2nd Time I Have Been Banned

    Hi i have been banned twice from google adsense and i suppose it must be my fault somehow i would imagine they don't just cancel accounts for nothing i suspect it could be my traffic i purchase traffic from forums using newsletter broadcasts and reading the TOS i have discovered using paid to read emails is not allowed now i suspect the seller of the newsletter has used such networks without advertising the fact he does but i shouldnt of used this traffic so i am taking responsibilty.

    Anyway's i am moving on but my problem is both times i had a balance in my account and now that is lost i think adsense is very unstable and risky to use so what are my alternatives to generate revenue would you suggest i go with.

    adsense similar programs, clickbank or use a banner rotation of different affiliate programs i have joined through CJ and shareasale.com

    Because with affiliate programs the commisions are higher but it means making a sale and without alot of traffic making a sale may take a long time were i would have earned some good adsense also clickbank it is a good one but i have used them and about 7 out of 10 commisions i made were later refunded so i stopped using them.

    Any advice appreciated.

    I make over $6K/month on clickbank alone, clickbank is good shit. You just need to be more creative.

    that's my 1 cent

    I do like the idea of clickbank and i know they have new rules on abuse of refund policy.

    I would use the ad blocks to advertise the products but does anyone know is clickbank has as strict rules as adsense.

    clickbank is a numbers game, that is some good advice.

    Try signing up third time and see you don't repeat the mistake you got banned this time.

    Join the club.

    Adsense is moving into directions that mean a lot of publishers will be banned.

    CLickbank is good, cj I would place at the very bottom of any way to monetize a website.

    Good point. I think eventually Google wants to get rid of any site created with Adsense in mind over content. Which means about 95% of the people on this forum.

    I have just spent time reading other adsense horror stories on the internet and in DP i think i am being convinced not to try again to apply to adsense i am however thinking of clickbank in coordination with some good affiliate banner's through Commission Junction.

    Looking back at it i should have not joined adsense again i make more using ebay affiliate program than i have ever made from adsense but it was just the ease of adsense with the ability to earn per click which is appealing on a low traffic site.

    My first advice is to use some periods! LOL. Seriously, I'm so used to stopping when I see a period, that when someone doesn't use a period, I keep reading like an idiot.

    But anyways, you probably got banned the second time because they figured out you already had a banned account, and they don't allow a second account to banned publishers.

    As to alternatives, I wouldn't give up on CPC just yet. You can always try the various alternatives, Adbrite, Clicksor, Bidvertiser, etc. Try to get into Yahoo PUblishing Network if you're a US citizen. And you're right, affiliate sales is very difficult, and more often than not it takes money to make affiliate sales.

    I have decided on my new advertising strategy and i am now not worried about not using adsense.

    Considering potential earning with my new affiliate banner i have placed on my site it out measures anything i made with adsense anyway.

    I am stuck on 1 more thing which is best azoogle or adbrite.

    Thank you

    I was thinking of trying a third time but it just isn't worth it when i make them money then get banned and i don't even receive the outstanding balance.

    I will likely wait for the email from adsense to see why i got banned and then appeal and then go on from there depending on the reason i could try again, but the reason may be as i was previously banned.
