Google Adsense is Mostly Dead in My Country

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by sniper2008, Aug 4, 2012.

    Hello all,

    I would like to say that Google Adsense is mostly dead in my country, Indonesia.

    We, Indonesian, have received a very bad treatment from google, which makes no sense.

    Maybe you usually hear that Indonesian got banned google account because of "Invalid Activity", and yes, the mass banning account happened again two days ago. Over and all over again.

    Right now some even said that google adsense is scam. This does not make sense too, because I think Google Adsense has been proven as the best PPC company ever.

    Right now I rather believe that google hates Indonesian. Even if we have our sites purely work 100% white hat and no violations against Google TOS, we eventually find our accounts got banned.

    Some think that there are too many blackhat methods in Indonesia too.

    There is no point of this thread started, I just want to write some here regarding this unusual activity of Google Adsense. Regardless of this overwhelming situation in my country (adsense), I hope this thread is able to notify us for goodies.

    yeah this sounds good. makes sense. they have tighten the security for my country.
    if so, why did google ban almost indonesian users? even the ones that play with the rules and no TOS violation - not scammers and blackhaters got banned. white hat players got banned too. I think google likely think that all indonesian are generally doing fraud clicks and invalid activity.

    anyway this is just one thing in my mind. I do respect Google Adsense very much, maybe they act like this because they are too many frauders :D

    No offense. My yahoo account got hack 2 times last couple of years by Indonesians. Google might have enough reason to put some limitations on Indonesian account holders and I feel sorry for you.

    Agreed, Google is making money out of it so why would they kill there own earnings? The only reason is because people don't play the game by the rules so instead of saying that Google hates Indonesia you should start thinking about the people in your own country who fuck it up for you.....

    Google adsense has nothing to do with your country! It is just that they don't like low quality websites.

    hmm I think so. but some publishers from Indonesia have worked with them for 8 years and they suddenly got shutted 3 days ago. strange
    I think some publishers have. I already said goodbye to Google Adsense myself, even though I do respect them.

    Although I have Adsense account, I am not focusing on it anymore. heck, I can make more money with Clickbank and CPA with less strict rules.

    Google does not care about 3rd world countries. Majority of their advertisers don't care either.

    Google doesn't tell any reasons when they ban accounts. The emails they send are very vague. Their TOS only mean one thing and that is they can suspend any account any time for any reason. If an account is banned for policy violation and not for invalid clicks they keep all the publisher share of earnings and do not return anything to the advertisers. Which means they make a lot of money from suspending random accounts. Same thing happened to Pakistanis last year in October when almost 90 % accounts were banned. Perhaps its easier for them to go after publishers in third world countries. They know most of the publishers will make new accounts and google will not lose any customers. So it doesn't hurt them at all.

    If a different company than google was doing all this everybody would be shouting SCAM SCAM all over the internet. Because they are the most popular search engine people do not want to believe this.

    Adsense is probably the biggest scam in the internet history and yet not many want to call it a scam. Even those who get banned with thousands of dollars in account a few days before the payment date don't want to call it a scam because they don't expect this from most visited website on the internet.
    They provide zero publisher support and their system is obscure to say the least. Many wonder why the best search engine in the world can't provide a decent support system. That's for a reason. In this way it becomes possible for google to make a lot of money from banning random accounts. Of course they are answerable to no one.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your opinion, mate
    +1 repo for that.

    Your opinion is little bit other way than another. That was my point too. I was like, is everybody being blinded that Google is able to ban all accounts without obvious reason?

    But right now I do not really care because I have been saying goodbye to Google Adsense :)

    Click Fraud Click Fraud and Click Fraud.

    This is the Reason Why Many Asian Countries are Being Blacklisted in Adsense Dictionary.

    I Myself from an Asian Country but the Fact is Really Asian Countries are Pretty Much Involved in Click Fraud/Fake Clicks.

    Click fraud is not a practice unique to Asian Countries. If you were doing it then its your own fault and you deserved to be banned. But you shouldn't assume that all the people from Asian Countries are dishonest like you. That's very presumptuous of you.
