We all know many honest and productive adsense publishers are banned daily due to sabotage by bad people. Why hundreds of PhD graduates in Google HQ unable to devise and implement a simple feature such as blocking rapid ads clicking by a single IP in a website? There should be an automatic filter to block 'easy to detect' invalid clicks like this - Advertisers don't have to pay a dime - Publisher account is saved from banning - Google has more revenue due to large number honest productive publishers that are motivated and will not be banned as long as they are honest. Everybody happy!! I do hope in near future Yahoo and MSN will release their similar worldwide affiliate ads publishing program with better publisher protection.
Excellent point. I can understand that they put a lot of care on the people who pay them (advertisers), but why absolutely no care for the publishers? They ruin a lot of business when they ban innocent sites because of their narrow vision on the advertisers.
nice thought there, i guess for google. is more profitable to them by banning publisher then proctecting them. lol and also its easier got publisher the advertiser.
that's silly, cause they might as well loose one publisher, but if he is banned they loose all of his earning potential and basically hand it over to bidvertiser!
I am sure Google already has a automatic filter in place to decide the productiveness of a publisher - earning amount from 1 (one web site). I would like to know any publisher who gets more than 1K per month from one web site being banned from Google. (We obviously assume they have been honest and not violated the TOS). By the way, there is a difference between 1K per month from 10 web sites and 1K from a single web site.
I was on $127 in 7 days with Adsense and then 'snap' gone. But i was gone because someone had been sabotaging my adsense through the use of an auto-clicker which (after dezending the implanted code on my site) was utilising a traffic exchange. Google, after lodging an appeal have said nothing but have deleted my entire AdSense account without so much as a word said. I am considering releasing the code which was implanted on my site to demonstrate the lack of protection publishers have against this sort of attack. This attack (whilst simplistic in it's approach) could cripple AdSense and AdWords if not properly policed by Google.
I think adsense try to look like a secured system but in fact i'm afraid it is not what it seems to be from this point of view...
I agree with every thing you have said, rep added. I don't think Google will benefit from banning sites, in the short term maybe, but on the long run it's not good for the company especially if new goos alternatives are launched.
What you guys say if we make a mass movement appeal for publisher protection? If hundreds of thousands or even millions publishers sending email to Google support asking for protection feature, then we will get noticed by those guys in Amphitheatre road. Can we start here from Digital Point forum? Come on guys this is for own good!!
I for one would love to just see the security beefed up on AdSense (to prevent malicious 3rd parties from tampering with my income). I've been banned (because of someone who doesn't like me), imagine what could be done against someone who depends on AdSense for a living!!!
This is the curse of PPC advertising, there have always been invalid clicks, and there will ALWAYS be invalid clicks, no one can change that, and that's a fact. People get banned now just because someone from their competition click bombed their sites, just so to kick the person from Adsense. In my opinion, this will also happen even after 10 years. Sure, there will be better protection, but still not something to be reliable with. If, and If, Google manages to detect somehow the 99% of the invalid clicks in the near or distant future, be asured that everyone would get unbanned from Adsense, and given another chance to make Google richer, while earning money for themselves. Though, that will never happen.... Adsense should not be anyone's main source of income, that's what's important. Sell your own ads, sell your own products, manage the bussines all by yourself. My advice would be to concentrate on other parts of online business instead studying to get a a degree as an Adsense expert. Its not those who earn money from the ads that get rich, it's those who advertise that get rich, that is something that must be understood. Sure those who advertise other's products get a lot of money from their well paying advertisers, but the sellers get much, much more. Selling is the key to financial sucess in my opinion. Today when everyone can have a paypal account and can buy something online from their homes, or even from their mobile phones, selling products is even easier. Whether it's an e-book, a video game, or some software, or even t-shirts with your website logos on them, you will get more money from your buying costumers then advertising.
how true we publisher must have some defense to stop the banning of account. maybe like a new section that helps ur solve any prob caused by invalid clicks.I think google should so something like this
