I have had the same problem, until now I have no idea why Google close my acct. I have checked and all my visitor are unique. I never trust G anymore. Been using other network, but the amount of income is not as good as adsense, but at least it's safe.
may be there is someone mischievous, or he begrudge with you. dont worry, if you were honest, google will consider your appeal..
Your google adsense account, will be banned around the middle of the month. Please, prepare paramedics and an ambulance in front of your house, just in case if you suddenly have a heart attack or stroke.
I highly doubt you got banned for no reason. Where were your traffic coming from? If you bought those $10 for 100000 visitors to your site crap, then you deserve to get banned. If Google would ban you just because somebody hates you and clickbomb your ads, then almost everyones sites would be banned by now if that is possible. Look at ezinearticles.com ... try clicking their ads twenty million times... they will still be running ads tomorrow...
For my case, I do my own SEO and my traffic are all from SE. I have appeal and no feedback. Ask them why was it banned, and no feedback. Majority of traffic are from US and Can, and smaller portion are around the world. oh well...life is life.
I have gone away from Google Adsense for the most part because of the very reasons you described above. Besides, there are so many other ways to make money. For example affiliate product sales. But the only other way I see you getting another account is via a trusted family member or even opening up a LLC or Incorporating your business. But you would need legal advice from a lawyer perhaps. Cheers
if you click on your ad from the same computer with the same IP address you will get banned!!!!!!!!!! trust me... that's how they check their stats!!!!!! so it can be anyone from you or your friends or someone being jealous of you because they got banned also!!!!!! i'm a web developer i know wat i'm talking about... i'm currently writing a script that automatically disables your ads after anyone clicks on them enough times to raise an eyebrow so you wont go to a account banned problem.. pm me if your interested??
Its really a very bad situation same thing happened with my friend few months back but in that case there was different problem. He had a website for songs download in which he used to give referral website links from where user can download the songs. But Google said he cant use adsense for this website because it is violating our rules. But initially they approved that website and when he was expecting his first check he come to know that he cant use adsense for that website. __________________________________ legal outsourcing - ebay listing services
You just got some bad luck (if you're innocent). Nearly impossible to reinstate a banned account. You've got to start looking at some other options like trying to open up a new adsense account. Good luck.
try to post the topic on google forum if you don't get any reply from them then try to use any other adsense alternative like adbrite, retrackmedia,smowtion media
they wont unban you, they dont give a shit about any appeals. hard to say but at least dont hope nothing...
Yeah that's probably the worst disadvantage of Google AdSense... You never know what's gonna happen tomorrow.
Getting adsense account unbanned is close to impossible. Trying a different company is a better choice.
