On the 13th September, I was informed by Google that I had violated Adsense rules and my adsense account was suspended for several days pending appeal, which was successful. On receiving notice of the re-instatement of my adsense account, I discovered that my main revenue source Youtube Videos were not showing ads and therefore, no income ! Despite confirmation a week ago on October the 8th that the problem has been forwarded to the YouTube monetization team I have no or ads showing and no income which is now a loss of over £200 (ouch !) Any advice you can offer will be much appreciated. I have had no response from the YouTube monetization team. Also . . . finally discovered why adsense penalised me, a friend staying with me and allowed to use my computer (i forgot to log-off my Site) has been repeat-clicking on his own, non-adsensed videos at YouTube to lift viewing numbers to impress his pals !
So your friend has abused youtube from a computer linked to your ip (They don't know it's him it's your ip after all!!!), and you are really, really wanting to know why youtube isn't showing your ads....the words 'Give me strength' spring to mind. Be lucky you didn't get a full and permanent ban. kiss that youtube money goodbye.
I didnt think that you could use stupid clicking to try to increase video views, I thought they had all of that figured out to reduce fake views. If you believe this happened due to your friend, then my advice, tell your friend he owes you £200. @op, I find that it is a good idea to have adblocker installed on your home PC, specially for me, as I dont want my kids / friends etc doing any accidental clicks etc, so always having adblocker helps. AdsensePLR, can you confirm for sure that *this* would actually be the cause of someone having their adsense account banned? My worry is that he may have been banned for something else-> which means that if he mistakes this as the reason for the dramas, then he is only days away from being perma banned.
