Anyone in DP got banned just before and shortly after you reached the first $100 mark? Rumours out there say that Adsense Team review sites that are reaching they first $100. Is this true or just another guessing rumour?
I am sure the check every account more carefully before they send out the first paycheck. I do not think they are looking for problem but like any other company they check what you have been working on before you get the paycheck. It would be fun to know if some one got large amounts of money back as they say they pay all the money back to the Adword accounts you been cheating. Maz i got was 0.25 $ back from them
IMO, it is not the $100 mark, but before the first payment. There is a difference. If you do not feed-in the PIN , you earnings will keep accumulating . Google will check the account just before they issue the check. However if the fraud is obvious e.g. clicks coming from same IP address it will get auto detected even before you reach a few dollars. Referrals work in the same manner. I had referred a friend to Adsense a few months back. She had crossed $100 within a few days, but had not entered her PIN. Thus I was not credited $100 referral commission. She entered her PIN this month and only after this was done, Google credited the $100 referral earnings to my account.
A customer of mine kept on clicking his own ads. I told him to stop. He had problem with the PIN code and did not get it in time. He got 300 $ the first month. But as soon as he enter the pin code they banned him. Stupid guy they even told him to stop clicking. O well now he and his 100 website have to wait to Yahoo or MSN reach Thailand.
So the guy was clicking his own links?? If so then I am really glad to know that google does protect their adword customers
I mean come one its not the difficult. When you have IP and cookies in your computer thats very easy to trace. You must be an idiot (sorry customer) to keep on clicking from your own computer then log in from the same one and check how much you made. This kind of people will be deleted very quick from Adsense. The problem is the once that have 200 000 computer under the control of a hacker and he makes this 200 000 computer click on diffrent sites he has. There is no way in hell Adsense can follow that. It was on BBC News 2 weeks ago very scary stuff that so little people have actully installed a virus protection.
200 000 clicks from different computers still look suspicious if they start clicking at the same time. I`m pretty sure that if one adsense account started getting a much larger number of clicks then they usually do, they would be investigated quickly enough by Google.
Well, they constantly monitor accounts. It just so happens they raise the dreaded finger pointing to oblivion just before payments are despatched. It happens in some cases but not all.
First time? Do you think the hackers are that stupid? Even otherwise, its takes time to get your spyware into 200 000 computers, isnt it?
Hehe ... they might not be, but I still think that an account that had a raise of 200 000 new visitors in couple of months on different websites will still raise an eyebrow in Google HQ .. not to mention the fact that the antivirus producers will catch on eventually ... and the websites getting clicks would be discovered. Maybe I`m wrong here .. it just seems hard on the long run to hide this from google . Not with 200 000 infected computers to point the finger at your adsense account anyway
They can just use 20 computers in diffrent IPS, google as no change checking this out. Next day the use another 20. They still will make a good money
