I would like to note that critters pointed to the very few exceptions of people who were kicked out and got back in. Those people have been accounted for... I don't know of ANY innocent people, who got kicked out and did not get let back in.
Keep in mind that it can sometimes take up to 8 weeks (aeiou - I am not sure which exceptions Critters PM'd you)
Critter didn't pm anything. I was just talking about the exceptions he had mentioned. I imagine the longer redos might have something to do when they find evidence that certain activities were actual the responsibility of a different party... Anyways the reality is considering the number of people running adsense, the chance of you getting banned wrongfully is very very very very small. That is the bottom line. We can talk about the few cases of people who got let back in all day long, but it doesn't change the fact that if you don't do anything wrong you don't have a lot to worry about. That doesn't mean there are not exceptions.
I was just wondering about this.. I've seen some sites with just blank white square where AdSense ad should be. Does that mean that AdSense publisher got banned?
Ahh.. Thank you for your responses. I think I got blog spammer's AdSense account banned by reporting it to Google. He created over 200 bogus contentless spam blogs filled with thousands of links which point back to his contentless pages. Now all I see is blank white squares on every page where AdSense once was.
Just think of the $ money $ to be made if that sentence was: "one site done, hundreds to go" .. ah Each to their own, but I know what I'd be doing! Pete
You guys have to clearify that "white space" a bit. If you use Opera and see a white space somewhere it doesnt mean the publisher got banned. Opera shows white spaces when it cannot find ads for the topic.
White space does not mean banned. It is possible to select an alternative colour to PSA and that can be a #ffffff (white) colour option.
