Well, we all know the whole "Google locks you before you pay" thing, I was not locked, but something else funny happened. I got google 2-3 weeks ago, and I made my $100 already, but the moment I made it, suddenly they ban my site from using google ads, when it's the SAME site I used when they accepted it lol. Saying it's against their terms. I'm glad they didn't lock my account, but still, I find it odd they accept a site, until they see the site is making money
one of my friends sites had the same situation, he got paid, but also got banned. Due to creating links in places where he wasn't supposed to. some sort of spam
