I am a writer for a major online news site (Alexa rank in the 600s). If any one on this forum has been scammed by Google Adsense, please write a comment below, explaining why you believe that Adsense scammed you (you didn't click on your own advertisements). I am writing a big report on this, and this news article will be seen by many, many people. Make your complaints heard!
I am a little hazy on the definition of scammed in this context. Could you please expand and possibly provide some examples?
Google never scammed i guess, They might have wrong analysis while terminating or suspending your adsense account because all of them are not controlled or gone through human eye, According to my research sometimes you get banned for nothing , like on basis of wrong records / analysis generated by robots otherwise there is nothing wrong with Google adsense, some people are making more than enough...! and some like me are still trying to make enough
Really? Your post is so poorly written that it is difficult to believe that you are a writer for aa "major" online news site. Don't know what your angle is, but you must think that we're fools. Good luck with that.
Google do not scam you. Those who didn't get paid their earnings or who had their accounts closed have only received justifyable treatment. Go by the rules and Google will treat you well... That's all there is to it. To the OP.. Please tell me your online news site.. so I don't read any other b*****t from it?
I don't think they scam you. Some may think they have been scammed because they don't earn $1,000 or more a month and get upset so they call it a "scam".
The way google works is ridiculus, I have been working with them for quite a long time, they disabled my account and no reply to my 3 requests, I am also working with Adwords for my website and they disabled my adwords account as well!! this is funny, I am going to go with Yahoo and not google anymore!!
Before you ran off half cocked and wrote your very misinformed story, you probably should have hung around here for a bit longer. If you had of, you may have learned a few of the possible/likely reasons your account was banned. First of all, how often do you publish a story to Business insider, then run the exact same story on your own site? It looks like more than just a few times... Also, posts like this one, are not only extremely thin on content, but its not even close to being a complete list of SE's. Apart from the thin, republished content which looks very MFA, the kicker (or maybe the reason) is the post you made 1 day before getting banned, titled: "My AdSense Earnings" Its probably a bit late now, you should have read the ToS when you signed up. https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms Once you have had a good read of the AdSense ToS, maybe you should go back and edit/correct your "Google Adsense Scammed Me" article. Then apologize to AdSense for jumping to conclusions and calling them scammers. After all, it was most likely because you did not adhere to their ToS. Hope that helps. Cheers James
He already did. I linked to his "very misinformed" article on Business insider in my above post. Cheers James
Google does not ban publishers ONLY for clicking on their own ads.. There are many other rules that can be broken, resulting in an account getting closed/banned. Had you taken the time to have actually become acquainted with these rules and guidelines you would know this, but clearly, you have not. I have read many sob-stories in webmaster forums (including here at DP) about publishers being "scammed", but when the truth finally comes out, it almost always turns-out that the publisher knowingly or unknowingly violated the rules and guidelines. For those that truly did not violate any rules there is the appeal process. I am in no way saying that Google (Adsense) is perfect, but I can assure you and the readers there are a lot more publishers out there trying to scam Google than there are cases of Google "scamming" publishers.
