insane..... in fact make sure it is google and not you're competitors, trying to bugger you up
My adwords cost per click went to $10.00. After reading this thread, I'm afraid the adsense on this site may have caused the adwords problem. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
it looks like adsense grew to a point which is beyond google's expectation and they can't handle this kinda growth. so they are finding and coming up with lame excuses to drop publishers.
I think link farms and parked dmains aren't a good fit for Adsense. A site with real, genuine content should be welcomed with open arms!
You are right Guidyy! "That's the point. Google doesn't like arbitrage anymore" Here is the message i got from google (they did replied) "More generally, we feel that the business model you've employed does not comply with the spirit of Google's Landing Page Quality guidelines, and does not offer users a positive Google ads experience, and as such, we're unable to continue to partner with you. Additionally, users were driven to such pages via AdWords advertising, but our specialists found that the pages generally did not provide substantial and useful information to the end-user." I guess google don't like arbitrage anymore no matter how solid content your page is, how many photos or videos you put in and as long as your landing page have adsense in it you will have problem. The purpose for me of using adword was entirely to get visitors (i know googles's rule and have no intention or whatever to cheat google) and i did put in my own writing (about 400 to 500 words), photos and my ebook link too and have adsense ads in it. The content that i wrote is super targeted for example " how to use a multimeter" keyword, i wrote everything about how to use multimeter from my own experienced together i slot in photos of multimeter taken by me. The article took me about 2 hours to complete it. I gave the best to the visitors and yet google says "did not provide substantial and useful information to the end-user." I really do not know what google wants? That's why the only reason they stop my account could be arbitrage! I have emailed google again telling them my intention was good and they could check out my blog (i blog eveyday about electronics subject) and all of my electronics articles and willing to change anything yes anything to get back the account. I even told them i will be going home to recheck again my website to see if any pages is not complying to google's policy. (Perhaps it could be too late). If i have 200 pages of solid contents (articles all from my hardwork)and because i have missed out some pages that did not comply to adsense policy and got banned i think i do not deserved that. At least they have email me first to give me a warning and i'm ever ready to rectify the problem. As mentioned by a lots of people, no one wants to mess around with google because google never failed to pay you every month! Human do made mistakes and google have changed lots of their policy and its my ignorance that made me lost my nice income. My greatest error was advertise using adwords with adsense in it. Sad! Hope google will review my case and will update you all again. Have a good day! Best Regards, ACT
thats not true... i see lots of site using adsense.. they are still using adwords to bring traffic to the site.... and why it wouldn't be allow.. you are paying for a service...
You are allowed to use adwords to drive traffic to your adsense-monetized site as long as the site itself provides useful and high quality content. I'm sorry but I don't really buy anybody claiming to receive an email of this sort from Google while supposedly having a good site with quality content.
