from adsense that is. I friend asked me for my url's...wanting to check out my two websites (both on the same adsense account). I then stupidly said, "hey when your on, click on ONE ad from google and another from adbrite). DO NOT CLICK ON MORE THAN ONE. He said ok, we continued talking...i then said again DO NOT CLICK ON MORE THAN ONE before we ended the phone call. What happened...yes...the guy clicked on all of them. ALL 10 text links/ads. Next day, email from the G...disabled. Gutted. Took all my monies ($45...maybe not as much as you guys...but i worked hard for it). Sent them an email, saying how stupid it was, begged forgiveness. Finally got a reply...they are not going to re-instate my account. B!tchin! My own fault i know...lesson learned...pity it was the hard way. So...my questions to all of you guys are: Can i change my ways...url...name and postal addy. Would Google take me back? I have seen the error of ways...google is THE ad company Really really stupid. Any advice would be great! Cheers!
yes change the postal address and u can apply from their when if u r not from u.s If you are from u.s means u must apply under ur company name why means there is problem with ssn in u.s
Thanks for the advice guys! Ok, i have bought some new domains...do you think the might G will catch on if the urls are similar? For example, the blog that was linked to G was: www.myname.blogspot.com My new url is: www.myname.com ??? Also, do i use a friends name/postal addy? Sorry, just wanted to make sure before i f$*k it up! Want to make sure there are no mistakes. Also, if my friend manged to screw my account...could potenial rivals not do it to me? If so, how do you protect yourself (can you?) Again...thanks as always!
I want to ask you guys a question. If one person who is doing online business and wants to defeat his competitor. So he takes a decision to attack via adsense. He visit that competitor's website and makes 10 clicks like "fracmo" does. Now the competitors adsense account will get suspended? Is this possible? I don't know how the google rules for this repeated clicks.
Just to clean things up here...i didnt click my competitors ads...my friend got my account disabled But yeah devdarsh...thats what i wanted to know too. How do i know if MY competitors didnt do the same and maybe it was their clicks that got me banned. Any of you guys shed any light on this (and my last post?)
Way back before I got seriously into AdSense (didn't see it's potential) I had someone click ads on a site over 100 times. Let me rephrase that as sounds Like I asked someone to commit click fraud! Someone I didn't know clicked ads around 100 times. Realised and emailed Google to inform them of the clicks (at the time was getting around 10 clicks a day, so 100+ stood out). Nothing happened, got the $10 from the obviously fraudulent clicks. I had a fair idea who did the clicks, I'd picked up a stalker who hated me and mentioned this in the email. My stalker (actually had 2 at one point!) thought I was comment spamming the same guestbooks etc... he was to ruin his adult backlinks (I wasn't) and guess he tried to damage my AdSense account! I think if you can show within reason you aren't to blame you should be alright. David Law
