I can't believe these pricks, they disabled my account for invalid click activity. Here is pretty much the story...I had my account open for 4 yrs. It literally made nothing in the first 3 1/2 yrs ($80) because my site was crap with no visits/impressions. I launched a new site 2-3 mths ago and it's doing very well (a lot more hits than my old site) and it made about $60 in those 3 mths. It was pretty much consistent, 15-20 clicks a day. Today google banned my account for click fraud which is impossible unless a competitor did it. They may have compared the past 3 mths to my old history but it doesn't make sense, my impressions perfectly match the amount of clicks. I checked this morning, I had like 800 impressions and 5-6 clicks. Got banned a few hrs after that last check. Anyone ever get out of this? I submitted the form to get thsis reveresed. Is there anyone I can call? This sucks b/c i'm honest and would never get involved with invalid clicking. I would definitely expect a ban and take it easily if that's what I was doing... I can't believe I just got robbed and wasted my time!
I think you may consult with Google Support Center and explain your problem! because if you got any invalid clicks inform them!
Jut create a new account with new name and address i think google will ignore you when you email them to review your account.good luck
If you request an appeal, it takes 3-5 months to receive a reply. More than likely they won't even reactivate it because, once it's happening, it's bound to happen again.
the google ban wagon is at it again. If you breath the wrong way the ban wagon will pick you up. if you dress funny they will pick you up. If the guy wakes up at google on the wrong end of there bed the ban wagon will pick you up. There are other and better and reliable programs out there so get off the ban wagon and start over, sorry about your loss. Have i mentioned that google is not god and google and adsense sucks.
What do you recommend? I'm in Canada. Other PPC I know of is adbrite but i'm hearing they pay nothing close to what google pays. I was thinking about opening a new account but what's the point. They're probably going to steal my money again. A friend also got banned today for no reason. Crooks!
from my experience in adsense .. $40 as you are beginner are high you must start low and increase gradually .
how you are from Canada .. i think any one from canda or from uk and usa his account not disable never ?
how you get $150 can you tell me how you bring traffic ?? and what's your content ? and can you share your site to help you and told you what's the best thing to make you account live again ?
google care only his name thats all same problem with me i also got banned like that i left the service of google they care only the name
I'm not saying the original poster perpetrated any click fraud, but it happens all the time around the world. Sites in non-English speaking countries tend to get banned more, but US/UK sites are far from immune.
I heard a case lately when a publisher won a case against Google amounting to $700+, so you can try asking them first why your account was disabled. Did you receive and email from them stating that they ban you. While waiting, you may want to try other money making strategies but not necessarily PPC...
I suggest you to try with some other PPC such as adbrite. I've seen some people mention here on DP that adbrite is much better than google adsense.
I'm sure there was a good reason why you got banned but we'll never know if you don't provide a link. Google is very fair.
