I am wondering, do they ban accounts immediately when they find out flaws, or they will keep them running till just b4 the pay day? Very bad if they do this. Or, do they just check for flaws b4 pay day, or check everyday? If you were banned or know someone's banned, what was the date the banning was done?
that's very bad... what if someone earns thousands of dollars for the whole month's hard work, then got attacked by someone else or sth, then meaning all thousands of bucks gone with the wind? very unfair.
no wonder a lot of sites just using minimum of adsense when the site grows up. I think adsense is only good for beginners, and of course, good for pros like this one as well. But not good for high traffic website but low technical supports.
how about yahoo and other similar ads? are they all the evils or there may be some kind heart nice big guy out there?
Obviously right before payday. Why would they waste their time and money checking a site if it only makes less then a dollar a day. It's just smart business; as long as you follow the TOS they won't ban you
They ban you if you fail to follow the TOS. It is very clear what they expect and they do not just randomly ban those who make money. That would be stupid because the more money you make, the more they make. They do catch more before a payday because they double check that you did nothing wrong and if they catch you broke the rules, you become one of those sad stories on here that claim you did nothing wrong. Just follow the rules and there would be no need to start these kinds of threads. Most common reason to ask this is because someone broke the rules and thought maybe they beat Google and the advertisers but now they are wondering if they are going to get caught. Best advice, you are not smarter than Google and you will get caught!
Your right about the failure to folow the TOS and so on. One thing that bothers me about G is they usually fail to clarify why they ban or delete such a user. And when the user cooperates with G, it takes a long time for them to rectify the issue or never get back to you and just lose the money. I hope G has more staff to look into this matter.
They usually carry out their inspection just before pay time, and if they find something unwarranted happening in your site... hmmm guess you know what they do.
Yes they do, and they ban them 1 day after pay day and at the middle of the month, etc. Don't break the TOS and don't worry about it. It's really that simple.
totally agree The TOS are rules to follow. there are certain "holes" which we cant be sure. I mean, when i told my friend i am hosting this site i have to carefully tell them dun click the ads if you not interested, otherwise, out of friends support they certainly will help clicking without me mentioning it. and this.. surely can be against the TOS, though i didn't break it. What i say is, though they are right to ban certain accounts, at least a better way for mutual understanding can be build up. Not just everything on their hold and we might lost the whole pocket someday without realization. You know what, now i dare not mention about my online business to my friends.
Google will ban your account any day that they find something seriously wrong with it. They have to protect their advertisers and will not leave an account running if it's frauding their advertisers out of their advertising money as Adsense will only have to either refund them or will loose the advertisers in the long run.
