    I got an email from google about a week ago.

    I could not reply earlier since i was on vacation.

    While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently
    displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our
    policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on
    pages such as

    Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises
    the ads in any way, for instance, by formatting neighboring content to
    look similar to the ads, or by making ads look like games or forum
    threads. Additionally, publishers may not attempt to associate
    specific images with the individual ads appearing on their sites. Such
    an implementation may confuse users who assume that the image is
    directly related to the advertiser's offerings.

    Please make any necessary changes to your web pages in the next 3
    business days. We also suggest that you take the time to review our
    program policies (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies) to ensure
    that all of your other pages are in compliance.

    Once you update your site, we will automatically detect the changes
    and ad serving will not be affected. If you choose not to make the
    changes to your account within the next three days, your account will
    remain active but you will no longer be able to display ads on the
    site. Please note, however, that we may disable your account if
    further violations are found in the future.

    Ads stopped showing up on the site since monday and I mailed them.

    I have fixed the pages on my site and also mailed them the details of
    the changes.

    But no reply from them yet.

    How long will it take for them to reply ?

    I have been using adsense on multiple sites for over 2 years now.

    Im feeling disappointed.

    Please help me.

    ads are still showing up on other sites of mine

    If your site was blocked try changing your IP, you can do that buy calling your hosting provider or your ISP provider which ever one works

    if you read the email again, you will see that google wants you to update your site to make it compliant with their policy. once you update your site and make it compliant, google will automatically notice the change and unblock

    I had excatly the same for my site in my sig. I missplaced ads and Google banned the site. I corrected the issues then must have sent about 10 emails to them asking for ads to be enabled again - but have heard nothing at all.
    I think thats it - once you've had your site banned. :(

    Just be patient and give it some time. I'm sure once you have corrected the issue and ensure that everything is ok, the ads will again start to appear again. You have to understand google dictate all the rules so you can't just force them.

    A simple solution that i can offer is, try creating a new adblock and add it in one of your pages and then the adbot will come searching for it, automatically your account should get enabled or it will in few hours

    Try it, this should work-but do make sure that there are no other violations so that next time when they review it you should be in green zone:)

    Not at all. Since you didn't do the changed in 3 days the site has to be manually unban I think. So you have to wait till someone attend to yr mail and do it. They will unban it you just have to wait.
