Banned.. But PAID :)

Well my site was banned from showing Google Ads because I allowed people to download Youtube videos.
Makes sense, not complaining.
However, they didn't Ban my account and they still paid me even though almost 90% of the income was from that site.
With all I've read here regarding them being very strict and what not I was quite surprised.

 

i can say you are lucky.
However, try not to repeat the mistake, lucky only appear once in a blue moon

 

This is normal. Unless if your site is warez site or hacking site then your account would be banned too. If the violation is not that severe, they only ban your site, not your account.

 

If i were you, I would not even mention it

 

this is a informative thread for me coz i didnt know that we cant allow youtube downloadable videos on our site

 

Google is very fair. If you don't do bad thing to them like sending massive email whining and complaining of the sure thing that you cheating them. They won't ban your whole account

 

have you get your cheque. before you get your payment google will review your site so becareful

 

You are lucky dear

 

You are really lucky. Can we include you-tube videos links to our website?

 

what's different between you and your acount of googles point of view?

 

I also face this..One of my site has been banned..But my adsense account has not..Now i'm very very careful to prevent my account get banned..

 

you were paid because, your earning was not earned by Invalid Clicks.

 

Google is really caring about their adword customer

 

They can still request you to pay back the money.
My friend had to pay back $130 a month after he got paid.

 

lucky man you are,,but i think you won't make it twice man..

 

totally normal, your account hasn't been banned so you'll receive all earnings and can still display adsense on other sites. if it was for invalid clicks it would be another story, but it was just because of content.

 

i always put it this way...google is a big giant and we are parasites feeding on a giant. if we do something that will irritate the giant we get squished.

 

Well you were lucky but unfortunately you won't be able to return to the program now... :/

 

oh wow you got paid after getting banned? You want a cookie for that?

 

Lolz, May be you are lucky this time but you have to follow the TOS of adsense otherwise eveytime you wont get you payment and Google may banned your account for a lifetime.
