5 Year old Adsense Publisher - DoubleClick Premium Sites Banned For Pornography?

    I got an email from Google after 3 days of terrible eCPM's that said my entire account was banned due to violations of their TOS for having ads on pornographic pages. I do not own any porn websites. However, almost everything I own is user generated. Why would they not send me an example of a violating page and give me a chance to remove the content?

    One of the websites in this account was a Doubleclick premium site (or whatever the high level publishers are called)

    I already submitted an appeal, what else can I do?

    You can only wait for them to consider the appeal. If your site is okay and if the user generated content is well moderated, your account should be reinstated.

    Whoa, this is making me scared now, because I want to have my own user generated content. I would think twice.

    Google is always changing their TOS you just have to make sure you monitor your sites and have them properly optimized.

    A possible scenario is someone used your adsense code in a pornographic website. That is possible. One way to protect yourself against this is to list all your websites in the "Allowed Sites" in your Adsense account so that only those ads appearing on your legitimate websites are the ones counted by Adsense.
