A friend of mine used adsense a while ago, and got banned for putting one more adslot then allowed. My question is, if i'm buying the website from him, can I place my adsense ads on it after it's legaly mine, without google banning me for 'past-activities' on that domain? Thanks.
no ..... is dangerous, when google ban, they ban ur name, ur web, url, ur payment address .... u can't used any method above to register a new adsense account (even ur mother name stay in the same add get ban too) ... advice don't, u can try to ask at google forum, is again their TOS
if its more than a year or something. you can add it again.. but its better to try contacting google before applying. if u make you question clearly they will be honest.
You just need to contact Adsense and tell them the site is under new ownership. Just send them a link to the whois listing (after you've added your name and address to it, that is)
I had a personal experience on this The situation was same as yours My friend was using adsense on a very high traffic site and he got banned from publishing I purchased that site because the traffic was heavy, but monetising with other ad systems was found difficult with that traffic, i already had an adsense account which was quite steady for 3 years, then i contacted adsense stating that i had purchased this site and would like to place ads, also made it clear in my email that the earlier publisher had been banned from adsense. I got a reply that i can use ads on that site since the data i had provided as of having purchased was genuine (i presume they ran a check of domain ownership and transfer dates), but there was a rider that the site will be on check for few months to see whether the violations for which it was banned earlier do not reoccur again, i placed ads and it has been running for 15 months now without a problem I think this should make it clear, the bottomline, better ask the pros (adsense help)
