AdSense ads stopped appearing on four of my proxies: A MySpace Proxy Facebook Proxy Friendster Proxy Xanga Proxy I wrote AdSense support and they responded that my sites were in violation of AdSense policies. After several rounds of sparring with the AdSense-support team, they still refuse to tell me what policy I may have violated. Am I the only one who finds this behavior really odd? This is made more difficult because I changed the sites from PHPProxy with custom templates to Glype proxies with bland default templates. I'm not sure if the sites got kicked to the curb before or after the template change. Has anyone else had their proxies kicked out of the AdSense program with no explanation?
They just disabled my proxies. My account is not yet canceled. I remembered that I had created URL channels for these proxies, so I can now identify 9 May as the date that these proxies were kicked out of the AdSense program. The software and template change did not occur until 16 May.
It might be, but they did have some content as part of their old themes when they were kicked out of the AdSense program. I haven't added content to the new pages yet, due to a quite understandable lack of motivation.
I went another couple of rounds with Google AdSense Policy Enforcement today and they steadfastly refuse to tell me why my sites have been kicked out of the program or what the procedure is to have them re-included. But... they did give me a clue. They now claim that this wasn't their decision! The current claim is that this decision was forced by another department. They claim that the department which kicked my proxies out of the AdSense program is the department responsible for creating the Webmaster Quality Guidelines and determining what constitutes a violation of those guidelines. Matt Cutts kicked my proxies out of the AdSense program? So much for the supposed separation of departments at Google. I've now replaced all of these proxies with a complaint about Google and pointers to proxy lists.
