Hey I have a small problem with my campaigns and I am not sure what happened. I run some adsense arbitrage campaigns and everything seemed fine and I was making some cash with no problems. Google didn't seem to mind and they even saw what I was doing once, but over these weekends it seems like all traffic was turned off. I was getting over 3k of clicks daily from my campaigns and now it all dropped down to zero. What's very interesting is I got no emails, all my campaigns and keywords are active, adsense ads show up and no changes were made to account in terms of ad display. I tried transferring one campaign from one account to another with everything the same and it still showed up with 0 clicks and etc. Any ideas? Did anyone else has the same problem? thanks
I'm not sure what exactly is happening but i would definitely like to caution you against arbitrage. Google tends to ban adsense accounts with arbitrage traffic.
Exactly same thing happened to me two weeks ago and I was surprised like hell. After three days nothing happened, my campaigns started running as it is without problem.
So this arbitrage thing. That's why I don't start google adwords, I don't see a point if I cannot make money off of google adsense. Not sure what to do about that.
most likely it's one of two scenarios. 1. your ads are being reviewed in editorial (like if you edited something that flagged your ads, or if an advertiser submitted a trademark block) or 2. you've been banned. if you're banned, there is nothing you can do, you won't be contacted by them and you won't be allowed to use that credit card again. you can always call the customer service and have your inquiry escalated and at the very least you will know what the status is of your account. good luck.
Welcome to the online world. A place of no-control. Well, mostly no-control. No reasons, no explanations, no warnings, no nothing. I've had this happen to me on different occasion. But with a little patience things came back to normal. Just like most days I'm #3 in Google search the next day I'm nowhere to be found. Just remember the old addage "don't put all your eggs into one basket". Diversify is the key.
when you get google slapped they won't tell you anything and it says your campaigns are on. this is an automated process and you'll just have to get a new account. they have algorithms that auto-flag stuff.
your ads will never run. It seems recently that they if don't like your site, they give you a low qs and your ads will never run again even if you optimize your site. you account is also flagged and if you start a smiliar campaign with even a diff domain, it won't work - but the worst part is you won't ever know why. Change your domain, change your site content, open new account with new ip, cc, pc, name, address, change ads, change ad groups (named differently), mix up keywords. Then go on to give google more of your money!!
