These bots (automated system developed by Google) ban blogs/websites which it feels, are not complying with their TOS. These bots work much faster and more efficiently when compared to humans but little do they know, even bots can make mistakes! And when this happens, an appeal by publishers is filed for a human ( Google Employee) to take a look in to our websites. On 99% of the times, Google Employees will go with their bots' decision, and this is the most disappointing aspect.
I have just got the same message from Google Adsense that my account has been disabled when I have not clicked on any of the links and I have not even told my friends or relative about my site. I paid for the account last month and this month it has been disabled. Any suggestion?
This guy is right on the money. A square head robot makes the decision about shutting down your AdSense account. Yes, Google has over 20,000 employees but they are all concentrating on self-driving cars, scanning books and newspapers, creating "green" toilet paper, creating wind turbines and solar factories, trips to Mars, fighting in courts evil Microsoft and Facebook; and making more billions of $$$.
Sorry to hear that but if adsense is not helping you then there are other options too, you can try them.
Adbrite is mostly filled of spam-like advertisements. Nothing beats Google Adsense. You could always register a business and create an account under the business name.
Something is better than nothing. Even those Adsense clients who have not been banned yet, should get Adbrite as it can be placed on sites with Adsense.
Nothing is perfect guys, forget the banned one and create new one to restart, if you're not satisfied with GA, try other advertising companies.
Are you saying that you added ads from your new account to the same websites that were in your old account and there were no problems? I've wondered about that.
Sad Man My also 3 months account for disabled for not doing anything.... But i guess my adsense email id was hacked... and then some one clicked my ads.
Google dont really care much about the publisher. They just want to protect their advertiser. But we have to admit that Google is the best. All alternative like adbrite or chitikia pay too low compare with Google
To protect the Advertiser is priority for Google. Because Advertisers cannot cheat once Advertise starts, but the publisher can.
Got a reply from Google today, and after waiting for close to a week, this is what I had to see - Hello, Thank you for your appeal. We appreciate the additional information you've provided, as well as your continued interest in the AdSense program. However, after thoroughly re-reviewing your account data and taking your feedback into consideration, our specialists have confirmed that we're unable to reinstate your AdSense account. As a reminder, if you have any questions or concerns about your account, the actions we've taken, or invalid activity in general, you can find more information by visiting http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=57153.
I agree with you. But there are a few publishers who did appeal and got their accounts back. So, since I was honest enough (and as I was ready to give the last 6 months' visitors data as a proof), I wanted to see if Google really can identify honest publishers and reinstates their accounts. Now however, it has proved false.
Do you have friends knowing about your websites? Maybe they just clicked to "help you". What source of traffic you have? Pages with no content and ads? Just trying to figure out what invalid activity means.
I have been an AdSense publisher since 3 years and I pretty much know how it works. I did not tell any of my known people to click on ads, as all those would never help. My website (of course with content) received traffic from all over the globe, and from several sources including Bookmarking websites, Google search, yahoo search, etc. No fake traffic, or no artificial ways of generating clicks.
