    Since your site already received good traffics and good conversion, you can still serve other ads like adbrite, Yahoo Publishers, bidvertiser, and much more.

    I think this is the case. It is clear that Google is experiencing financial problems like other companies, but "magically" they can show profits in the last quarters to all their shareholders....1+1=2 ..........Makes sense?

    In good times, this may not be a reason...in bad times, you better believe they can take ANY reason and chop you, and apparently, if your privacy policy wasn't appearing on ALL pages....that's a good enough reason.

    Oh and by the way, a top ranking "Make money online" blog that many of you guys worship here....found out it just got banned in Adsense a couple of days back.

    Won't mention the name, but some of you may know which blog I'm referring to. The owner was making very good money with it.

    Google is going on the hunt, and you guys better start shaking and trembling....

    OR

    Switch to another ad network....problem solved.

    I really find it funny that people would keep posting here... The case here is much simpler than you guys make it seem and the options are crystal clear.

    First of all - You have to post your URLs here so that other CAN give you the help you are asking for.

    Secondly - Who cares if he is lying or not? If he is lying, then he fooled some, he got caught by some - no big deal. If he is not lying, too bad for him. I see no point on you questioning whether he is telling the truth or him replying saying that he is. Then again, if I had to pick a side... I'd say that some things don't really add up. Not that I trust google to always make fair decisions, but I just don't see a reason why he won't post his URLs and earn an extra backlink.

    Last but not least - Google won't ban any advertisers just because they are making a lot of money through their sites.. You think that banning webmasters makes Google save money? Think again... If that was the case, then adsense wouldn't exist. Google gets paid for those clicks and gives us a fraction of the profit - so more clicks, more money for us AND Google.

    Options:
    1) Keep trying to get your account back - very hard and almost unheard of but you never know.

    2) Just use an adsense alternative. There are lots of them out there.

    The End >.< imo

    Where is the point? All I asked is help on how to get my account back by the information's I gave. Like i wrote before, I'm not trying to sell anything...

    If you believe, you can help and if you don't believe you can think what you want! I'm JUST asking for HELP and there are nice people at the forum who tried to help and gave me some information's about what to do. Of course it doesn't mean it will help but MAYBE it will, nothing to loose so I'll try.

    You made your END at the end and it's good to know. I'm not saying google is banning people or the ones earning good money but they do ban without a CLEAR information. They could at least write the reason like "your privacy policy is missing at all pages" or whatever the reason, is it too hard to write this such a big company like Google and have thousands of employees?

    Sorry to sound like a complete noob, but with adsense you have to have a privacy policy on your site?

    Yes, you need to have a privacy policy on all pages of your site. I know it may sound a little out to some of you, but Google can simply take that as an excuse to shut down your account.

    In mustaineoz' case, I think he did not have a privacy policy on ALL his pages. It might be the reason why he was banned.

    If I was earning 3-4K a month from my sites, I'd definitely take the trouble to go over them and maintain them in good order. Even if I have to take leave from my day job.

    I've seen people who got banned for things like their font cannot be seen clearly, or some other "thing."

    At least, no one could tell why, except that the font was very hard to read....

    the best thing to do is to contact google and to ask them why they are cutting you off... Anyway, with good traffic there are other ways to monetize your site...

    I hope i can make that much with my google adsense. lol

    I saw that he replaced his adds with other ads network like adbrite and affiliate marketing programs. That doesn't mean he got banned. He may be testing new things.

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. As others have already said, if you were making that kind of money via adsense per month, then you would have more than adequate traffic to do affiliate marketing. Try something else.

    Gone are the days where making a very lucrative income on Adsense. Google is King of search. If you don't play by their rules, they will catch up to you eventually.

    I believe Adsense was either blocked/disabled (makes no difference) on his blog.

    Coz checking up in an Adsense Preview Tool showed that no Adsense will display there anymore.

    I won't be surprised if he can unban his blog though.

    But for sure that keyword must be the most spammed of all keywords on the net.

    I think Google is sending a message to many people with this...

    It's a pity. Why not phone Google instead of emailing? 4K is NOT a small amount, anyway, the account is most important!
    I updated my Privacy Policy just now. So scared.

    Quoted for truth. My account was just suspended a few hours ago for the dating site in my sig. Not only that, it was ranked at 23 and now is not in the top 100 for that keyword. There is no pornography on the site. In fact. the page referred to in the email was the adult toy page. Yeah, apparently it's a gray area, but was within TOS (til now). (I know, I said this in a thread a minute ago that was more relevant, but I'm really tweaked about the ranking).

    Why should google even have an approval process for sites? Maybe it should just say, "roll the dice, we'll get back to you on that".

    People are wondering if the OP is lying or not about his situation. However, there have been quite a few other posts indicating similar "out of no where" suspensions. Think about the impact adsense can have on people's livelihoods. I know people will say, "don't put your eggs in one basket". However, even if you don't, you are still going to lose quite a bit of income that you may have come to rely on. I mean, if you make money from adsense, should pretend that you don't just to play it safe? It's still going to affect people.

    I don't need to hear that I should have known better in may case. I think the rankings will come back in time and it's not a full blown ban. I'm simply miffed about the whole thing and I really feel bad for others that have had similar experiences. I'm not going to start a crusade, but I think people should seriously consider other programs outside of adsense. Just my 2 cents.

    Thanks for listening.
