    welp, today's a sad day indeed for me. my adsense account was disabled. not exactly sure why, don't really need support on that, because even if i do get all the feedback in the world about their TOS and what not, it wouldn't help. all i'm wondering right now is, after i've filed my adsense account appeal, how long should i expect to get a response, if one ever comes? 24 hours? 48 hours?

    I have read that you will receive a reply, but not sure on when, but their reply will be quite standard and canned. Maybe it is time to explore alternatives to Adsense? Sad to hear of your plight.

    It is what it is. Move on.
    How long you been using your Adsense account ?

    and, it is better to clean up the sites before sending in an appeal.

    Sad to hear. Unfortunately it seems that Google's customer service response rate varies quite greatly so it's hard to say in roughly what time frame you should expect to hear back from them.

    Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, Google works on their own time. Hopefully you'll hear something from them soon. In the mean time I would start looking into alternative ways to bring in revenue. Good luck.
