It's really frustrating because Adsense doesn't have any phone support. I could write out a full page with server logs showing how there was no way I could have personally placed my ad code on a violating webpage, and Google would just give a standard cookie-cutter response like "We have reviewed your website again and determined that there were invalid clicks. Your account will remain banned. kthxbai." I tried using a family member's name and registering a new account a while ago, and it got approved. After spending some 20 hours on launching a new website and racking nearly $100 on it, Google banned me again for being "associated with formerly banned accounts." I used a completely different name, tax ID, site URL, IP address, etc. The only way they could have known is through Gmail accounts...and if so, they're truly taking over the world. I've tried writing another appeal but I'm not expecting much. What can I do? This is extremely frustrating. It seems that Google doesn't even read your appeals and instead just responds with automatic cookie-cutter templates. It's also extremely assholish of them to ban people now, as opposed to during application (a simple rejection would have been better). On the other hand, there are some blatant violations up for months I've reported and Google doesn't seem to give a crap about them. The irony.
You were banned, end of story, sorry to say. Did you use a different "physical address", if you didn't then of course they realized it was linked to a banned account. Also, you agree to the GMail terms of service when you sign-up, so if it says they can read all your e-mail then guess what... they can.
They can track your IP Logins to. New account got log ins from a banned IP. Change you IP address. (Switch ISPs!)
This is utterly retarded, then. This incident happened before Google introduced the "allow list" option, too. I tried twice, both cookie-cutters and gave up. You think I should send in another appeal and see what happens? Another company seriously needs to break Google's monopoly on the contextual advertising market. Awful customer service, ripping off publishers, etc.
People have successfully gotten around a ban before, right? Different name Different Tax ID Different physical address Different ISP Different website(s) Different email logins Anything else?
new OS! lol google can track down and DL your cookies, so if you use the same computer, expect to be busted
