Years ago, when I was younger and more foolish I ran a website, and clicked on a few ads. Never actually made any money because after about 3 days I was banned from adsense. Has anyone ever had a ban from adsense lifted?
Yes... it happened me with me - not that i clicked on my ads... but adsense account was banned... so i had written to them and my account was unlocked but this took almost 2-years for unbanning my account... as per my experience i can tell - if you are honest with your saying and has not done anything against adsense terms your account will likely to have unbanned
In my experience Google usually holds a grudge and makes bans permanent. In their eyes, 'once a scammer, always a scammer'. This is even true if they do not have conclusive evidence but just a strong suspicion. I have been banned from AdSense since 2005. Since then I have tried to get my account reinstated without any luck. They even banned my girlfriend's account a while after I put her ads on my websites. Of course this was after they let the pending revenue build up to several hundred dollars. Either look into another ad network or consider promoting affiliate programs offered by networks like cj.com and linkshare.com
Google is not your dad so don't expect it to forgive you, but you can always get a new account with a brand new website and a new home address.
Try to find other affiliate or advertising other than adsense, there's plenty around the net, just Google it^^. But be cautious for scams, try to read feedback or forums like DP for trusted affiliates. Better move on, it's all your fault.^^
CJ.com is your best bet, they've helped people make $10-$40k+ of commissions everyday that I know. Honestly, you've probably permanently lost your account and you're not going to get it back. I've learnt from my mistakes, but not attempted to get my account reinstated. And, it might be your website if your account and your girlfriends both got banned for being on the same site (as you've previously mentioned).
Does Google know forgiveness? If ya know you did wrong then why bother... take it with a grain of salt and move on laterz malcolm
You must change your address and name but be sure it is your real address to receive the cheq from google
Nah sometimes they lift the bans.... My friend got his ban removed. and few weeks ago i was seeing a service in DP SERVICES section of gettting your ban removed -- Never loose Hope just email nd email them with proofs
move on dude , try some other things nd dont waste your time on google adsense anymore that is what i have learned after being banned from google
if they wont lift your ban, use you family members name. its the only way if you really want adsense on your site.
