Payments on hold.

    I logged into my adsense account last night and seen at the top a small box saying
    When I clicked on more deails it goes to an email page. Ive emailed then saying exactly why this is happening... Ive never clicked my own ads so how long do you think this would take to clear up? It will be pretty annoying if google disable my account as i've $230 in it to be payed...

    What were the reasons they gave for placing your payments on hold?

    I assumed the e-mail that took you too may of provided some information. Have you checked to see if you have any e-mail at the e-mail address you gave as a contact point?

    Have you been with Adsense long? The only time I've had that message was when I first joined and was going through the validation process, like tax infomation and PIN number. When that happened, the route to take was always obvious.

    Without more info I can only suggest you wait for the reply from Google.

    I'd assume, if there was a TOS violation, that you would have received some clarification.

    I email a place where I can send an email to them... Ivehad adsense since 2005 but for the past month I have been getting alot more revenue in it. So maybe they seen a spike and wondered why.

    There wasnt any violation from my end, I use adsense on my proxy sites but not the proxified pages.

    Thanks

    :eek: I got the payments on hold message before but that was because I had to enter my PIN to release them but obviously because you have received that email they think you make have clicked your ads or paid people to.

    You might have had your payments on hold your self. I cant exactly tell you how to recover it now as adsense page is down atm, well what you can do is login to your account and go to payment options and find an option where you can hold or unhold your payment. Infact i myself have my payments on hold but i did it my self becuase i am abroad for a month and unable to receive my check so i found this option of holding your payment for some certain period of time and u can change it back when ever you want. Hope this help.

    Payments are usually on hold when you have not entered your Tax Information , You have not verified you Address i.e you have been mailed the PIN for long and you have not entered the PIN to verify your address. The other reason might be when the publisher himself puts the payment on hold by choosing the Hold Payment check box.

    So far i have only seen these reasons why payments are on hold, i never knew you get a Payment are on Hold option when you are banned:)

    Hope you are lucky enough....

    These are different types of hold, when you click on the more information you are taken to a contact page. Things are not looking good.

    At least google gave you the chance, some people don't get chances like you.

    I got an email back saying they are taking and amount from my account... pretty annoyed from this. Ive also heard that 70% of proxy.org traffic isnt human which most likely caused it.
