Hello, I am new to this forum i found it on a search engine looking for help with adsense.. My story, I have been working on a site for about 2 years now.. I just now shut it down cause google adsense banned me. This is part of the e-mail: "While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our advertisers in the future, we've decided to disable your account." This is very weird, cause i have about 5,000 to 10,000 unique hits a day and I make really good money of the site through adsense. So my Nov. earning where between $3,000 and $5,000 and right on Dec 4 my account got banned. I am trying to appeal this! My traffic is all from link exchanges, articels, SEO, and forums! The only thing that caught my attention is there where more searches on my site that month with more clicks! Off question, is it against adsense rules if people come to your site and search when their there? I think thats what happened, more people came back and searched on my site! I am really mad that now I spend 2 years getting my site up to that pay on adsense and its all wasted time and now I won't even get paid my last check!
Can anyone tell me a company that does what google does? With ad contant and search? Right now i am gong to try and switch the site to yahoo but they won't pay for searches? Ian
me also got banned for the same reason on dec 4th. But i got my check(october earnings)Rs.50000 . Can i cash it or what will be the result of cashing that check. Im from india... So please tel any chance to cash that check and procedures to reinstate my account
I also got banned when i reached $95. I Guess Google is on account disabling spree. Just out of nowhere and shocking i received email about my adsense a/c being disabled. I am sure its not of invalid clicks, experts how do i get back my a/c. I will keep on fighting for my account coz i have spent lot of time working on my blog leaving my work, now they have banned me . I am about to go crazy if i don't get my a/c back..
I can confirm that adding adsense search to your site significantly increases the risk of getting banned. Besides the search, links unit also poses a significant risk. Adsense search makes it possible to display ads of specific high paying keywords; therefore, adsense anti-fraud system is strict on the clicks generated from searching. Many times they even assign real people to review the search queries and clicks. Ok, links unit makes it possible to display a long list of *pure* ads. Visitors are often on clicking spree when viewing links unit, so adsense anti-fraud system is also strict on this. They triple check the clicks generated from link unit, and so are from searching.
How can having the google search bar on your site increase your chances of getting banned. I mean they offer it as one of their Adsense tools right? If people use it to search and click on the results that's the point of the whole thing, so I can't see why it's risky. Anyone have backup for this idea?
From your blog page on how trying-to-cheat-google-adsense (or not to), you should have heeded the advise.
well, the first two, "Medical science, Mesothelioma and Asbestos" and "All about Mountaineering" scream MFA to me..unless you are a doctor or your favorite past time/hobby is mountaineering, i would guess you created those two blogs just to attract high paying keywords. That being said, i would be surprised if that's the only reason for the ban, because there are 9,000,000,000,000 other sites/blogs out there that are even worse than yours.. at least yours had what appeared to be real content..
Also i think there are 6 ad units on that page, cant see, but error showing areas are 6 on those pages.
Well, google stops the cheque once you get ban, so if you en cash the check, then there will be a bounce of check, so you will have to pay extra money to your bank, and besides that, I tink this problem is only wen your check are issued in dollers, when they are issued in rupees, then google already converts your check to rupees and they sends the payment, so encashing a check with IRS wont be a problem, I guess..
Duh! Google will not bounce the checks which was already sent to publisher. Why? Because Google would need to pay CitiBank $30 to void the check that they don't even know if it has been cashed out or not. That literally means Google has to assume checks that have been sent are already cashed out.
really?!! i remember reading somewhere saying, once you get banned, the cheques will be bounced and that person ended up paying fine because of the bounce
No that's all lies. The main reason Google doesn't bounce a check sent because it would create issues in accounting. Remember when the numbers in accounts are not equal to expected amount recorded by systems, they will need auditors to look through millions of records. That's not affordable. I mean Google cannot afford to pay 20k (lowest estimation) for audit just to stop some checks.
