Just a note I have read other similar posts but didn't quite find the answer i was looking for. So about 3 years ago I signed up for google adwords (i was stil in hs lol) and yes I got greedy and clicked my own ads and was obviously removed from adsense. Now I am planning on starting a business and all that good stuff for my website and others I may start and I am wondering is it worth trying to get back into adsense with my business or try other advertising networks although payout isnt always as good as adsense? Yes I know i was a stupid noob back in the day, haha.
I suggest you first try to get back your adsense account by contacting adsense support and ask is they can re-enable your account. If that didn't work, then try adsense alternatives here forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=816484
I think google will accept your new adsense account (after 3years banned). You must have a new domain. Many adsense publisher said that content is the king, so you must add your website with a lot of unique content. Don't forget to build a link building and other SEO stuff.
Yeah, back then I was using a geocities website haha, couldn't afford to pay for hosting and domains back then. Now is a different story I'm more serious about things this time and want to do everything right and professionally this time. I think I own around 10+ domains at the moment.
Great going mate, 3 years and still want to fight back. Just go ahead and create a new adsense account with different credentials. Try setting it using your family member's credentials. It is a waste of time requesting google to help you.....
