Just curious. How many of you will get burned if banned?

    I always wondered this. A lot of webmasters don't depend on adsense totally. They use plenty of other ways of income on online.

    Heck I use Kontera, adsense, adtoll, adengage, CJ, freelancing, etc.

    But I can personally say that if I ever got banned or adsense just thought that they didn't like my account and got rid of me, I'm sure that I'd be totally screwed.

    How many of you depend on adsense as your main income?

    I would lose a little but not enough to stress over. I like the little extra cash but I would find other ways to earn.

    I would be upset since I am working on ways to earn a lot through it. But I do freelance work for most of it

    I make a very good living on my site and I think its because I don't place andsense on there, keeping it clean and tidy and trustworthy, people see a bunch of ads and it can put them off, best thing I ever did not taking advice of others as I do get the traffic to make it work, but make money other ways.

    It is a hobby for me.
    Adsense gives me a little more than the broadband charges.

    i'd lose majority of my online non-adult site income..

    lucky me i've been doing adult sites for about 5 years and that's where my real money comes in..

    i still haven't cracked non-adult sites + adsense

    At the very moment, I depend on adsense completely. I used to do freelancing work at few sites, which at the moment I am not doing.

    Adsense is my main source of revenue, so if I was to be banned I would lose almost everything revenue wise.

    i just got banned for no reason from them. my proxy site took off and then my bandwidth was getting to its max so i disabled the proxy but still had the page up. people were going to it realizing it was down and clicking the ads since they lead to other proxies. i guess google took that as invalid clicks. i tried explaining to them that and they still wrote back and said they cannot reinstate my account. i'm out about 60 bucks i earned not much but i just started with them. i was just starting out in this and internet marketing and now i cant even use google!!

    I quit using AdSense so I would not have to worry about this. It was too much of a risk for me!

    I would probably get my face handed to me...I'd be able to use another program of course, but it would be a stressful situation not knowing how earnings were going to pan out, and having to make a hasty decision without proper research, causing wasted time.

    I should probably do the research now so that I may have a "Just in case" plan.

    ^^ You should switch to audio ads. That is what I now use, instead of AdSense. :)

    i dont rely on adsense at all, i use it, but i am yet to see any kind of profit that is worthy of considering it an income source. I pays my domain fees at the moment.
