This message was sent from a notification-only email address that does not accept incoming email. Please do not reply to this message. Hello, While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as http://highestpayinglist.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html. Please note that this URL is an example and that the same violations may exist on other pages of your website. Publishers are not permitted to encourage users to click on Google ads or bring excessive attention to ad units. For example, your site cannot contain phrases such as "click the ads," "support our sponsors," "visit these recommended links," or other similar language that could refer to the Google ads on your site. Please make any necessary changes to your webpages in the next 72 hours. We also suggest that you take the time to review our program policies (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-1pp-en) to ensure that all of your other pages are in compliance. Once you update your site, we will automatically detect the changes and ad serving will not be affected. If you choose not to make the changes to your account within the next three days, your account will remain active but you will no longer be able to display ads on the site. Please note, however, that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, The Google AdSense Team Issue But the site mentioned by the adsense team doesnot contain any encouragement to click on the ads on my site.... i was shocked to see this message and so immediately removed adsense from tht blog of mine. Plz tell me if i will be banned?? i am due a payment the following month i have earned $105 now. i never got this message before and have successfully got payments before
my site was very fine it complies with adsense too u can check the blog it doesnot ask for visitors to click the ads
Sometimes it does happen that you get such warnings. Even I got a warning for doing nothing and I simply removed adsense from that particular blog and it was fine.. No risk shud be taken when the payout is near.
Well you should consider yourself lucky. They didn't ban your account and instead gave you a warning. If you feel the warning is wrong, I'd contact them and never expect a reply.
"or bring excessive attention to ad units" "or other similar language that could refer to the Google ads on your site" It was a good idea to remove the AdSense ads from that blog, and I agree with btks, you should consider yourself lucky. I don't think you can safely run AdSense on that site at all, as the whole blog is about about Ads, AdSense tips, ad placement, highest paying keywords etc... So therefore, the whole site brings excessive attention to the ads. Running AdSense on a blog about AdSense is a good way to get yourself banned. Cheers James
Sometimes it could be the placement of your ad - Ad beside picture, underneath the title, etc can get you banned. But at least they didn't terminate you account. Forget about reinstating, move on and use other form of monetising method or build new site
Do yourself a favor, Thank God that they didnt ban you straight, and than start making your site look as much legit as it can!
You won't be banned. Before putting back you ads in your blog, contact first Adsense support to help you solve it. You are lucky that you just got a warning. That only seldom happens to average publishers. Good luck mate!
"If you choose not to make the changes to your account within the next three days, your account will remain active but you will no longer be able to display ads on the site." see what they are talkig about and if you can make any changes to the site that will satisfy google. if you are doing any traffic exchange, then stop that. so far your account itself it active and you can use adsense on other sites. but if you can make your site complaint, then you will get your ads restored on this blog as well.
You are lucky that you only got a warning mail and given chance of correction,one of my friends account was disabled directly without any warning mail at all.
Not good delete the post with the keywords it's useless anyway people already know what pays the best. and just move on...
First of all, have you conform whether that mail is received from adsense or not, because people who are jealous on other websites, will send some warning messages, so that people will be afraid. So check and confirm from adsense also.
I think u shouldn't take any risk and keep your ads off untill u are not paid this month, Once u are paid, then put ur ads again and try to comply with adsense policies !
I got that warning once and promptly adjust my adsense ads to conform to their policy. I never receive any notification from google anymore even after the 3 days warning. I guess now my ads conforms to their policy now. So i suggest if you know what is wrong to rectify it otherwise just remove adsense ads from that site. I had $1680 outstanding payment when i get that warning. scare the hell out of me
