Google has Suspended my adsense Account

As is their right as a business and dealing with contractors who try to rip them off in any way they can, every day. This is why we all agree to these rules when we sign up. Nobody is forcing you or me to use Adsense.

 

I agree with everything you said, but I still forsee lawsuits especially where large dollars are confiscated out of peoples accounts and there is no legitimate appeal process or customer service route.

 

If it's suspended for any violation to their ad sense terms then you won't get even a penny back, you should always withdraw money and your earning some was quite a big, why did u take the risk to keep them in account ? I am sorry to say but it's not possible to get your money back. Still don't loose the hope try to email them and see if it works or not. Good luck !!!

 

Based on anecdotal information that I see here and at other webmaster forums, it seems that only a very small portion of U.S. publisher's have their accounts banned and money "returned to the advertisers". It appears that the overwhelming number of banned accounts are from publishers in other countries. Because of this, I think it reduces the chances of any class-action. Also, there is a legitimate appeal process (ask Shawn, the owner of this forum) - and I'm sure Google saves the info that they used to make a decision to ban someone in the event of any lawsuit... I think most would probably also agree that the majority of accounts that were banned, needed to be banned and therefore would not prevail in any legal argument.

 

what were you doing

 

Well, lets take the example of click fraud. One of your competitors ranks lower in serps. Instead of competing to move his site higher, he elects to simply click bomb your site thereby having google suspend your adsense account.

You contact google and they respond that there is nothing they can do about it. They say we have proof of the fraud, but we cannot share that proof with you in order to protect our algorithms and advertisers. We thank you for being a good customer in the past.

This story does play out occasionally in these forums. While I agree that most of the stories the publisher deserved what he got, it's that 1% I'm worried about through no fault of their own lost their privileges.

 

Agreed - 100% .. just dont know if there is enough of that for a class-action, sa'll i'm sayin..

 

People who earn that much nowadays do not depend only on G. Most of the big time earners knows the risks of dealing with them. If you have good traffic and content which made you earn that much money, you can go for many other too. Though a bit less, they care you cause you make them earn too.

 

Lawsuits really never start out as class action, it will be one rich guy who is pissed as can afford to battle google in court. It will make news. Then all the sudden you have hundreds of other "me too" people come out of the wood work saying the same thing happened to them.

 

lol very true

 

Writing to google would be where most people would start....Not asking on a forum that's not owned by google, nor run by google. It's a bit like taking your ford car into a mercedes dealership that you didn't buy the car from and asking for your money back. Whilst we can give advice, we can't do a thing for you. Google pay me everytime I earn over £60 which is the minimum limit in the UK, most odd that in your country the minimum limit is set at over $7500......e.g why the hell anyone would leave that amount in their account is unbelievable, and hence as one other has commented, so are your earnings. If you were earning that much a month you'd have your own account manager to phone up, as they do this for high value adsense accounts.

 

What a pity~

 

Wow...I am brand new to adsense. I'm glad to hear these stories before I get in too deep.

 

my accounti s suspended too but without money in. the money was refunded to the advertisers and not to me ofcourse

 

Sad story. $7500 is a lot of money to lose. so sorry

 

There is no other option rather to post a message to them.

 

Once banned Google will not return the money to the publisher for sure.....Not sure do they have any process to return the money to the advertisers indeed (not heard anyone got money back in their adwords account).....

 

Sorry to hear bro..Try using alternatives of Adsense

 

Most likely invalid clicks spammer spammed clicks on your website ;(
